what happens when you change your web standards to be only english-speaker inclusive

sometimes language families fuck me up a bit. like hi we used to sit around the same fire and we saw the same birds flying south and our children climbed in the same trees but then we parted ways and now we might not understand each other at all but maybe we can still recognize each others words for the moon.

Supersons in their DCeased look, hanging out on a ledge prompt for DC Gotcha for Gaza (requests now closed)! I finally got a chance to draw Damian and Jon together! We call that a win, fellas

in proto-indo-european there were three different consonants that are reconstructed as voiceless dorsal stops (k-ish sounds). one of them is reflected as [k] in most descendant branches, one of them is sometimes [k] but sometimes a sibilant, and the other one is commonly reflected as a rounded consonant like [kʷ].

and what messes me up is how it Almost makes perfect sense to transcribe these as *k, *c, and *q (respectively), using the three letters the latin alphabet already has for k-like sounds. but you can't do that because there aren't enough g-like letters to use for all the voiced and breathy voiced counterparts to these consonants. it's so unfair

thinking about how people kept saying that chil and senshi are the dads of the touden party so i put them both in a sarung

Sí, oui, òc!

Italian sì, Spanish sí, Portuguese sim and many more Romance words for 'yes' come from Latin sīc, which meant 'so; thus; like that'. In Popular Latin it got an extra meaning: 'yes', born out of the sense 'like that', i.e. 'like you said'.

French oui has a completely different origin. It comes from Old French oïl, a univerbation of o il, literally 'yes, it (is/does/has etc.)'.

O stemmed from Latin hoc (this), which became òc (yes) in Occitan, a group of languages whose name was derived from this very word.

sanghis are so funny. “hindus need to stand up for tibet because they are our dharmic brothers and sisters” hindus should stand up for tibet because imperialism is bad.

I want you to know that your art is very important to me, and I'm very invested in all of the characters I have seen from you. Also, the discussion about Finnish and other languages having gendered words or not has been the last little push to get me to start learning Finnish which I think is fun.

I'm making this a little compilation post of all the language asks I got. Thank you for sharing, this was genuinely really interesting!

Indo-Europeans be like what do you mean you can't conjugate this verb? It's a regular i-stem verb of the ua subclass of the eu sub-sub class of the ye sub-sub-subclass that nazalizes, palatalizes, and undergoes anywhere from 17 to 30 different forms of umlaut simultaneously depending on what conjugation you're using and gets replaced with a completely different verb when it's passivized!
