Why Norwegian?
Danish is a nightmare to pronounce, written danish basically is written Norwegian, it’s said to be “in between” Danish and Swedish
@Jacob There are things that Russia still has classified, however. 95% or more of all German art taken during the war has never turned up since then.
My great grandmother was Danish. It does not sound like a human language
@The Eternal Anglo I mean I'm sure that if something was a security threat they didn't release it, however, the Soviet archives were released with the unsavory stuff intact
you'd think if there was a targeted extermination campaign against Ukrainians we'd have at least *one* document ordering it
If you specifically want either Danish or Swedish, I’d say Swedish
Seriously, Danish is rough to understand for other Scandinavians even. Spoken Danish, that is. They’re all quite similar when written.
Icelandic being a huge exception of course. Its isolation afforded it extremely conservative grammar and pronunciation.
People learning Old Norse are told to just pronounce it like Icelandic
@Evan I'm actually curious what sources you read. You can DM them if you wanna interrupt their language conversation.
👌
@Jacob makes sense. I'd be careful still. I like to find personal records from soldiers or people specifically from the region of interest to find more about something in-depth. Old soldier reports about what they saw in Ukraine during the Russian invasion is heart wrenching
My grandma was actually a teenager / young adult during World War II so I've heard some personal accounts
@Jacob Oh here is the Soviet consensus during the holodomor btw
dude
literally no one is denying that people died during that period
What does that mean?
it means nothing lmao
just that people died during the Holodomor
@ophiuchus Is Norwegian easier?
@Jacob so I am assuming that the Soviets are the left side of the graph?
the graph doesn't say which side is what
wait aren't the two sides on these pyramids usually representative of gender?
Yes
That's what I thought ^^
Also look at my new based and Nyanpilled pfp y'all 🤠
Okay so wamen on the left?
sorry right
its late here
I think so
wait couldn't this entire graph be explained by World War II?
Yeah this seems to explain very little
other than what we already know
You see a serious dip around late 30s to early 40s which explains combat deaths
It's the Ukrainian Soviet consensus, it translates "Sexual - age pyramid of the population of Ukraine in 1959"
Thank you
14 years after the war
And then a solid boom around the early 20s explaining the Soviet equivalent of the baby boomers
ya
