Time for our regular reminder to people from New England that our native dialect’s charming slang for a small liquor store is a racial slur in the rest of the English speaking world.
Yes I know we don’t mean it that way. Yes I know we have no idea. Yes I know that people from Pakistan hardly ever visit New England let alone settle there, and it is 💯 innocently meant in New England.
It is extraordinarily unfair that the racial connotations of keeping a small corner shop means that it unintentionally doubles the impact of the slur.
It’s wicked uncool but there you go and now you know.
#package stores#New England#I first discovered this in 2010 thankfully just before moving to the UK#when dr glass was like hello you call them what???????#but it’s one of the few New England dialect words that really stick#and with very few immigrants from that region to that region#like if you’re going to emigrate you might as well go somewhere more pleasant without weather that kills you on every season#you can go your whole New England life not knowing#I know it’s innocent and I’m not the boss of slurs but I hope this helps!

Underdicussed aspect of Ed and Stede's future life in their "Inn": within a couple months they are going to be incomprehensible to anyone else. Mr Zangy and Mr Tangy have speedrun the development of a new dialect. It's still sort of English, but it's riddled with made up words like zangy and tangy, with technically normal words that have been given a completely new meaning because one of them said it in accident once, then it became A Bit for a couple days, and then it just became normal to use this word in the new context and they forgot it didn't always mean this. Some words have gone from being nouns to being adverbs and verbs. They are about to invent their own grammar. They talk to each other all day about all sorts of things because they love being together and they love talking to each other, and with every day their language moves further away from being actually intelligible to anyone else. When the crew comes to visit, they'll find a pair of retired pirates/not-yet innkeepers who use completely nonsense words for common household items and who talk to each other in gibberish.
#this thought is brought to you by all the random made up and repurposed words my family and friend circle has#that's how dialects and languages happen#you isolate a group of people and they'll just start making up new words and at some point you gotta say “this is a new language now”#I'm taking suggestions for what to name Ed and Stede's new dialect creation#ofmd#teeny rambles#ofmd post canon

I just recently started following you so i don't have the full lore of your murderous gay religiously traumatized doggos, BUT, from my understanding, they are Italian and i don't know what part of Italy they are from, yet i can't help headcanoning Vasco as Tuscan, while Machete is probably from some part of Veneto. And as an Italian who has heard Tuscans and Veneto dialet, well it's an hilarious mental image.
Vasco is indeed Tuscan, Florentine to be specific. He comes from a wealthy and influential noble family that has lived in Florence for centuries. He's proud of his roots, and it's usually easy for strangers to tell where he's from. He's a resonably successful politician and has worked as an ambassador and representative of Florence on numerous occasions.
Machete is originally Sicilian (ironically about as far from Veneto as possible), although he was taken to mainland at young age and has lived in several places since then, before ending up in Rome. The way I see it, he exhibits very little local color, his demeanor and (even though Italian hadn't become a standardized language yet) way of speaking are formal, neutral and scarcely give away any hints about his personal history, at least in the 16th century canon.
#I tend to take the easy way out with the various Italian dialects/languages and temper their effect on how the dog world works#even though to my understanding in reality they differ drastically from each other even today and they aren't always mutually intelligible#especially when you compare northern and southern ones#I know at least Sicilian is so different from modern day Italian it's considered a separate language entirely#it isn't the only one but I'm not a linguist and not even Italian so I'm not really qualified to be explaining any of this to you#main point is that my dogs are well traveled educated and adaptable so I'd like to believe that they manage#otherwise making this whole scenario work would become very complicated#language barriers aplenty#Machete is a fast learner with a natural knack for languages so he absorbs/decodes new ones easily#and I can see him acting as an interpreter if necessary#which is a valuable trait for someone working as the secretary of state I'd imagine#a lot of people he ends up dealing with speak at least passable Latin so at a pinch they might perhaps try switching to that?#Vasco might have a Tuscan flavor but Machete is more of a blank slate (at least in public and at work)#answered#fallenoftheromaempire#feel free to correct me if I've gotten something wrong I'm not an expert and this stuff is complicated for an outsider

The inevitable has come to pass... I made an OC for the Horizon world.
She's a stubborn little tot, the kind you'd see in an optional side quest
#horizon oc#horizon forbidden west#my art#art#illustration#original character#nonverbal character#this character uses ASL#because i don't know if the horizon world would've adapted another dialect or made up a new one#asl#lavabean art#and drawing ASL was harder than i thought!

More notes for Roach conlanging. Roach has grammatical gender, in which only Male, Female, and Object are grammatical genders, whereas Worker uses feminine grammar, Queen and King use a slight variant on feminine grammar, and Drone, and Queen-Alate use masculine grammar. This is because King is derived from Queen, due to their similar positions in a colony, and Queen-Alate is derived from Drone, as both are forms of alate.
Queen is an alteration of feminine grammar that functionally just adds a handful of extra syllables to it, and King is an offsprout of Queen that uses the same grammar with different pronouns. Queen-Alate, despite the name, is derived from Drone, as they are both for referring to different types of alate ant.
Most Roach dialects are intelligible to speakers of Snakemouth Den Cordyceps Roach, but Snakemouth Den Cordyceps Roach is not entirely intelligable to speakers of Roach dialects due to a mix of the excessively specialized vocabulary caused by the specific needs of its speakers, the fact that its speakers do not necessarily have Roach mouthparts and thus may not pronounce syllables in a similar way, and due to the fact that Inanimate Object is a full grammatical gender that does not exist in any other dialect of roach and replaces a decent chunk of terminology for things that previously had Other Words For Them.
#we speak#conlang#bug fables#please excuse us if we're mangling the terminology here btw. we cannot for the life of us remember the proper terms for half of this#and every time we try to google things it winds up turning up nothing#probably because we're googling shit like “the term for the thing where self reference is different if youre a guy or a girl”#and like. “part of speech that you use to refer to other people that isnt pronouns or a name that has title associations”#if we reread some textbooks we will probably remember but unfortunately these are not our textbook reference posts#they are our “what if we told you about the cool ways that we did grammar in here” post#god we love grammatical grammar (<guy who doesn't have a strong enough sense of gender to remember der and die properly)#(because we are the specific type of speaker where we're half operating based on what Feels Right with the word and we are)#(so fucking bad at remembering how gendering words is meant to go)#(the secret reason we hate phonetics is because we have to contend with both figuring out how mouthparts would work and like)#(Working Out A Reasonable Collection Of Sounds To Have In Our Language. which means we have to actually like. name things)#(cruel and unusual that we have to make actual words rather than loosely tossing building blocks on the floor. honestly.)#anyways snakemouth den roach is one of those dialects where it's on the verge of becoming a language on its own#where it's very debatable on if it's Actually A New Language or just a very specific dialect of an old one because. well. boxes#picture it as like. trying to speak to someone who you Think is speaking french but they have an extremely thick regional accent#and they keep using like ten-syllable words that you probably don't know but that seem to refer to things that could be referred to#way more concisely?#and also rather than just le and la they have added an entire new lu to the mix and you are unclear if its the accent or a new word entirel#(note: we are not a specialist on french as we primarily know it in the “we've been around it long enough to vaguely know what's being said#way and are not currently caught up enough on whatever they have going on to know about any major grammar stuff going on over there)#(but we are terrible enough with remembering the grammar of the german that we do speak that we do not trust ourself to not be Worse there)

I don’t think you can hold Shaw accountable for his actions when there’s a new language in play, Furnace.

Sorry not sorry but Piper and Hazel being able to speak French to each other and understand it better than Leo and Reyna speaking Spanish to each other is still the funniest thing HOO ever did
#is it canon? no#but do i look like i care?#do you know how different puerto rican and mexican spanish are?#DO YOU KNOW HOW SIMILAR QUEBECOIS FRENCH AND NEW ORLEANS FRENCH ARE?#genuinely could go on abt this forever like WHY is this not capitalised off of more in the fandom#(it's bc most of the fandom don't speak either language and just go oh! spanish! surely there's no different dialects!!!!)#but yk not the point rn#piper mclean#hazel levesque#reyna avila ramirez arillano#reyna avila ramirez arellano#leo valdez#and it would be hazel and piper's second language but leo and reyna's first language like cmon#cmon. is that not fucking hilarious#am i the only one laughing rn

Started watching love sea because there's a *ahem ahem* scene in the early episodes. But I'm loving the detail that mat is speaking southern even though he has established he can speak bankok accent. It feels more original and authentic. We didn't really have a show before where the main lead speaks completely in a different dialect.
Edit: tbh i would've folded for that much money too.

Sorry this tag is all I've been thinking about today so I couldn't stop myself from making another version
#vio you don't know what you are doing to my brain with this#god is atheist#like he met GOD and she's atheist so she doesn't believe in her own existence#and HE already doesn't believe in god so it's like he met a nothing that doesn't believe it's anything#and his own existence is just as paradoxical in his poems#so what can a Nothing that exists have witnessed if not another Nothing that exists both of which we can doubt that exist?#it's giving Hegel solo un'autocoscienza può riconoscere un'altra autocoscienza#except it's nulla che riconosce il nulla#and more in general the dialectical dynamic between the Absolute and Reality - specifically Man hhhhgnfhs#need to chew on some new Thots in the guido-brainrot universe
