How do you know this shit man?

I try to teach myself everything about or beautiful land and culture

It's so fragile nowadays

It’s certainly in danger, yeah.

The growth of internationalism is strong you see

**thanks Merkel**

Goddamn it angelca

Weren't we discussing place names?

Yep.

Germany has lots of -tz at the end

Which is sorta the slavic suffix for places

Man, feels weird thinking about living in the Balkans and not being able to travel 300 miles without having to use another language.

Well

I mean look at the slovene nations

5 kms away a whole diffrent dialect with sepperate literature

The best comparisment you have for the slovenes is fucking what dutch is from bavarian

Especially coming from someone living far-inland in the US with no language barriers at all.

Like only 4 dialects apart

Well yeah

Sorta happens to elder languages

Well, your languages come from a time where travel wasn’t an efficient thing, so therefore the area which a language would be used in would be way smaller.

But american pioneers had it hard too?

Not nearly as much, really.

if you say so

There were no barriers in the original 13 Colonies because everyone was British or a slave who learned English.

I mean I can't understand floridese and bostonese if they talk too fast

The closes things to barriers we have are accents, but accents are accents so they don’t defer from ordinary English all that much.

Goddamn it english

In the Southeast there’s a lot of apostrophes not used anywhere else, like “y’all”.

You're the most widely spoken language but so little dialects

The only true dialects are from the isles

We all know the Southern redneck stereotypes, so I don’t need to go much more into that.

Welsh english, scottish english, irish english

Well yeah

I always say

Hard working people have little time to talk

So they shorten their speech

Same here

from "ali boš" into "al boš" or even worse! "auš"

you see from two words into one formation

I’m from Kentucky myself, a place smashed inbetween the North and the South. It has a bit of an identity crisis.
