I already made a few alphabets, but after making few, I decided to create a reformed göktürk alphabet for the karaim language, it works with most turkic languages. anyways I will show give you all the telegram link

Why are they distributed like this? Are the speakers nomadic? Were they forcefully relocated by the Soviets? Those are really the only two scenarios I can think of.

Hi, I'm currently doing linguistic research. And I'm wondering where can I find Kipchak dictionaries that were compiled during the Mamluk period (13th-15th centuries). I've looked so hard but I couldn't find them.

Yeah the Kyrgyz seem to have a very interesting and Ancient history. A lot of people seem to say that the Turks originated from the Gokturk Khaganate. However, a lot of texts say that the Kyrgyz weren't part of that Khaganate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_nomads, a lot of Tang dynasty texts mention that differentiated between Kyrgyz and "Turks"). I wonder how they weren't part of the Gokturk empire. Also, it makes you wonder where the Kyrgyz orginated from since alhough the Kyrgyz are a Turkic people, they were not part of the Gokturk Khaganate (did the Gokturks and Kyrgyz have a common ancestor)?. Also a map mention from Genghis Khan times states the where the Kyrgyz were located (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genghis_Khan#/media/File:Mongol_Empire_c.1207.png) (alongside Tuvans and Buryats). How is that and are the Kyrgyz now same as the Kyrgyz back then? Please correct me if I had made any mistakes.

I was trying to make a list of all Georgian monarchs ever, under monarchs I mean everyone, including kings of separated and divided Georgian territories and their self-proclaimed kings, and including tribal leaders of the early period.

Also, in case this gets reposted, I don't want to share just names and what they did, I want people to understand the timeline and what were these states where these people ruled, so we start from there, with a small overview of general proto-Georgian states that were settled by Georgians for many thousands of years and even beyond that, tribal settlements already existed 200 000 years ago, exactly in the surroundings of where are major Georgian cities today, early proto-Georgian states were first mentioned in 1200 BC by the Assyrian king Tiglath-Pileser I, it seems that Diauehi - დიაოხი (1200 BC - 750 BC), was counter-attacking the king. There is the Kingdom of Colchis - კოლხიდა / ეგრისი (1300 BC - 164 BC) which eventually absorbed Diauehi as the union of proto-Georgian tribes. Meanwhile, in the East of Georgia, the Kingdom of Iberia (302 BC - 580 AD) is taking shape under the first Georgian dynasty of Kings. Under Roman rule, Colchis transformed into Lazica - ლაზიკა / ეგრისი (131 AD - 697 AD). After Lazica and Iberia, Georgians were seeking ways to unite the dynasty, Tao-Klarjeti, Abkhazia, Kartli, all were taking part in the game of thrones. Finally, the second major dynasty of Kings was able to unite all Georgian tribes within the Kingdom of Georgia (1008 - 1490), after devastating attacks Kingdom was divided into small duchies who all claimed to be kings of Georgia, such as the Kingdoms of Kartli, Kakheti, and Imereti. Until 1810, when Russian Empire abolished the Georgian monarchy.

To be honest, I didn't check the limit that actually exists for a Reddit post, it's 40000 characters, and I did over 80000 so had to trim it a bit, but I think I have provided information for anyone who had an impact and actually did something beneficial or had an impact but did something awful, you can find all the game of thrones here. I will post both parts at the same time and will link both parts to each other.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Helo guy. Last time I have create a civ concept of the Khitan and I recived quite a few comment about how I should balance this civ . For the last month I quite busy so it took me a month to rework this concept. Now let you wait no longer, this is the rework of my Khitan civ concept. For those whoneed to look at the old concept, here it is: https://www.reddit.com/r/aoe2/comments/qe5jev/aoe2de_khitans_civ_concept/

Khitans

Cavalry Archer civ

The Khitans, rised from a nomadic people to a power dominate Northen China for over 200 years (907-1125). They established their own dynasty, the Liao and engage in a triad relationship with the Chinese Song in the south and the Tangurts Xiaxia in the West. After the fall of the Liao dynasty to the Jurchens Jin, a group of Khitans, lead by Yelu Dashi flee westward and finally build their nation, Western Liao (a.k.a Qara-Khitai). This empire ruled Central Asian until it was defeated and finally destroyed by, you guest it, Genghis Khan. The Khitans history may had lot of rises and falls but at the end, many of its legacy still remained as another conquerer dynasty of China learned lot of Liao laws and administration.

Architecture: East Asian (If there would be a Mongols architect then it'd work perfectly)

Language: Khitan ( a now-extinct language but many scripts and vocabullaries remained and recovered to this day thanks to Chinese records).

Wonder: Liaoyang White Tower

Civ Bonus:

• Mills, Lumber Camps and Mining Camps are replaced by the Yurts.

This bulding is a combination of mill, lumber camp and mining camp. Villager can drop-off their resources here and you can upgrade economic tech here too. This building can also pack/unpack like trebuchet and it will save you quite a lot of wood since you can just pack up and move to a new location instead of building a new resource camp. This building, however, cost 100 wood, which mean 25 wood more than normal resources camp so your early game can be a little short on wood.

• Parthian Tactics affect Scout, Steppe Lancer and Camel Rider lines.

While many of you think that a 4/8 armor Hussar is too OP, I think it quite comparable in tanking arrows compare to Paladin but lagging behind in damage dealing department. Steppe Lancer and Camels are sistuational units so you don't have to worry about this bonus too OP and this bonus will give these units and edge over ot

Most people who talk about these two languages will at some point mention how similar the two languages are, but i've seen some people people take it a step further and say that Kazakh and Kyrgyz could be considered dialects of the same language, and i wonder if this claim has any truth to it?

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

And now I’m cannelloni

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

But that’s comparing apples to oranges

And boy are my arms legs.

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

When I have stressed my anxieties for the first time about this issue when the AOE4 website first showcased the Abbasid civilization, I was calmed by some redditors here with them saying ''maybe these are just some of the unique units they have?''

I took an optimist attitude and told myself ''yeah, I mean regardless of how much of a stereoypy, comical, satire, cartoonish, orientalist design choice they go for, they cant just ignore the importance of cavalry in Abbasid Civilization''

Now seeing the video, unfortunately it became clear that my fears came true :(

Ghulams/Mamluks were the most elite, backbone, arguably interesting part of Abbasid armies. They were the ones who founded Delhi Sultanate for example. The system continued in all the succeeding Islamic empires. They defeated Mongols in Ain Jalut, they defeated crusaders in La Forbe and 7th crusade(and conquered every crusader state one after another), they even made their way into Napoleons army! They were the elite heavy cavalry unit. It is like not giving horse archers to Mongols, not giving longbowmen to English, not giving knights to French, not giving crossbowmen to Venetians!

Actually even more than that. After the introduction of ghulams by the Caliph Al-Mu'tasim in the 9th century, even a city was founded so they would stay ''pure'' and not lose their warrior skills: Samarra.

In Aoe2 Saracen unique unit was Mamluk but it was for some reason a camelry and even more interestingly it was throwing Aladin scimitars. Anyway, it was an old game. I hope they didnt name the heavy camel units we see as ''Mamluk'' again.

Now also, Arabs throughout their history took pride in their horses and were known for their light cavalry.

Again, yes, camelry was used but it was mostly used by auxiliary units such as beduins. It is just mind boggling to see heavily armoured, obviously elite units mounting camels! Mamluks/Ghulams never used camels.

I mean it is just disheartening to see while English civilizations unique abilities are just beautifully referenced(men at arms bonus is a clever reference to King Edward III's military reforms) to history(except for the farm one, I think that was just to boost English eco), Abbasids and Delhi Sultanate are represented so poorly.

Delhi Sultanate, apart from the elephants, is a whole another mess. One could say this civ is only cosmetically Delhi Sultanate. The infantry building military buildings bonus, scholar bonus... I knew Delhi Sultanates history but I made

BamBOO!

They’re on standbi

A play on words.

My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.

Do your worst!
