I found out about this cool ass creole language developed in Canada that's a mixture of Cree/Ojibwe/Scottish Gaelic/English (developed where theres a bunch of Métis people, of course) & it's cool seeing the influences of Cree

Second time in about 48 hours that I have gone into the search mines to bring out a specific pride flag for my blog only to be met with either long or thoughtless posts about how x flag is the most inferior or y flag is the most superior while shitting on other flag designs. Like, I am all for making as many flags as you want — the more the merrier no monopolies here. I would just like for people to keep in mind:
Which communities (including geographical and cultural!!!) specific flags come from and why they were created.
You do not need to be represented by every single stripe for the flag to be applicable to you.
If a flag is featuring a specific identity there's probably a reason for that, I don't care if it's ugly.
Please cite sources and inspiration! Flags represent communities and usually come from community involvement and influence.
Seriously unless a flag was made purposefully to demean or alienate others it's probably fine. You don't have to use it or prefer it and you can be annoyed with it but it doesn't mean it's the end of the world.

i know you have a lot coming up for clanmew day, but i was wondering if clanmew has any other "archaic" words that aren't really used anymore? i know 'kurrnia' is one, and it would be interesting if older spirits - such as, idk, cloudberry and ryewhisker are on my mind cause of the darkstripe posting - have a bit of a language barrier communicating with younger cats because of the language changing overtime
Darkstripe: "...................what... what was that dish you just suggested?"
Cloudberry: "Blanc desire. Milke of alemaundes, flour of rys, braun of chapoun, gyngere itried, sucre, hwit wyn; vchon of þoes schulen boillen in clene possenet, & soþþen idon in þe vessel hwaryn hit schal beon imad, in a stude wyþouten vulþe; & poume gernet to strey3en abouen."
Cloud and Rye definitely have an odd cadence, their native tongue is actually early Clanmew. It's a pidgin between Parkmew and Old Tribemew, actively evolving into a creole language. They might have been some of the first cats to grow up with it as their first language!
But they're also the greeters of all new cats, and easily some of the most social spirits in the Place of No Stars. They've been speaking Clanmew AS it evolved. So they probably have a few odd phrases and archaic words, but not as extreme as Middle English Cloudberry up there lmao.
Archaic words that I can think of;
Kurrnia = Honor Child, like you brought up.
Oowe = King. The ruler of the River Kingdom.
Kekaba-weeg = An unfortunate accident or a horse-drawn carriage. References the death of Gray Wing the Wise.
Ssuiche = Homestead. A sub-territory owned by a family, pledging allegiance to the Wind Coalition or River Kingdom.
Bpon = Mountain, as opposed to Kroob, hill, which is still in use. Become the rootword of "boulder," which influenced "stone."

boy do i love long ass suffixes
and im talking long
like two-to-three syllables just to encode the past tense in an agglutinative language where person, number, aspect, and evidentiality are marked on the verb as well and take up equally as much space
give me that word thats more affixes than rootword

Been practicing a little bit more with Tagalog, texting people. I’m using google translate to learn the rootwords, but I’m also making sure I actually type in the Tagalog and when I’m texting back, so I’m not just c&ping and that way I’m learning the spelling and taking it in more.
I’ve been listening to this podcast while walking to/from work and the mask is helping cover when I’m repeating the phrases, ahah. Yeah, just listening and trying to speak made it really clear I have more listening and writing understanding, but very little practice in speaking, which was kind of my main goal for learning. 8′)

Ang rootword po ba ng diligent ay dilig? Asking for a friend.

CGDCT just describes the genre, so it is kinda surprising. But at the same time I can see the haters using it. I mean, the term is long and kinda sucks. I just use it 'cause either everyone knows it, or it's descriptive and doesn't need further explanation. Personally, I think kirara-kei is a nice alternative for that term.
Moeblob (and the rootword moe to some extent) are the terms haters use more. Moeblob means "cute and substanceless," which is why I'm not a fan of these terms. I like some "moe" anime and characters, so I'm a bit biased. But I can see why it's used sometimes, as I find some CGDCT to be boring.
Now, I do wish there's a term for anime like Yuru Yuri. Perhaps it's slapstick CGCDT/kirara-kei with yuri overtones. But too long.

How many Spanish root words are there in Tagálog?
According to Rodolfo Barón’s “Hispanismos en el Tagalo” published in 1972, out of 30,000 Tagálog rootwords, 10,000 are of Spanish origin. That’s ⅓, with ⅔ being shared by other languages (Malayo-Polynesian, Chinese, etc.). Clearly, without Spanish, Tagálog is CRIPPLED. Tapos sasabihin ng ibá, “Spanish lang iyán, ‘di na iyán importante sa atin”. Take note that these are just root words that I am…

Salió Rewired, el nuevo álbum de @dubmatix
"El concepto del título de ReWired se trata no solo de volver a cablear mi estudio para cada álbum, usar diferentes equipos, reorganizar y siempre tener que volver a cablear todo a medida que terminas con cables que se conectan a nada colgando en todas partes.

Cuenta con feats de Lone Ranger, Sr Wilson, Lasai, Duane Stephenson, Ras Kayleb, Jman, Hempolics, Joe Publik, Kazam Davis and Exile Di Brave, Rootwords y Barry Ashworth.
El compositor, productor, multiinstrumentista y siete veces ganador y nominado al Premio JUNO canadiense Jesse E. King alias #Dubmatix , es oriundo de Toronto, pero se ha labrado un gran número de seguidores en el escenario internacional.
Es una máquina de grabación, desde su lanzamiento debut Champion Sound Clash en 2004, Dubmatix, nacido en Toronto, ha producido y grabado más de 500 lanzamientos (álbumes, EP, dubs, remixes)
Con más de 20 años de trayectoria Dubmatix ha colaborado con infinidad de artistas. Se destacan en su discografía los discos "The French Sessions" (2015)y "Overdubbed" (2018) junto a los legendarios Sly & Robbie.

They say capitalism allowed for greater social mobility and less aristocratic rule. Do you think capitalism is net good or net bad?
