Dictionaries be like: Instead of using the ipa we made this fake phonetic alphabet made up of esoteric runes. Please find a European with a wild beard to decipher them.

Brazilian texting slang

Here's a list of abbreviations that Brazilians use:

Kkkkkkkkk -hahahahaha

Fds -fim de semana -weekend OR -foda-se -fuck you/fuck this/screw this

Hj -hoje -today

tô /tá -estou/está -i am/he/she/it is

Vc/ce/cê -você -you

KEY:

The inspiration behind this post is a text my friend sent in a group chat: “Be ce ta na uni” meaning Bê, are you at uni (university)? I saw this and felt proud of how much Portuguese I’ve learnt because honestly it is a difficult language.

YOU ASKED.

Someone said they’d be happy to see my conlang. This is a VERY incomplete conlang of mine, but hey! I wanna share it! So enjoy!

Patriotism and Nationalism aren't the same thing.

Patriotism is fondness and pride for one's home or group. Nationalism is a political ideology that calls for the promotion of the nation's interests over other interests, particularly other nations.

You can be patriotic without being nationalist, like being proud of and rooting for your hometown or your school.

You can be nationalistic without being patriotic, like supporting the national ambitions of an ethnic group you have no personal connection to.

[PONEGLYPH FANLANG] Chapter 272's Stelle transcription and translation

Hello, back with the Poneglyph Fanlang!

After previously translating Roger's words on the Shandora Grand Bell, as seen here: [WIP] One Piece's Ancient Language (Poneglyph) Fanlang, I'm now attempting to translate another Poneglyph with a full translation. In the canon manga, only two Poneglyphs have full translations. This one is from Chapter 272, "Play," and was discovered by Robin.

If you're familiar with the Japanese language, you might notice that the sentence structure is identical to Japanese syntax (SOV). The basic language used is Old Egyptian, employing a triconsonantal root system similar to Arabic.

Here are some words you might recognize if you know Japanese:

okkaret = kokoro (heart)

enṓganopet = ogane (big bell)

You may notice that the same sound can be represented by completely different glyphs. This is because the Poneglyph uses a system somewhat akin to the Maya script and Rongorongo script, allowing different glyphs for the same sound for aesthetic reasons. Another reason for these complex sound-to-glyph correspondences is to make Poneglyphs difficult to read and decipher by the government.

But let me be honest, the main reason is that the Poneglyph is a gibberish-type of conlang. It seems like Oda didn't create a fully functional conlang for Poneglyph and may have scribbled-down the script. Or perhaps Oda used a cipher conlang? Who knows.

Currently gathering materials for a short edit but then caught this funny wordplay that i didn't catch on my first watch

Yong-jae you lil shit 😂 He's using Nan-gam's name as an apologetic pun by saying "난감하게 죄송함다" (nangamhage joesonghamda) and it's LITERALLY to express how awkward he feels even though he IS sorry... For embarrassing Nan-gam... In front of "the kid" (possible murder suspect).... lmao

Also high praise for the translator/interpreter to manipulate the pun into "Jang-ry" to get onboard with Yong-jae on making fun of this grumpy, awkward Jang Nan-gam sdkjsdfjhskdfhj 💀

People of tumblr, I have but one question for you:

How do you call on cats in your language(s)?

I’ll go first - čičičiči (though sometimes it blends into merely čččč) in Czech🇨🇿

Conlanger: technical, cringe, gives people actual information about what you do, "So you're like Tolkien?", only specific people know you're queer

Child of Babel: cool, mysterious, sinister, sounds like you're in a cult, what do you do? speak in tongues + do orgies probably, makes the right angry, "Do you worship Satan?", aura of gay homosex

History of @

Did you know that...

"The @ symbol, which we call "at" and which integrates the electronic address of any person on the planet, has its origin in Latin.

It appeared in the Middle Ages, when monks who copied texts and documents created symbols to replace letters, words and proper nouns, making their work easier. For instance, to replace the Latin word et, they created another symbol, interlacing the two letters: the ampersand (&).

Using the same interlacing resource, they replaced the Latin preposition ad (in house of) with the symbol @. Often used in accounting, the @ moved to the typewriter keyboard. And in 1972, American programmer Ray Tomlinson took advantage of the symbol to create the first electronic mail system."

!!! Hey, hey, vent ahead! With a genuine question, but still, a vent. Watch out !!!

So, question... you know how people react negatively to someone wanting to become an artist? Well, is it normal for people to have the same reaction to linguistics? Like, I thought it was a reasonably smart study... I mean come on! I've got a passion AND want to study for it! How's that a bad thing? Sure, it's harder because I'm an adult, plus I've got some stuff to figure out years beforehand, but still...

Are linguistics disliked for some reason? Are they considered "useless", like art? Why does no one seem happy that I've found a passion? Am I missing something?

Seriously, is something wrong with studying linguistics?

I will never not love how literal animal names are in my people's language.

Toad / Jirbaqa - jir (dirt) + baqá (frog). Dirtfrog

Turtle / Taşbaqa - taş (rock) + baqá (frog). Rockfrog

Ptarmigan / Qөrtlek - qөrt (snow pile). Snow pile thingie.

Pigeon / Qügәrçen - qügәr (to mold, to rust, to go dirty). Dirty boy 😭

Parrot / Tutı Qoş - totu (hold, catch) + qoş (bird). Held birb!

I love this language. It's so perfectly logical. It's also so cool. I'm getting better with it every day, my personal blog is now 100% in my language and I write in it a lot more confidently. 😼 Ancestors would be proud
