International Party! (a thread for lovers of languages)
MR is an international forum. With its membership constantly growing, I'm hoping more and more languages are represented here. Speaking for myself, I would love to learn each and every language of the world if I had the time and energy. As I don't, I think it would be fun to present our languages in this thread. Our native languages, or others we speak or try to learn. Anything language-related, anything at all, is welcome.
Want to show off your alphabet?
Does your language have a word that has no equivalent in (most) other languages?
Does your language have a word, or words, that the whole world is using?
Want to share common blunders learners of your language are making?
Do you have an expression in your language that you find unique, or maybe surprisingly common?
Do you have words that sound the same as in other languages, but mean something completely different?
Anything at all is welcome! Maybe we can't learn all available languages, but at least we can share some interesting tidbits and celebrate our uniqueness!
