It's odd to me how China gets (rightfully) mocked so much for having the whole country share one timezone, but we don't extend the same treatment to continental Europe. Spain, France, and the Benelux countries are just blatantly in the wrong timezone.

On a related note, if you loved Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata and want to work on your Ancient Greek using the Italian Athenaze text, you can download it for free here: lib.undercaffeinated.xyz/get… PS: The link works and isn’t sketchy — I tested it.

¿How do languages written in the #Latinscript, that have case declensions for their nouns, capitalize proper nouns in their different cases?

Just realized that Hinduism in Southeast Asia is probably a good analog for what Near Eastern and Northwest European paganism would look like if the rise of monotheism didn’t put a stop to Hellenistic syncretism

Mozambique is such an unserious country because why do they have an open book crossed by a hoe and an AK-47 on their flag?

A few words in NIA languages insert unetymological r-s in anticipation of (historical) retroflexes. Hindi karōṛ ‘10⁷’ for **kōṛ < Skt. kōṭi- Punjabi tarkʰāṛ̃ ‘carpenter’ for **takkʰāṛ̃ < Skt. takṣāṇa- Bhadrawahi ḍ͡ḷʰukkʰ ‘hunger’ for **bʰukkʰ < Skt. bubʰukṣā

You'll love #Portuguese then; you need only remember Saturday & Sunday. Domingo "Sunday" Segunda-feira "Monday" (second fair) Terça-feira "Tuesday" (third ”) Quarta-feira "Wednesday" (fourth ”) Quinta-feira "Thursday" (fifth ”) Sexta-feira "Friday" (sixth ”) Sábado "Saturday"

🚨 Cool map alert: Placement of the Euro Symbol € in the European Union (from Reddit) It seems Belgium uses both €10,0 and 10,0 €. The former in Flanders and the latter in Wallonia.
