In the #scifi novel Babel, R.F. Kuang described a world where #linguistic knowledge is industrialized and centralized just as ours began building exactly that.
Part of what makes the novel feel so relevant in the age of #LLMs is that it captures both sides of the story: the extraordinary power unlocked by turning #language and #knowledge into infrastructure, and the unease that comes with concentrating that power.
I explore those parallels here: https://benjaminhan.net/posts/20260417-babel-llm-comparison/

@Tamasg @mckensie Maybe I am too naive, but in a perfect world, we should already get going an #openSource #linguistic project to document phonemes for every language on earth in human readable and also computer readable language. That extensible library then can be adapted to any TTS we are building. Our worry will be then in tuning the voice and way of emphasizing certain words and phrases.

Another day, another techno-babble manifesto about #AI #sovereignty 🤖🇮🇳, because nothing says #independence like insisting on #outdated #hardware and linguistically-challenged models. Who wouldn't want a brand new, shiny black box to proudly ignore 22 languages simultaneously? 🎉

Today's #linguistic excursion is brought to you by Asianometry's video on the 45nm lithography process: The chinese idiom
亂七八糟 (luànqībāzāo)
- literally: unrest, 7, 8, another kind of unrest
- translated as "everything in disorder", or with the english idiom "at sixes and sevens"The historic speakers of chinese and english had sort of the same idea here, but ended up with slightly different numbers!

Hype for the Future 94B: Syllables Required to Pronounce Letters in the English Language
Disclaimer While the American English pronunciation of the letter Z is “zee” and the Commonwealth pronunciation is “zed,” either name can be pronounced in the same number of syllables. Therefore, the syllable counts should remain consistent across distinct varieties of the global language. Introduction While many letters can be pronounced in one or a few syllables, words containing such letters could also be pronounced in fewer syllables than the letters themselves in select […] -

#FlashbackFriday
Autumn 2021.
Warming up & chatting with #HereditaryChief Sonny Wallas (David Hanuse), Chief Ye-kue-klas of [Gwat’sinuxw (Quatsino)] nation.
He was sharing with me about feeling bullied/outnumbered by band council folks who are dishonouring their ancestors/betraying Creator & his work with culture & language preservation.Wallas’s great-grandfather was James Wallas—coauthor of #Kwakiutl Legends. He was the former hereditary Chief of the Quatsino #FirstNation of the Northern #VancouverIsland #Kwakiutl.

I've noticed a #linguistic oddity that bugs me, mostly since I'm seeing it in ads, not hearing it used by real people.
In my dialect, "shop" can be a noun, a place where you can buy things. It can also be an intransitive verb, i.e. one that takes no direct object.
"What are you doing?" "Shopping"
If you want to buy a particular thing, you're shopping FOR it, not shopping it, because shop doesn't take a direct object.
But I'm seeing ads urging me to "shop" various products. Incoherent.

Our new bibliometric study reveals how a tiny typographic error, confusing the German Eszett (ß) with the Greek beta (β), has created hundreds of false positives like ß-catenin and ß-glucuronidase in major databases:
:doi: https://doi.org/10.1108/JD-08-2025-0222
Even leading journals weren’t immune. The paper highlights how small linguistic mistakes can undermine metadata quality and scientific search precision.

Number #two has a very interesting #etymology: Despite the differences between two, #dva #doi and #zwei, they come from the same Proto-Indo-European root: dwóh₁.

This is fascinating!I've been studying #Czech, which shares a ton of #phonemes and #vocabulary with other #Slavic languages, but is written with a Latin-based character set (I say "Latin-based" because Czech uses an assortment of #diacritic marks as #pronunciation modifiers on an otherwise standard #Latin character set).
On several occasions, I've come across a #Russian or #Ukrainian word written in its native #Cyrillic script followed by a #phonetic pronunciation guide written in Latin characters, and consequently recognized the word as one that is shared with Czech. Those moments of recognition are just pure #linguistic glee.
