A breakdown of apps you can use to communicate with your alters as separate people and write down information about them online and offline with their pros, cons, and a personal rating because I really needed it when I was new to being a system:

Note: by "PC" I mean any computer/macbook/etc. By "all devices" I mean PC, mobile, tablet, iPad, etc.

I apologize for mistakes in advance.

1. Antar: An app created to chat with your "inner self," found in both Play Store and AppStore. One of the more popular ones among systems. It is an app where you get to create personas that would be chatting with each other in chats called "sessions." Those sessions can either be given a name or just left named after the date they were created on. Each persona is given a color that would become the color of their messages in sessions. Offline app.

Pros: Fiarly easy to use, no in-depth information needed to access it fully. Biometric lock; 4 languages (English, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish) for the system, however any language can be used via text; no limit to the amount of personas added (as far as I'm aware). Messages sent by the wrong persona can be changed; the "quote" feature allows you to start a thread under a message; provides descriptions of each persona. You can also give your personas an avatar rather than just a color. Has a "replay" and "visualization" feature, though I'd say it's strictly just for funzies.

Cons: Not available on PC; has no backup, phone-related resets or deletion of the app results in all information lost. Session order constantly changes depending on which senssion you entered, which in my opinion (+OCD) is a nuisance; you can't delete the "me" character which I've been wanting to do for a while. Can't add hexcodes.

Personal rating: 6/10. If you need an app that you can lock from unwanted visitors, if you don't mind and even prefer something simple, and if you don't care that the conversations might disappear, this app is a good choice.

2. Discord's PluralKit: A more avdanced discord bot with tons of settings and commands that was created specifically for systems. Allows you to add almost any information about your system memebers, even such things as birthdays. The way it works is, it "proxies" your messages with a certain command somewhere in the "normal" message, sends a message identical to yours from a bot created with the name you chose, and deletes your original message. Basically replaces a message from your account with a message from a bot you created earlier. Proxies are small commands that give the both a green light to do that, and they can be whatever you want them to be. Online bot.

Pros: Feels like different people are talking; allows you to track your switches; available on all devices; one system can be linked to multiple accounts, although you can't create multiple systems under one account; allows you to group alters together; allows you to restrict access to certain information from all users; allows you to add as many alters as you want; has a number of ways you can access the information you put in which would all be sorted and organized for you; autoproxy allows you to not proxy every message you sent; since you can't delete messages of other people on servers that are not yours, and the bot messages are not, in fact, yours, PluralKit allows you to react to the message with an emoji that deletes the proxied message; while you can't use it in DMs, you can set up commands in DMs with the bot; every memeber has a unique code, and so does the system itself, and it records when the member was created; can be exported to SimplyPlural.

Cons: Commands are difficult and complex, and so is the dashboard; can only be used on servers; sometimes offline as all bots are, though rarely; you can't use it anywhere outside discord (a con for those who don't use discord); I had instances where I saw people use it for roleplay which is also allowed; proxies are a pain; you'd need a guide to tell you why certain things are needed in it; you cannot reply to messages with gifs when using a proxy; when being exported to SimplyPlural it exports everything, so if you had 10 members on SimplyPlural and 15 on PluralKit, it's best to add those 5 manually than delete 10 new exported alters (I did it with 100+ alters by accident and it was a pain).

Personal rating: 9/10. Complex, difficult to figure out, but once you get ahold of it and how it works, you'd be amazed. Also a pain that you can't use it in DMs, but it's to be expected from a bot. And you can always create a server with just you.

3. Discord's Tupperbox: A discord bot created mainly for roleplay, but actively used by systems who cannot get along with PluralKit. A simpler bot, easy to use and figure out, most things can be done via dashboard, doesn't have the opportunity to add a lot of inofrmation. Online bot.

Pros: Simple; allows grouping alters; allows different tags for different members and groups, sometimes individually; way simpler commands, and most things can be added via dashboard; looks and works almost the same as PluralKit when in a conversation; available on all devices.

Cons: Can't add avatars via dashboard, only using the commands; can't add two alters with the same name (which you can do with PluralKit); people reported it glitching out and deleting members; mainly used for roleplay; gives a weird list of members via commands that is unusable in my experience; doesn't work out of discord.

Personal rating: 7/10. Perfect for people who just want to talk and not write down information about them with the bot, but the threat of members being deleted, especially as a larger system, is concerning. We mainly use it for OSDD-1a subsystems. It was also not created for systems, as far as I'm aware. I see more cons than pros.

4. Simply Plural: Another more well-known tool used and created for systems. Simply Plural is an app that allows you to create profiles of your members and add any information you'd like about them via custom fields. It has a chat feature, allows you to track your front and switch history, add friends, and many more. Supports endogenic systems (which is being mentioned not for discorse purposes but as a fact. Whether you find it good or not is up to you) and allows singlets to create profiles as well, although I don't know a lot about that part. Both offline and online app.

Pros (and a bit about the app): Backup included; tracks your switches and front, allows you to change exact time for them, too (24-hour clock down to minutes included); the polls feature works like polls on same Tumblr and everywhere else but specifically for your system memebrs; analytics provide information about who fronts the most, during what time of day they usually front; you and your friends can see each other's profiles, which is why singlets can also create profiles, which allows you to acces info about each other's systems; "trusted people" feature allows you to pick whether you want everybody to see your alters or not, or if you want outsiders to see your profile at all; provides resources and guides to plurality (which I personally haven't checked, but still putting it in the pros, if somebody thinks I shouldn't, let me know); has an app reminders feature; you can add as much information as you want; front history shows up in a person's profile; alters can add notes; alter groups are available; available on all devices, however, only as a website on PC; colors of your alters can be used in the chat to highlight names; hexcodes are available; "custom front" is a status you set with fronting which can be hilarious sometimes; connects to PluralKit in a number of ways.

Cons: The chat feature is a bit difficult to use, and first time I did, I freaked out because I couldn't get out of it (the trick is to go to "channels" and press "navigation", there you'll see the dashboard); friends can't communicate with each other; copy-pasting is hard on both mobile and PC; something about the interface and navigation irks me and our visually impaired self; notes have same visibility as the profile itself, which is inconvenient if you want your profile to be seen but not your notes; avatars can't be added via website.

Personal rating: 6/10. I don't like how it looks and works (probably due to being visually impaired and other issues), but if you manage to get the information in it, it's pretty accessible and thoughtful of what systems might need. Could be used as a tool to start working with your system rather than do it long-term.

5. Twinote: An app that is your "personal Twitter." Pretty sure it was created for the purpose of having fun rather communicating with alters. Offline app.

Pros: Backup provided; allows "private accounts" that other "users" can't see; can create as many users as you want, as many posts as you want; can upload up to 4 images; works almost like Twitter; has a chat feature; comments, retweets, likes are present; "lists" feature allows you to group users and see only their messages which could be used for "things only protectors sent" and such; storage shows all pictures used in the app, so you won't lose anything; tagging and following people is still an option, and following private accounts give that user an opportunity to be the only one seeing their tweets.

Cons: Can't upload videos; can't do much with anything other than posts and profiles, so trends and other stuff there is off-limits (as far as I know); you have to constantly switch between profiles for the chat feature; share button only shares the contents of the message; very easy to accidentally press the wrong button and delete a tweet by dragging it left (which I almost did a few times).

Personal rating: 7,5/10. I know it's probably annoying that I didn't just type either 7 or 8, but the reaosn why is cause I have mixed feelings about it from a practical point of view. We use it strictly to communicate what we did during the day as a small journal and just joke with each other, and it's incredibly funny in itself, but it doesn't allow you to write down a lot of information about your alters and has a character limit in profiles. So it's strictly for communication.

6. Notion: An app created as a dashboard for literally everything you could ever dream of. You can personalize it however you want and use it for whatever you want. Those who saw the post we made a while ago probably know the reason I'm mentioning it is due to a template that I linked here. Online app.

Pros: Can be used for literally everything without limits; available on all devices; big and has enough storage for a lot of information, text, projects, etc; can be designed however you want; a lot of useful templates for all life instances (even taxes); can be shared with people who also use Notion in a variety of ways (either only comment, only see, etc); can add your own custom covers and icons via both gallery and links; looks neat and doesn't mess with visual impairment for us; can add a page in a page in a page which can be used for diaries; links to different pages on other pages are also available; endless possibilities, I could rant all day.

Cons: Glitches on the phone a lot; certain things are allowed on computer and not on mobile and vice versa; all templates available only on PC; you need to have an account in order to use it; glitches if it's offline; sometimes deletes a bunch of text because of glitches, usually the triggers for it are writing a lot in it directly or erasing previous text a bunch of times; can't invite someone in your space, it would take too much storage; some storage needs to be bought, although, I don't know the limit (but there's a lot. Like, a lot)

Personal rating: 9/10. With all its antics, I love this app dearly, it's incredibly useful, and you learn to deal with the cons. It's the best one I've used for communication and information storage so far.

7. Texting Stories app: As ridiculous as it sounds, it could be used as a tool to communicate with your alters, especially in secret. We are fighting for our safety here, so I ask you to take this suggestion seriously. Could be used when you don't want to let anyone know you're a system and have noisy family members/relatives/etc who like to snoop through you personal devices, by using it, you can say you've just been doing a story. Offline app.

Pros: I believe you can add as many people as you want; can add avatars; different stories can be different days of the week; easy to use; easy to brush off as "just making stories."

Cons: Can't change colors, you need to pay for most things.

Personal rating: 5/10. Can be used for emergencies and communication only, although we haven't used it much.

8. Notes: Just the same plain old notes app on your phone that everybody has installed as default. Offline app.

Pros: Easy to use; can be easily lost within your other notes for privacy; used for literally everything you desire, even drawing; automatic backup.

Cons: Doesn't give you the ability to really present as separate people; doesn't have as many options as Notion.

Personal rating: 5/10. used it at some point just for communication, was cool, somple, easy, but nothing too big.

I hope this helped to put these apps in perspective. I do apologize for it being a bit all over the place, but I did attempt to make it coherent enough (I am currently in a psychotic state, it's difficult for me to communicate). And remember, there are always options to use a written journal rather than a digital one. If anything, it's better to keep both in case one gets lost. Who knows, maybe our parents asking us what we would do if the internet disappeared is actually a warning. /j /nm

Can rare/endangered languages lack new vocabulary? As in, as society has new technology and invents new words and slang, only the more wider used languages have those new words. The less used languages have moved toward home langauge only rather than at schools or in the wider community and certainly not international so they completely lack in such vocabulary because it's never progressed that far. Does that make sense?

Tex: Short answer: No.

Longer answer: New words are always added to a language every generation, which is how a language survives. When this happens, in combination with fewer native speakers, a language may either die off in isolation or become assimilated into a more popular language. It’s crucial that any new words are not simply taken from another language, because that’s how a language is often stifled and subsumed.

To take an example of well-known languages, English is often mined for new words, particularly for technology. In French, the word for computer is not some adaptation of “computer”, but rather the word is ordinateur (Larousse), which comes from the Latin ordinator (Larousse). Now, Latin used to be a lingua franca throughout most of Europe, and because of that there are a lot of words carried over without the extinction of the languages that adopted new words (more or less). English is now a lingua franca, to the same degree of exposure and adoption.

Utuabzu: As Tex said, short answer, no. One of the basic characteristics of natural languages is that they are infinite, that is to say that every natural language is capable of conveying any concept or idea. If a community does not need to discuss something often, their language might need to use a rather roundabout way to do so, but it can be done. If a concept does need to be discussed frequently, then the community will either create a word for it or borrow one from another language. If a concept no longer needs to be discussed frequently, then the word might be repurposed to mean something related or be dropped altogether. This happens all the time, constantly, in every living language. Smaller, more isolated communities tend to experience this more slowly than larger, more interconnected communities, simply because new concepts are introduced to the former more slowly and rarely than to the latter.

English spent the 16th-20th centuries borrowing and coining a huge number of words related to geography, plants and animals, foods and products, because the expansion of the British Empire (and the US), the development of global trade and the industrial revolution brought English speakers into contact with a vast array of new concepts that had never previously needed to be discussed in English. England, being cold and damp, didn’t really require words like ‘jungle’ (borrowed from Hindi) or ‘canyon’ (borrowed from Spanish), nor did a late medieval English speaker need to talk about a ‘bicycle’ or ‘smog’.

The same processes happen in every language, no matter how much some people (Académie Française) try to stop them. Language is ultimately a tool used by a community, and the community will alter it to suit its needs.

The phenomenon you’re describing where different languages are used in different areas of life (called domains*) is called polyglossia (or in older works/works dealing with only two languages/dialects, diglossia), and it’s pretty common. Outside of monolingual speakers of standard national languages (Anglophones tend to be the worst for this) most people in the world experience some degree of polyglossia - usually using their local language or dialect with family/friends and in casual social settings and the standard national language in formal settings - though the degree does vary.

Some polyglossic environments have up to 5 distinct languages in use by any given individual - the example I recall from my sociolinguistics textbook being a sixteen year old named Kalala, from Bukavu in eastern Congo(Democratic Republic of), who spoke an informal variety of Shi at home and with family, and with market vendors of his ethnic group, a formal variety of Shi at weddings and funerals, a kiSwahili dialect called Kingwana with people from other ethnic groups in informal situations, Standard Congolese kiSwahili in formal and workplace situations and with figures of authority, and a youth-coded dialect that draws on languages like French and English called Indoubil with his friends.**

*Important to note here that a domain is both a physical space, eg. the Home, School, Courtroom, and a conceptual space, eg. Family, Work, Business, Politics, Religion. There’s often overlap between these, but polyglossic communities do tend to arrive at a rough unspoken consensus on what language goes with what domain. Most community members would just say that using the wrong language for a domain would feel weird.

**note that this example is pretty old. So old that it still calls the country Zaire. The reference is in Holmes, J., 1992, An Introduction to Sociolinguistics, pp 21-22.

Blue: The USSR presents an interesting case study when it comes to rare languages. It started with Lenin and policies aimed to develop regional languages, down to creating whole writing systems for those that did not have one. Russian was de facto lingua franca and functioned as an official language, but de jure, it was not. The goal of this policy wasn’t just to support literacy and education for different ethnicities; it created, via translations, a common cultural background and was aimed to spread Marxist ideology. If you want people to understand you and accept you, you need to speak their own language.

After these policies shifted, the regional languages didn’t die; they’re still taught in schools and are in use. And one of the important aspects of a language being in use – it grows and develops: as our reality changes, languages have to adapt to it, otherwise they die. And even if there is a “hegemonic” lingua franca that is more used across the board, the government might still be motivated to develop endangered languages, to facilitate the blending of the cultures and to solidify new ideas.

6th of april. nag eenjoy ako mag google sheet, kuha ko na yung pivot table, madali lang naman din kapain. yung mga formula lang talaga nagpapa kumplikado nito e, waw yabang haha. nung high school kasi di ako nakikinig sa teacher ko nung sa subject namin na computer e. haha tsaka basics lang din naman tinuro nun.

feeling ko yung iba pang kumplikado dito, madalas ituro sa mga accounting students haha. naalala ko kasi nung nasa isarog pa ako, kapag nag reremit kami at gumagawa ng report lalo na pag nasa main office ka, yung trabaho dapat ng accounting samin na binibigay haha. naalala ko yung isang chart dun, parang pivot table tsaka bawal galawin. siningit ko lang yung gsheet ko for context haha.

anyway, nagawa ko naman ang agenda for today, maliban sa pagpapa full body massage. di na kasi abot ng oras, baka mabugnot naman yung isa kapag siningit ko pa haha. nakapag pa trim ako ng buhok, medyo hindi ko lang bet masyado yung nag handle sakin, hindi niya nakuha yung gupit, sabi ko kasi bawasan lang pero halos nag pantay na yung sa harap at likod, pahaba kasi dapat yun sa harap. wala kasi yung nag gupit nito nung una e.

nagpa removal lang din ako ng gel polish, tapos pina regular ko nalang muna. balak ko talaga gel polish parin sana kaso nalimutan ko mag withdraw, e cash lang tinatanggap nila dun sa pinapagawan ko. nakakatuwa lang din kasi kilala narin nila ako, tapos yung gumawa sakin, apat na beses na balik ko na dun siya yung nasasakto lagi saken. siguro siya nalng hahanapin ko talaga tuwing pupunta ako dun. haha.

after ko magpa nails, sakto naman na dumating na si J. tapos kumain kami sa inasal, never pa kasi kami kumain dun simula ng naging kami haha. tsaka di rin kasi ako gaano mahilig sa inasal, pero parang nag crave kasi ako sa ihaw kanina kaya nag decide kami na dun nalang.

pagkatapos kumain, nag grocery na rin kami para di na kami ulit pupunta ng Legazpi bukas. kulang kulang naman kasi sa sentro, sa palengke nalang yung iba na wala. medyo lagpas sa budget ko yung pinamili namin ngayon sa grocery, di ko sure kung mas marami lang ba talaga kaming nabili ngayon kumpara sa usual na nabibili namin sa LCC, or mas mahal talaga sa SM. yung LCC kasi dito yung parang puregold e, though meron naman puregold dito, pero medyo malayo kasi kaya madalas sa Ayala - LCC lang kami or sa SM.

Ito ba ay Pagliligtas ng mga Buhay o Nagdudulot ng Kapinsalaan?

Ang Animal Testing ay ang pag-aaral ng mga hayop para sa mga siyentipikong at medikal na tuklas. Ayon sa PETA, higit sa 110 milyong hayop ang isinasailalim sa pagsubok (hal., kemikal, gamot, pagkain, at pampaganda) bawat taon sa U.S. at nagdurusa. Ang mga pagsubok na ito ay nakatulong sa ating lipunan dahil halos lahat ng mga gamot, kagamitang medikal, at pampaganda na mayroon tayo ngayon ay dumaan sa animal testing (Foundation for Biomedical Research). Gayunpaman, sa likod ng mga tagumpay na ito ay may etikal na debate na matagal nang nagiging sanhi ng pagkakabaha-bahagi ng mga tao. Ayon sa California Biomedical Research Association, sa nakaraang 100 taon, halos lahat ng medikal na tagumpay ay direktang resulta ng pananaliksik sa mga hayop. Ngunit ayon sa Humane Society International, ang mga hayop na ginagamit sa mga eksperimento ay madalas na isinasailalim sa puwersahang pagpapakain, paglalagay ng paso at iba pang sugat upang pag-aralan ang proseso ng paggaling, at pinapatay gamit ang carbon dioxide asphyxiation, pagputol ng leeg, pagpugot ng ulo, o iba pang paraan. Kaya, ang animal testing ba ay tunay na nagliligtas ng buhay, nagdudulot ng pinsala, o pareho?

A. Limitasyon ng Animal testing

Habang ang animal testing ay nakakatulong sa ating mga medikal na tuklas, hindi ito palaging nakakamit ang inaasahang resulta. Ayon sa U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), 8% lamang ng mga gamot na nasubukan sa mga hayop ang itinuturing na ligtas at epektibo para sa paggamit ng tao—92% ang hindi. Ayon naman sa PETA, ang pinakahuling independiyenteng pag-aaral ay nagpapakita na 90% ng mga pangunahing pananaliksik, karamihan dito ay kinasasangkutan ng mga hayop, ay hindi nauuwi sa paggamot para sa mga tao.

B. Mga Alternatibo sa Animal testing

May mga alternatibo na para sa animal testing. Ayon sa Cruelty Free International, ang pagpapalit sa mga hayop para sa pagsusuri ay hindi nangangahulugang malalagay sa panganib ang mga pasyenteng tao, at hindi rin nito mapipigilan ang anumang medikal na progreso. Para sa mga alternatibo sa animal testing, maaaring gamitin ang mga cell culture, mga tisyu ng tao (malusog o may sakit), computer models, at volunteer studies. Bagama’t mas makatao at etikal ang mga alternatibong ito, mas tumpak din ang mga resulta. Ayon sa Cruelty Free International, mas mahusay ang non-animal tests kaysa sa animal testing. Halimbawa, "Ang mga basic na skin allergy test gamit ang guinea pigs at daga ay may kakayahang hulaan ang reaksyon ng tao sa 72% at 74% ng pagkakataon, ayon sa pagkakabanggit. Ngunit ang mga pamamaraang pinagsasama ang chemistry at cell-based alternative methods ay napatunayang tumpak na nahuhulaan ang reaksyon ng tao hanggang 85% ng pagkakataon." Ipinapakita nito na maaari pa rin tayong makamit ang mga tagumpay nang hindi kailangang manakit ng mga hayop.

Higit sa isang milyong hayop ang ginagamit sa animal testing. Bagama’t ipinapakita ng bilang na ito ang kahalagahan ng animal testing, napapaisip ako kung bakit hindi mas malawak na ginagamit ang mga alternatibo. Sulit ba ang halaga ng animal testing? Para sa akin, napakakomplikado ng sagot. Naiintindihan ko na ang animal testing ay nakatulong sa ating mga medikal na tuklas at iba pang bagay, ngunit naniniwala ako na kailangang mamuhunan sa mga alternatibong hindi nananakit ng mga hayop. Isa pang bagay na tumatak sa akin ay ang 92% ng mga gamot na epektibo sa mga hayop ngunit nabibigo sa mga tao. Napapaisip ako kung masyado ba tayong umaasa sa isang luma at hindi na napapanahong pamamaraan. Bagama’t naiintindihan ko na ang animal testing ay isang kinakailangang kasamaan para sa pagligtas ng buhay ng tao, masyado itong mataas ang etikal na halaga, lalo na kung may mga alternatibong mas tumpak at mas makatao.

Sa konklusyon, ang debate ukol sa animal testing ay napakakomplikado, dahil nakakatulong ito sa pag-save ng buhay ng tao ngunit sa kapinsalaan ng buhay ng mga hayop. Ang nakakamanghang bilang ng mga hayop na ginagamit sa testing ay nagpapakita ng pangangailangan para sa agarang aksyon. Sa mga alternatibo tulad ng in vitro testing at organ-on-a-chip technologies na napatunayang mas tumpak at makatao, naniniwala ako na dapat nating ituon ang ating pansin sa mga pamamaraang ito.

I just saw an ask game :D and I do have a question that I think would be fun for you.

What actually interested you in learning multiple languages in the first place and what draws you to a language that makes you want to learn it?

Oohhhh, now that's a fun one! :D

Well. I learned my first "real true" (no, seriously, honest) foreign language at the age of 9 and I felt absolutely neutral towards it.

Meh, 'twas another subject at school, so what? XD younger!me was not specifically very interested in languages at all. I had the world to explore, after all! What's languages compared to manga? Compared to anime? Compared to books?

Compared to the real world? Darn, no, I sure am not throwing time at something I might never use again at a later date in life, see me go "nope" at languages and "yes" to life experiences.

And then my sister went and learned to fluently speak five languages somehow. It seemed very much like "all of a sudden she can speak five languages" to me. Dammit all, I had to learn at least as many, didn't I?

That - along with my school offering languages as their educational focus - helped. Still wasn't ideal, but I'd gotten that certain nudge into this direction then. And at that point my love for Japan was noticeably not fading, so I got gifted a Japanese language class. And... sort of haven't stopped learning Japanese since. Whoops?

At the same time my school offered French and in a choice between Italian and French? Sure, I'll choose French (the language sounded nicer at that time and the teacher kinder). I can learn Italian later on, once the school offers another language choice two years into the first one, right?

Right?

Wrong. Had to choose between Spanish and computer science, so no Italian for me back then. But Spanish is basically Italian on crack, isn't it? (pls don't dunk on teenage!me, teenage!me was a bit of a teenager back then) They're 1:1 understandable to one another, right? Right?

Also wrong.

But that didn't stop me from starting Italian on my own at university.

And a friend offered to teach a class of Turkish right in-between school and university, so there we went~

And university itself offers language classes too, how could I not check them out and study Hindi for a bit?

... somehow, without even consciously being aware of it, I'd accumulated a starting vocab for about twenty languages before I was twenty (how do I know that exact number at that exact age? I had to do a language autobiography collecting, chronologically listing and presenting all my language studies and some of the knowledge I'd obtained in detail for a class shortly after turning twenty).

By now it's probably stayed *roughly* the same in number (... maybe I added five to ten-ish languages since then? no clue), though I couldn't say whether or not that's simply because of where I live or what opportunities I had or what little time I've had to spend on accumulating more languages since. Life's a busy bee, sometimes, and the life of an author/linguist/leisure-social-media-scroller (tumblr I'm looking at you) feels even busier. Never mind any other engagements I have ended up in so far.

I have an ongoing interest in languages cause I find it fun to be able to communicate with the world in whatever language I can. They're a means to reading, listening and interacting with people and there's wordplay to consider. ;) In short, I find it fun.

To answer your questions:

What actually interested you in learning multiple languages in the first place

I stumbled into them like Winnie the Pooh might stumble into a pot of honey XD there was no definitive moment of "Oh, I'm interested in becoming a polyglot now" - at the point in time that I had that realisation I already was one.

and what draws you to a language that makes you want to learn it?

Depending on the language, I have different motivations for learning them:

Japanese: "stopping now makes just as much sense as a prisoner breaking out might stop in front of the 9th out of 10 walls they'd have to climb", also "I've got manga to read in Japanese just to get all the jokes in them" and "I bought and imported books from Japan that I still have to read"

French: "I still haven't read all of the Arsène Lupin series" and "from time to time the Frenchspeakers release funny movies that I wanna watch in the original language"

Italian: "darn, originally I was in this for the bit but I'm committed to learning it now with whatever means necessary"

Spanish: is "just sort of there" and "Sometimes I find articles and news pages and books I want to read that just so happen to be in Spanish, so why not read them in Spanish, I don't even need a translation"

Korean: "I want to be able to read you at one point, darn it all to hell"

etc. ad infinitum. I didn't even mention all the ones I'm fluent in here, never mind all the ones I started to learn at one point in my life, so yeah.

I love the challenge? I love the way learning languages open up a whole new world view to you as you go along? I adore being able to read yet more books by just learning a language? I love word games?

All of these and more count towards my interest in languages. :D Gotta say, languages rock. Polyglottism ftw.

@stereden cause I can

@a-knight-owls-curse thanks for the interesting ask!

#ask game #I got asked!#thank you for the ask!#linguistics #linguistic shenanigary #is accidental polyglottism a thing?#if not it certainly ought to be #pls forgive my french #and the cursing

Got tagged by @pirate-captain-kaira for this, so... ~cracks knuckles~

Ten (no-pressure) questions:

♫Do you play an instrument?

Not very regularly. I know the basics of how to play piano, guitar, classic flute, snare drum, xylophone, harp, and a hand-carved Native American cedar flute I've had for a couple decades.

•Favourite book characters?

Firenze and Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter), Ed (Deep Wizardry), Cimorene and Kazul (The Enchanted Forest Chronicles), Menolly (The Harper Hall trilogy in the Pern Chronicles), Aldrea (The Hork-Bajir Chronicles in the Animorphs series), Vanyel and Kerowyn and Winterhart (Valdemar series, different books), uhh.... Several others I'm blanking on at the moment.

•What's your star sign?

Scorpio. (Sagittarius rising, moon in Libra)

•Favourite colour schemes?

Blue/green/silver, blue/indigo/purple, black/burgundy/red, black/green/gold, black/gray/white/purple....

•Naps or long sleep?

Yes.

•What languages do you speak?

English, fluently. I'm acceptably conversant in ASL, Castilian Spanish, and French. I know a smattering of Japanese, German, Yiddish, Latin, Greek, Russian, Hindi-Urdu, and Arabic. (If we're counting fictional languages, add Quenya, Sindarin, and Vulcan to that last list.) And if I'm sleep-deprived and unhappy I absolutely will mix any number of those languages together to swear at you.

•Dreams/aspirations?

Short term, to finally rebuild my desktop computer. I have all the parts I need, but finding the time and the spoons to put it together.... Long term, I would eventually like to start publishing my original works, including the children's books I've been working on writing and illustrating based off stories made up to tell my kids at bedtime.

•Long hair or Short Hair?

I've had both. I enjoy having long hair, but right after giving birth it's so much easier and safer to have it cut short.

•Tea or coffee?

Tea. I can tolerate coffee in its various forms, but I vastly prefer tea, especially spiced teas and chai.

•Bring a book character to life or go into a fictional world?

Go into a fictional world, provided I could easily get back out of it. Much safer than bringing a book character to life since I'd be most likely to bring out Kazul, the King of the Dragons.

Tagging whoever wants to do this. Go, have fun!
