  1. The English word cow is related to other Germanic words: Icelandic kýr and Swedish ko. These words are also connected to a surprising group of words across other Indo‑European branches thought to derive from a common Proto‑Indo‑European root, *gʷṓws, for example Irish bó, Latvian govs, and Armenian  կով (kov).

  6. CW: idea about Canadian politics & language that has NOT been properly thought through

    Canada does the whole thing where it has two official languages, which is cool & all but like

    learning two languages seems like a mess, so what if we invented a new language that's so easy any citizen can learn it that we use for public announcements

    toki pona is cool in that I can speak a language pretty intermediately after ~3-4 months of learning, but it's obviously not geared towards talking about political issues.

    if this happens, we just change the problem from politicians being required to spend several years of their lives language learning to every single person who wants to engage with the government having to spend several months. I'm not sure how much better this idea is, and (as stated on the content warning) I have not fully developed this thought yet.

    To be clear to Esperantists: Your language is too difficult for this use case go away
    (like it'd be cool if everyone learned Esperanto, but what a time commitment that would be, eh?)

  12. Rice was first cultivated in the Far East as early as 10,000 years ago. From there, rice cultivation gradually spread westward. This movement is mirrored by the journey of the word for rice across languages. In English, the word rice comes from Old French ris, which was borrowed from Old Italian riso. That, in turn, derives from Byzantine Greek ὄρυζα (óruza).

  22. I don't want to tell that young American man what his name means in our culture, ignorance is bliss perhaps.

  27. There's a quote I've never thought to source because it always just seemed to be a thing in the ether - y'know?

    “None of you seem to understand. I’m not locked in here with you. You’re locked in here with me!”

    But apparently this can be traced back to a specific source, and that source is Watchman the original comic by Alan Moore. First published in 1986.

  32. In Japanese, R and L make the same sound. Because of this non-native speakers will usually hear the wrong sound. The speaker isn't mixing them up, they're just using a sound mid way between the two. New Mexican Spanish has something similar. Here B and V are the same. When I say bueno, someone who isn't from northern New Mexico hears vueno and when I say verde, they hear bherde. #NewMexico #Japan #Spanish #Japanese #lingustics
