@rarity but tbh Hillary backers are just peeved because Russian meddling in American election worked this time
-
@rarity yeah. I was going to go into the four-in-three programme but I'm doing two for an Associate's. It would take the same amount of life I've lived to see what was my original goal.
-
@rarity Well any heavy profession which calls for a piece of paper proving you put in the time. Did you know to fly for major carriers you have to have a Bachelor's degree before they even look at you?
-
@rarity Unless your fancies take on forms that require a tonne of schooling of course
-
@rarity Yeah, I suppose, unless you mediate it somehow. At least I don't hate it like I hated cars, pretty much until very recently.
-
@rarity much like my liking of cars became burnt out by working in a garage so has my love of language taken a few steps back by translating more or less for a living.
-
@rarity True. I might have been thinking of Hindustani or Gujarat as the whole missing-link thing. That particular piece of Asia saw a flux of all sorts of cultures and their influence shows in different ways.
I haven't had linguistics talk in so long. I foget how fun it is. -
@rarity Urdu, even though relatively young in its evolution, serves more as a bridge between the links of Persian and Hindu (arguably Sanskrit's closest relative) in the greater Aryan languages. This is amongst a lot of other things however.
-
@rarity Truth be told I don't know how it evolved from Pars to Fars. Maybe because Arabic became the standard language for higher ups in Persia for a good long time.
-
@rarity Alternatively:
When they changed the name of their country to Iran, they really created a Fars. -
@rarity Well
Back in the old days you could say Iranians really parsied out their sentences -
@rarity yeah. I don't think I'd be using conversationalist Farsi would be easy here.
-
@rarity you know what, I'm not entirely sure. Maybe to talk with the cooks at my favourite Greek/middle Eastern restaurant? Also we might have more people from there than say, Morocco or Egypt.
