@Bjorn - MD In a decent country, we'd protect these people's future so they can endure or grow.
Every random splinter of native tribes get land and linguistic preservation funding.

It is simultaneously whitepilling to see these little ethnies are extant and blackpilling because they are so fragile and will certainly go culturally extinct if this current order does not first

Agreed. I mean, I don't know about institutionalizing dialects in public schools and whatnot in order to perpetuate them indefinitely, but I think that freedom of association and mercantilist/protectionist/economic nationalist policies would go a long way toward making that a reality.

Yeah (about the fragility point) 😔

Members of my family have Baltimore accents to the highest degree, which has been harmed because of white flight

@Bjorn - MD I absolutely would fund rare language classes in their localities.

Maybe not make street signs, but things to keep it going.

For sure, and that's where subsidiarity comes it. They should be allowed to create the necessary laws and institutions at the appropriate level to make that a reality. Not terribly difficult to do. Lots of experience with it in Europe proper already.

My grandfather had a sort of half way American half way Stockholm accent

By way of being second generation

I'd even be cool with bilingual street signs, provided none is in any dialect of Spanish, and English is always on top and larger.

Spanish is kind of a weird thing

My Grandma has a mix of a New Jersey and western Norwegian accent, kinda funny

Ostensibly a European language, but it just does not have that connotation here anymore

Right, the context is that Spanish is linguistic warfare

My grandma had a weird mix of an English West-Country and a Massachusetts accent, my other grandma still has an extreme Jawjuh accent

@ophiuchus French is majority African, or will be soon.

My parents have virtually no accent and I definitely don't. Kinda disappointing.

Montreal was passed by Kinshasa as the second largest francophone city recently iirc

Yeah. I mean, Spaniards are obviously European, and after the initial moratorium, if we decide to make immigration a thing again, then they could be eligible, but the situation between us and Latin America is such that there can be no compromise on linguistic intrusion.

Meh. If you call what the Congolese speak French.

That's fair. Anything that has a proper Spanish root for a name was absorbed into English by now anyway. Santa Fe, etc.

Mass media destroys accents

Everyone under 30 sounds like they're from Burbank now

If we make immigration a thing again it should be understood for the sake of cohesion and civilizational self confidence that we speak English and our core culture is English-derived

Canada almost joined the union in the 1800s

@NateDahl76 That's definitely true. We hardly even speak dialects anymore; just Broadcast English in varying accents...

WASP culture is American Culture - Queen Ann

What a superpower we would be...

The Canadian provinces still have a standing invitation to join the union, and thus do not need the approval of congress to join. Fun fact.

@ophiuchus White Anglo-Saxon Pagan? <:varg:359010745192808449>

If the Pig War had popped off, Alaska would have perhaps be connected via Yukon and British Columbia.

Huh. Never knew that (about the standing invitation for the provinces to join).

Didn’t we try to invade them twice

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN The area my grandparents are from in Poland has street signs in the original native language

Also had a “war plan red” in the 30’s

@NateDahl76 Yep. 1775 and 1814.

Yeah we did

Yeah, I read about that (War Plan Red), too.

Muh plains of abraham

Quebec is kind of not really a part of our cultural continuum (as strongly obviously)
