Some of @older 's recent Global Posts have been language related, which is great in the month (about to end...) that celebrates mother tongues. Here is one on Aramaic, annnnd (1/2) #languages #MotherTongues

Colombia has the most linguistic diversity of any country in South America, with 65 languages in 13 language families. Of those 65 languages some 51 are spoken in the Colombian Amazon. #MotherTongues #IndigenousLanguages #Colombia https://sinchi.org.co/sabias-que-la-mayor-diversidad-de-lenguas-esta-en-la-amazonia

"Luv 2 Liv" by the Toronto based psychedelic/dream pop outfit Mother Tongues is our #sotd. A bouncy, catchy tune that has a nice pep in its step with an old school guitar solo as the bonus.

Mother Tongues keep their hazy, floating feel and warm sound a constant whether it's the '60s psychedelia they mainlined earlier or the '90s dream pop sound they're grooving to now.

@rplk @chrisale
I understand this graphic as representing first languages, not second ones?

Modern means of communication facilitate the growth of certain #languages as ''international" (using 'natural' ones instead of artificial ones like Esperanto). But I can't see how #mothertongues would be affected by that.
