#hyperpolyglot

[milaisreading]

"This hyperpolyglot speaks 46 languages! Shocking!"

And it's them speaking every language besides their mother tongue in the least comprehensive, cohesive way imaginable, and a native speaker wouldn't be able to understand them saying shit

[scholarofgloom]

This is Roman Catholic Cardinal Giuseppe Mezzofanti (1774-1849), historically notable for having been fluent in at least 29 languages, and possibly more.

[breezingby]

"Polyglot" ~ A person who can speak several languages. "Hyperpolyglot" ~ People who, by on expert's definition, can speak 11 languages or More…! The higher the number, the rarer the person.

[salvadorbonaparte]

when I was a teen and first getting more seriously interested in languages and linguistics I encountered those polyglot YouTube videos where people speak all the languages they know and I was so impressed and jealous and wanted to be able to make a video like that too. Now, there are three problems with that: I ended up spending the last couple years specializing in other things, I'm more of a dabbler, and a lot (not all) of these videos are dishonest.

So obviously, as a first video on my imaginary YouTube channel, I'd make a video where I introduce myself in every language I can introduce myself in - even if that's the only thing I can do in that language - and then do a very honest and transparent commentary. How I had to go through my past notes and script this video. How much I actually know in each language. I wouldn't want it to be a video exposing the fakes (languagejones has already done two brilliant videos about this). I want it to be a defense of dabbling, of messy progress, of just having fun with languages without having to pretend you're some genius hyperpolyglot.

transhyperpolyglot - someone who was not born as/is not externally a hyperpolyglot but internally is, desires to be, or feels like they should be

(pictured: me frothing at the mouth)

she’s absolutely nowhere near fleshed out right now but yeah!

as i said in the other ask, her names dahlia liljeström, goes by doll. she’s a hyperpolyglot who speaks over 10 languages fluently and several more at a conversational level. her official role in the military is as a translator, but her actual job involves more of a… covert infiltration type deal if you get my drift.

she’s swedish but has been living in the uk since she was a teen, and unless you know her last name, your only know she was swedish if she told you.

also shes obsessed with dookies co (@faustic-trobairitz’s character, lara silver aka st)

she doesn’t exactly suck as a person the way dookie does but she is kind of obnoxious to be around when she’s not working tbh

[real-total-drama-takes]

If they make a farmer character who isn’t either stupid or unhygienic I’ll pass away I need it please please please 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Also very very quick thing. Ezekiel is a hyperpolyglot he knows 8 languages fluently. He knows how to speak he’s just not good at navigating social situations guys stop making him stupid stop it

studies in order of highest interest to least include: linguistics, philosophy, political sciences, herpetology, and encephalopathy respectively (do not ask me about kinesics or hippology. IMMEDIATE lifetime dungeon sentence)

DNI: minors, people with shit beliefs and asshole personalities. guessing you'd know where you stand, but in case you don't i just block 🙏🏽

trilingual (eng/español/na’vi), but if you catch me replacing words for russian, portuguese, kichwa, or arabic, that's that in-progress hyperpolyglot dawg in me. and whether the avatar conlang does or does not count is not up for debate it is as complex as any language

on that note, i borrow a lot of vocabulary from arabic/ use Islamic sayings; please note that i am not Muslim. much respect for the community though as always

on the spectrum, so you'll frequently catch me being dense to sarcasm, just here to apologize in advance (tone tags appreciated but not necessary)

very disconnected from social media; as in, i have not even youtube (idk i deleted it a while ago and just use the site sometimes) and don't consume a bunch of what would be "common" media. however you can reach me on https://guns.lol/xeinth this right here (my discord)

soft, hard, service, i don't really care, whatever dom pleases the tboy. cis women + tgirls, please treat me like a nasty fucking mutt. faggots in general i promise you the geldings make good steeds (iykyk). as for cis men, yall chill n stuff but unless i reblog your stuff with debauchery in the tags, don't speak to me sexually 👍🏽 (once i do so though, it really is full permission!)

as for my DM's, i highly welcome linguistic talk and any exchange of nudes cuz :3 (t4t only). unsolicited tdick and gock yes PLEASE! bit of an attention whore as well, how could i not be. be a freak and send me perverted shit pls and thank you

hard limits: detrans, vore, scat, fauxcest, DDLG/ ageplay, feedism, pregnancy, sissification

not exactly a kink, but i prefer dominating men + subbing for women, and i mean highly prefer. not saying that i don't allow any sort of dynamics outside of that, but at times i find it awkward letting men dominate me.

[transmascpetewentz]

i want to write more posts in hebrew to show off my hyperpolyglot skills, but idk what to write about.

[mehilaiselokuva]

If you learned Russian first then Finnish you would be Russian to Finnish

My hyperpolyglot era would have started early, I think I'd have mastered all the languages in the world at this point with this method!!!!!!

I love these asks

[artificial-hope]

Yknow given that he’s a hyperpolyglot at 16 it’d make a lot of sense for Ezekiel to have a more advanced vocabulary than some of his castmates because clearly he has a very good grasp on the technicalities of language but I GUESS he can sound like a stupid rednecked hick in fanfiction. For the stereotype I GUESS.

(This is sarcasm)

INTRO

I'm Ronik, and I have chronic depression that makes me quit and start learning the same three languages in a cyclical manner like Sisyphus rolling a boulder up a hill. Languages are my special interest and make happy and warm inside and I should probably get tested for neurodivergences. etc etc.

My other blogs are @jorisjurgen (main blog) @kerubimcrepin (fandom archive and article blog) and @atchamcrepin (art/music blog)

I am a native russian speaker and I learned english by reading yaoi and now I'm in university for linguistics. NEVER quit being a fujoshi. Feel free to praise me for how good my english is <33 like I'm well informed but you could worship me some more.

My main priority is studying chinese because it's my second... "major" (i say as if I understand the american education system) and my future life quality depends on me speaking it. Also I love han characters.

My secondary priority is japanese because I have an unhealthy and borderline erotic interest in han characters + japanese fans understand my blorbos the best.

French is my last priority and i dabble in it occasionally due to fandom & Gaming reasons. And also because my other special interest is a french show.

NATIVE SPEAKERS = A SPECTRUM WITH MANY POSSIBLE DEFINITIONS AND NOT NECESSARILY BETTER TEACHERS OF THE LANGUAGE. YOUTUBE HYPERPOLYGLOTS = FAKE ASS BITCHES. IF YOU USE FLAGS TO REPRESENT LANGUAGES I WILL BEAT YOU TO DEATH!!!!!! AND YES, I HATE DUOLINGO (DESPITE STILL USING IT BECAUSE GUILT WORKS ON ME + I NEED A GOOD REMINDER TO STUDY + THERE ARE FRIENDS IN MY PHONE)

if i showed you my notebooks youd retch. slenderman's eight pages are real and im their top producer in every language

Barou is hyperpolyglot, meaning he's fluent in more than six languages. Not including his first language (Japanese), he's most fluent in other East Asian dialects such as Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese, with a little Minnan), Korean, Thai, Mongolian, and Tagalog. He's also fluent in English and French. However, he also knows at least some Spanish, German, and Russian to impress someone and keep up a conversation. He acts nonchalant about it, and kind of is, however he can't help but get slightly prideful whenever people act so shocked. He's in the process of learning about more about Swahili as well. He's also a linguistics nerd.

[cleverwordsandotherstuffilike]

Hyperpolyglot (a person who can speak more than 11 languages) Vaughn Smith, who works as a carpet cleaner, speaks eight languages fluently, twenty-four well enough to carry on an in-depth conversation and various others to varying degrees. I think his amazing skills could be put to much better use.

[I'm sorry I've never been to China.] - Cameron Quan Louie

I'm sorry I've never been to China. I said this to a man I met after a lecture. He was a true hyperpolyglot. He said beautiful things to me in French, then Arabic, English, Spanish, Mandarin. He drank beer and I took little sips of each description of the places I'd honestly made no sincere effort to visit. What I assume are the clouds above the mountains in Canton. The smell of tea leaves roasting in a wok. I think he took offense at how little I understood, despite the pains he'd taken to learn to communicate. I took offense at the way he spoke to himself through me, though I, too, love to sing a little louder in the shower if I know someone's listening in the next room. And we knew that we would never see each other again, and it is meaningless to apologize to all the people you never finish revealing yourself to.
