Interesting language fact of the day: #English "kowtow" /ˌkaʊˈtaʊ/ could, orthography-wise, be pronounced very closely to the current #MandarinChinese pronunciation of its origin word, 叩头 kou4tou4 [kʰoutʰou] (disregarding tone). Compare English "tow" v. 'to draw' with the US pronunciation /toʊ/.

Wow. "Obsolete #Occitan #loanwords of the #French language" is an amazing 1999 Canadian thesis.

I love how the logo of the recent Manila Spanish Film Festival organized by the #InstitutoCervantes leans into how #Tagalog has nearly ⅓ of its vocabulary coming from Spanish, including the key word “pelikula” from “película”. Even the other “film” loanword “sine” comes from “cine”. (Interestingly, the word “sinehan”, for “theater” or “movie house”, combines the Spanish loanword with the locative Tagalog suffix “-an”.)

One more for the list of somewhat patronising English loanwords;
"Palaver (custom), a form of local conflict resolution in different African countries"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palaver_(custom)
In NZ English, a palaver is anything that's overly complicated and time-consuming. If 19th century English aristocrats were put in a time machine and shown a modern Parliament, with all its consultation with the hoi polloi, they'd probably call that a palaver. In its original sense, they'd be bang on ; )

Arabic Loanwords in Hebrew
“The influence of Arabic, both spoken (in innumerable dialects, including those spoken by Jews) and written, took place in the mediaeval and modern periods of Hebrew; its vocabulary forms more than half of the Hebrew lexicon, according to the renowned dictionary of Abraham Even-Shoshan (Rosenstein, 1906–1984). The approximately 8,000 lexical items in the Bible are not sufficient to entirely meet the needs of either a written language or a spoken one.”
Shehadeh, H. (2011) “Arabic Loanwords in Hebrew”, Studia Orientalia Electronica, 111, pp. 327–344. Available at: https://journal.fi/store/article/view/9316 (Accessed: 25June2024).

“Four factors are found to be significant predictors of the position of primary stress: endings, word complexity, the segmental structure of the final syllable, and syllable count. Moreover, this study confirms previous observations on the tendency for American English to have more final stress in French loanwords than British English.”

Ghetto – A Venetian word
The Venetian ghetto is the first ghetto ever, at least with the name 'ghetto' because that word comes from the Venetian language.
It has, however, more to do with medieval arms production than with the Jewish population of Venice.

In a previous corpus-linguistic study (https://doi.org/10.1093/ijl/ecz033), we found that #neologisms built only with 'native' #language material are accepted faster into the German language than #loanwords from #English.
Back then, we operationalized 'acceptance into the language' by the amount of 'flagging' (use of linguistic markers, e.g. quotes or "so-called").

I am curious about the extent to which the Dutch colonization of Taiwan in the 17th century facilitated language contact and exchange, and how it influenced the presence of Dutch loanwords (or even syntactic similarities, and language structures) in contemporary regional Sinitic languages. Are there #Taiwanese people / folks living in #Taiwan here who know some Dutch loanwords in their language(s)?
