Thanks❤ Always loved your content. It helps me experience the world and people I may never meet in a meaningful way. It has taught me to appreciate and gain interest in others too... Please do more African language groups if you can, and at a convenient time for you so that people can experience what I do every time I get insight into a culture through their language.

Not related, but I want to tell you the rules of number building in my conlang, Dayashni. Names of fractions are built by cleverly agglutinating number names. There are suffixes for various powers of ten. Numbers are built by combining fractions with the power of ten suffixes. 15 is "one-fifth + power of ten," 153 is "fifteen-thirds + power of 100," 1537 is "fifteen thirty-sevenths + power of 1000," 2719 is "twenty seven -nineteenths + power of 1000." Now, here's where things get tricky. 1,275,815 is "one + power of 1,000,000; twenty-seven fifths, power of 100,000; eighty-one fifths, power of 100." This system has led to shorter names for long numbers.

A video about seasons in different languages would be nice. Learning Japanese and Ainu at the moment.

can't lie I'm pretty surprised at the amount of individuals commenting on this post, on a linguistics channel, linguistics being a subsect of anthropology, the study of humans and culture, a field that literally exists to analyze our ways of living and has evolved into jobs aiding officials and leaders on these specific current issues.... ....and, as subscribers to said channel.... were somehow blind-sided by a post that shares linguistic information by other sources related to current events?? Huh? I think this show of a desire to step aside for other people to speak for their own cultures is a great example of the modern push in the field to make sure that history is preserved not just by academics. It’s a really great list! Thank you for sharing, and everyone stay safe!

How would you change the current English alphabet to match current spoken English? American vs English??

Virtue! Seriously though, this is an impressive and interesting collection of resources. Ignore the people giving you a hard time. They’re just overreacting from woke propaganda fatigue.

During this moment, here are voices sharing African and African diaspora linguistics. May this counter silence and hostility but not distract from the struggle️. Stay safe, be well. docs.google.com/document/d/1gbsoD71MNajMJFncLzZjz4…
