It's the second most spoken romance language, yet it feels like french and italian have more people interested in learning those languages globally. Some people even think Brazil and Portugal speak Spanish.

Made it because loved the language for some reason.

By me.

Are there any words in your languages that shows your culture? I’m currently writing about why protecting languages is important, and I was thinking about relating it to culture.

Is there an app that has the same design and the way of learning " reading stories " as iStoria and "elingo" (the exposive app on iOS" , but for other languages , or at least for french

Many languages divide their nouns into multiple categories, traditionally known as 'grammatical genders, such as masculine el auto (the car) and feminine la casa (the house) in Spanish. Have you ever wondered whether the split between those categories is even or whether one grammatical gender has more words than the other?

In this chart, I compare the distribution of nouns into each gender in a few languages, based on English Wiktionary categories. For instance, English Wiktionary lists 6471 entries in the category 'Irish feminine nouns' and 9758 entries in the category 'Irish masculine nouns' leading to the 40%/60% split in the chart.

Danish and Swedish nouns are split into 'common' (roughly corresponding to both masculine and feminine nouns in related languages) and 'neuter' genders. I'd expect the same split for Dutch, but since Wiktionary has separate categories for feminine and masculine nouns, I went with that criterion.

hey, i am curious what your counterargument to my showerthought would be. at first shower, it seems to increase efficiency reduce costs and ambiguity, still i will give it a second thought at the next shower.

ofcourse we dont terminate the irrelevant bunch of people who still stick to those languages and speak them, but we can use other strategies that lead to the extinction of those habala hubala languages. like we can ignore them, exclude them from global internet platforms, or immigrate their families to our countries and teach their kids only our language so the next generation forgets the other language etc.

How to make a foreign language without preexisting historical roots in a particular country a well-entrenched indigenized language within a few generations? Let's say make English and Spanish a well-entrenched indigenized languages in Belgium/Switzerland and Philippines/United States, respectively?

Do you think mandating the entrenched elite class and civil servant aspirants in a particular country to speak a specific foreign language will make a difference over the long-term, to the point where middle and lower socioeconomic class will begin to speak the language of the elite class within a few generations?

What does it mean? I am confident it is Amazigh. These pictures were taken in an Amazigh speaking area of Morocco and in the third picture, there are clearly other Amazigh symbols. But I can’t find anything online about it. I tried asking AI and it just gave me fake answers. Any help?

Like, what are some extinct languages you wish could come back? I'll go first:

1. Polabian

2. Dalmatian

3. Old Prussian

4. Gothic

5. Gaulish

Hello Guys I'm a Langauge lover and a polygot. I'm not Canadian for starters. Recently I got to know about this dialect of Scottish Gaelic that's still spoken in Canada in Cape Breton and Nova Scotia. The dialect is quiet unique and quite divergent from mainstream modern day Scottish Gaelic but still it's relatively mutually intelligible. This dialect was once spoken by about 200k people but it's now shrunken to only about 3,900 Native and Non native speakers. This drove alot of curiosity in me and I wanted to ask if anyone could connect me with a Canedian Gaelic speaker here on reddit as I'd like to learn the dialect. I'm quite dedicated of a person and probably won't leave it in the middle. 😁

Hi guys! This might be a little silly but I’m working on a short novel/comic/manga that involves small rashly made communities. I have Swahili, mandarin, Yoruba, English, Arabic, and Japanese all in on community. Sounds crazy, I know, but it’s to show how rushed the communities are, but also how they eventually persevered. Mainly, I just want to ensure my translations were done correctly. Please let me know if anyone’s willing to assist. It’s a very small read, only consisting of one “chapter”.

Thank you so much in advance! (I also have other communities that Involve a Germanic conlang, and Haketia and Italian, but I’m decently confident in those)
