Hello! I was just surfing Wikipedia, when I came across this picture in the Wikimedia Commons category dedicated to Faux Cyrillic. This is the first time I have ever seen Catalan, of all languages, butcher the Cyrillic alphabet. What for, I am not sure.

24 Dye Gyeiyeya

Did Dyel Ruit Voldt

The literal translation from Catalan is "January 24 - Day of the Flying Point". What Russia has to do with it, I don't know.

The Catalan Wikipedia turns 18 years old today. It was the second non-English Wikipedia to be created, and the first to have an article created in a language other than English. It's currently the 20th in number of articles with 600k, and sits at the top in quality. Happy age of majority to us! :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat…

Letters 'y' vs 'll': Can native speakers hear a difference between them? Is this true of any/all dialects of spanish?

An english speaker once told me they could hear a difference between 's' and 'sc' in 'seen' vs 'scene'. I don't know whether that's true or imagined. I'm curious about native spanish speakers' opinions of 'y' vs 'll'

What's the most international word in your language that a native speaker uses normally with another meaning?

One example:

Any non Catalan speaker, when hearing the word paella will think of this dish, isn't eat? Well, any native speaker, in any normal day, when using the word paella will most probably be talking about this implement. Because paella, literally, means frying pan. And, in a paella you can cook rice, which is called arròs a la paella, or «paella d'arròs». In short, «paella».

Anyway, as you use the pan (paella) for a lot of things but you'll only cook a paella (arròs a la paella) once in a while, most of the time paella just means pan.

What about your languages?

Is «robot» the same for Czech speakers, for example?

How Indonesia and the Philippines' Define and Organize Ethnicity

INTRODUCTION

This post will attempt to explain the differences in how Filipinos and Indonesians see ethnicity and the nature of the two societies. A couple of years ago I did some posts on the Philippines and Indonesia like TL: DR Reasons for the failure of the Philippines’s foreign policy,

The post will be organized as follows

  1. LATITUDINAL VS LONGITUDINAL ARCHIPELAGIC STATE
  2. AUSTRONESIAN CORE
    1. ETHNICITY AS A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT
  3. ETHNO-CULTURAL DIAGRAM
  4. RELIGIOUS-CULTURAL LAYERS
  5. MULTIPLE SOCIETIES VS MAINSTREAM FILIPINO SOCIETY
  6. HIGHLAND AND LOWLAND SOCIETIES
  7. BLOOD, LOCATION, AND CULTURE

Many, like Samuel Huntington's in his book Clash of Civilization (1996) label Indonesia as Islamic, and the Philippines as Western, but beyond these simple labels, people are left hanging. Little is done to describe the structure of the societies, how ethnic groups and religious minorities are organized. The four takeaways from this post are:

  • Indonesia is a longitudinal archipelagic state-aligned by trade and a shared lingua franca. The Philippines is a latitudinal archipelagic state orientated loosely by trade with China, and later on, shared religion.
  • In Maritime Southeast Asia, there are cultural layers, such as Sanskritization, Islam, and Christianity.
  • The Indonesian state believes Indonesia consists of multiple societies. While most Filipinos and the Philippines state assume there is mainstream Filipino society.
  • The Indonesian state defines ethnicity by blood and keeps detailed records of regions' ethnic composition. The Philippines' state doesn't keep such data.

This post will be the beginning of a series of posts I will do about Indonesia and the Philippines. The purpose of this particular post is to provide a very rough framework for looking at ethnicity, culture, and religion in Indonesia and the Philippines. I won't get into the "why", that will be for subsequent posts.

I decided to do this post, because Indonesia's importance to the Philippines is understated, and its importance will increase markedly after Indonesia moves its

Why does the Spanish-speaking world refer to Christopher Columbus as Colón?

I get that the anglicization of his name comes from the Latin root of his birth name, Colombo, however his Italian name fits within Castilian Spanish norms; it’s even the source of the name Colombia. Why did the he go down in Spanish history books as “Colón”?

[Long] All eight Civilization flags ranked by historical accuracy

A list of all the civilization flags in high resolution, so we can follow along: https://imgur.com/a/BAu0187

My “research” is pretty basic (mostly public-facing websites with some academic texts), so I urge anyone to fact check anything I’ve claimed and let me know if I’m misrepresenting anything.

So, for basic context, historical states/empires/dynasties in history didn’t have flags in the way we’d understand them. Although the royal family (and by extension, all the lands under their control) might have a royal standard, flags as a distinct and cohesive national symbol (with specific rules for proportions and colors, and meant to encompass the citizens of that state) didn’t really exist as a “thing” until the 18th or 19th centuries. A kid in Ancient Rome wouldn’t understand if you asked him to draw the flag of his country; in fact, the portrait of the Emperor would probably be the closest thing to an emblem of the state (present on buildings and coins all over). Not to mention this varies widely over the centuries and across continents. I’m oversimplifying it, but that’s basically the gist of it.

So, now diving into the flags of Age of Empires 4, from least to most historically accurate, by my measure:

The Chinese

The Chinese were the easiest to investigate—because the “Chinese” civilization here is supposed to encompass numerous dynasties and states across the centuries, the developers would have a tough time picking just one flag. So, they just grabbed some Chinese imagery and Frankenstein’d a flag together, making use of abstract symbolism.

The symbol itself is meant to be a representation of Chinese knotting, an artistic practice which was (apparently) popular during the Tang and Song dynasties in China (that is, during the Middle Ages).

As for the colors, red and gold have been imbued with plenty of meaning throughout Chinese history; generally, yellow/gold is viewed as a color of prestige and beauty (often used by historical dynasts as a royal color, such as during the Jin dynasty) and red symbolizes luck and good fortune.

So, traditional knotting + red + gold… although it’s an admirable effort, it’s still completely made up: 0/10

The Mongols

Easy too, because the flag here is also completely ahistorical. As far as I can understand, the “Mongols” in AoE4 are meant to encompass the “original” Mongol Empire under Genghis Khan, as well as its immediate suc
