I would imagine they would have access to resources no other cultures at the time could collect or harvest in large quantities, and this could have been valuable trade goods and also important food resources, but to what extent?
Ni mau tanya disebabkan sya x pernah pigi majlis kawin org2 kadazan dusun tertanya-tanya jgk berapa anggaran kos kawinnya? Adakah sama mcm suku bugis-bajau-jawa yang selalunya makan kos besar (20k++) atau lebih simple atau macam mana kah? Cuba share dulu..Oh ya ada dengar juga pasal tiang rumah tu…dengar2 itu mahal juga kan
The Italians, through conquest and trade made the entirety of the Mediterranean Basin the Roman lake since it surrounded it on all sides...

I was checking the Wikipedia map of the Filipino-origined Sama Bajau people and their trade networks encircled several seas...

They encircled the Celebes Sea...

And they even held power in the Strait of Malacca...
Sulawesians (Sama-Bajau and Bugis) installed their own Sultans in Peninsular Malaysia. The Sultanate of Selangor in Malaysia owes a royal dynasty and aristocracy descendingg from Sulawesi (Somewhere where both Bugis and Sama-Bajau inhabit)

Considering their vast geographic scope, could the Sama-Bajau have operated the Southeast Asian equivalent of a Mediterranean Basin trade network?
What about the Luzones people, which were people from Luzon, which had trade networks across South, Southeast and East Asia (examples being Regimo Diraja and Rajah Matanda) were they partners with or did they compete against the Sama-Bajaus?

So many questions and I'm needing answers.

... keep reading on reddit ➡[Author's note: This is the first part of my two part series on Symmetrical Voice, or as you might know it, Austronesian Alignment. It covers terminology, how it works, voice selection, and possible extensions. The next part will cover the development of such systems]
#Introduction
Other than triconsonantal roots, there's probably no feature that captures a disproportionate amount of conlangers' interest like "Austronesian alignment" does. However, there's not many resources about it, and those that do exist generally use confusing terminology, don't follow a valency-neutral/symmetrical voice framework and ignore broad swathes of languages that fall in this system while missing various important (non-morphological) features of these systems. Furthermore, these prior works are essentially static, ignoring how it develops and what it can develop to. Thus, my intention here is not to provide examples of how symmetrical voice (SV) works (Wikipedia does an excellent job doing that, as do many other guides) but instead discuss the typology, syntax and development of these systems, followed by various extensions, attested and otherwise. In this sense, I am continuing the tradition of the Wikipedia article, which was a piece of garbage when I first had a stab at this many years ago but (as noted on the talk page) is still missing the why of SV. I draw heavily from a number of sources about SV and encourage you to read them for more information.
One important note: Since SV are found pretty much in only in one family and is best described using languages from a single closely related sub-branch, it is hard to say what is inherent to the system and what is simply an artifact of relation. However, this probably isn't too much a problem for conlangers for similar reasons to triconsonantal root systems always being so damn Semitic. Y'all want to do something cool but also "natural" so when there's just a single source, you hew close to it.
#Terminology
Austronesian voice system- A system where obligatory markings on the verb tell the thematic role (well sort of) of the privileged syntactic argument in the clause while maintaining the core status of non-privileged phrases. It is not a simply a system where the verb agrees with the (pragmatic) topic though topicality is often an important part of it. It's not even really an alignment (maybe), but I'll let the syntacticians argue about that. From an alignment perspective though, it might be described as a split-tran
... keep reading on reddit ➡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.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
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!
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
Hi all,
I know next to nothing about spearfishing so forgive anything I don't get right in this question. I'm trying to do some basic research. I'm writing a story that involves a brief scene of freediving spearfishing, in a premodern setting, and I'd like to get the specifics at least close to correct.
I understand how modern pole spears work, but I'm wondering how premodern spears would have worked. Would it be feasible for a person to use a spear while freediving? Or was it traditionally only done from the surface/in the shallows?
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
