Co-official and non-official languages of the Spanish state.
I was, what? WTF is that little island of Basque language in Segovia??
And I was today years old when I learnt about gacería or briquero, a language spoken by ~500 people as a first language, and ~5000 passive speakers (they can understand it but can't speak it).
Gacería was born around the 12th-13th centuries among cattle merchants as a code language for their businesses, and though it follows the Spanish pronunciation and grammar, it has influences of literally everyone in the Iberian peninsula at that time: - Old Spanish - French - Arabic - Caló (Iberian Roma people's language) - Galician and Basque, due to Galician and Navarrese people leaving their homelands to repopulate the area after the Reconquista.
Some examples of Basque words in gacería: artón = arto = bread gazo = gaizto = bad motillón = mutil, motel = young man muy = mihi = tongue ura = ura = water urdaya = urdaia = pork, meat

I am supposed to be working. Am I instead thinking about Hozier's new unreleased song "Butchered Tongue" that's about British Colonisalism in Ireland which in turn made me think about the Revolution of 1798 which then made me think of the potato famine which then made me think about the exodus of native Irish Gaeilge speakers which then made me think about my own heritage language and how I don't speak it at all because of how Franco suppressed anything that wasn't Castellano and now I don't know where I was at work anymore?
Yes.

Langblr Reactivation Challenge
Week 1
Day 3: Create a list or a Mindmap of vocabulary topics. Start with a broad topic and narrow down to more specific topics. An example could be bedroom - furniture - closet - clothes or travelling - languages - study words - school supplies. Keep a hold of this because you'll use it later to create vocab to study. Some broad topics to start with: house, school, work, travelling, friends and family, nature, city. Feel free to use these or think of your own. Share your mindmap so others can get some ideas if they need it.
Tumblr media
I'll use this map for Basque and Spanish, but for Spanish I'll only make the more advanced vocab lists

Comparteixo aquesta il·lustració que he vist a l'Instagram perquè m'ha agradat molt 💙 (tot i que hi hagi un error amb l'escut que utilitza pel català)
Enllaç al compte de l'il·lustrador lleonès Don Recaredo, que té moltes obres sobre la cultura lleonesa i en estil medieval.

Spain just asked to adopt Basque, Catalan and Galician as official languages of the EU
The Government seeks to include the other languages that are official in the State of Spain, apart from Spanish, in the language regime of the European Union.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jose Manuel Albares, has officially requested today [Aug. 17 2023] on behalf of the Spanish Government, the inclusion of Basque, Catalan and Galician in the language regime of the European Union.
The minister has asked to change Regulation 1, which regulates the EU's language system, so that "the other languages that have an official statute besides Spanish" are also official in the European Union.
"Spain speaks Spanish, but also Catalan, Basque and Galician, and it is our duty to guarantee spaces to represent, use and learn about these languages," said Pedro Sanchez, acting president of Spain.

Let's not get our hopes high: the EU has to accept this request UNANIMOUSLY, so we gotta wait 🤞.

We took a break from studying and played some Alakazum! It's amazing to be able to play in Basque. If one (or all) of your target languages is(/are) Basque, Catalan, Galician, or(/and) Spanish, you can play in all of them! I chose to play in Basque and my friend chose to play in Catalan.
