#German Romanian

[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

The "Americanization of the global internet" post and slow deterioration of local native culture gave me an idea: many users don't even know there is native language communities on this website, so if you know of a regional group/"subculture" on Tumblr, reblog/comment with the tags they use so people can find them and connect with other folks from their countries or speakers of a language they'd like to learn

I will try to update this post with every new addition to hopefully make a comprehensive list of Tumblr regional communities

Edit July 29th: the post has reached a point where Tumblr won't let me add any more links, so from now on all tags are plain text to make it fair

#obrození, #obrozujeme - memes and fandoms as well but with more emphasis of maintaining and developing Czech culture, is a mostly humorous parody/self-proclaimed continuation of the Czech National Revival of the 1800s, overlaps with #čumblr and #česky

Wool & lana

The word lana (wool) in languages such as Spanish is etymologically related to English wool. For words to be related, they don't have to look like each other. Instead, you have to be able to trace them back to the same ancestor through regular sound changes - and that's what linguists managed to do with wool and lana. The infographic shows the Germanic and Romance family trees of these words.

You are welcome to write them down or tag them too :) 🎧

(it's totally okay to add more languages first before voting 😂)

Cretin & Christian

The word cretin has the same origin as Christian: they both come from Latin Chrīstiānus. The meaning of cretin made quite a journey: 'Christian' > 'person' > 'simple person' > 'poor fellow' > 'person affected by Congenital hypothyroidism' > 'idiot'. Click the graphic for more.

A small headcanon that I had in my mind is that that the current generation of Belmonts nationality are romanian (because my brain wouldn't leave me alone as latin version of Julius' name is Iulius). I also want to believe that Julius knows romanian and he talked with Alucard in that language before his amnesia.

hi!!! just got to talk to my dad about the books of you were still were curious about it :) he confirmed they usually send him 5-20 books when a book comes out plus one or two for reprintings (depends on the publishers) and i guess that goes for translations too!

btw the spanish cover for dans book physically hurt me because they separated a single word in two lines without hypen or anything!!! i get its to keep the desing even but ahhggg as a graphic designer and spanish speaker hurts sorry for the ramble haha!!!

omgggggg, your pain is so valid! i would be pissed if they did the same with my language as well. they could literally just make the text smaller, right? anyway.

thank you so much for sharing 🙌 i want them to show us all the copies they have, including tabinof and dapgo, lol
