I am getting sick of voiceless palatal affricates...

We didn’t see [only the Louvre]. ⇒ We only didn’t see the Louvre. Yet, the first sentence exists in surface structure with a completely different meaning! For you, that meaning is unambiguously different; for me it’s ambiguous, and can be the same under highly marked circumstances. But, apparently,...

Exactly. And in this case there are no convenient historical events that we can firmly peg a transition in our periodization to (such as how 1066 is used as a demarcation between Old and Middle English). Nitpick: The Old to Middle transition is normally dated to 1200, for which the historical peg w...

Dunno if this has been discussed already here, but PIE *Hebl- 'apple' may not be a loanword at all, and instead just be a metastethised form of *meHlom. Can't track down the paper from academia.edu I originally read that in, but the gist is that an intermediate form *Heml- underwent ml → bl. Also, ...

There's been (often masked) Zionists actively attacking encampments here in the US, as Emily states.

Right, begining of the Old English period , not language. It's not like the ol' Angles went to bed one night speaking Proto-Germanic and woke up the next morning speaking Old English. "English", "Old English" and "Proto-Germanic" are all labels we arbitrarily tack on a...

Is this not a matter for the Computing thread?

You do know there is no good answer for that.

I implemented what I thought were continuations for zeptoscript... but it turns out they are not. Reason being that my "continuations" freeze the state of the stacks* in time, for it to be restored verbatim any number of times, but proper continuations apparently allow the stack(s) to be m...

Two in one day!

Re Low German: What you have in Germany are regiolects. The South is different, but in the North they are not based on the old dialects, but on the Standard, they only take over some features from the dialects, like intonation / accent, and some regional words. People normally don't feel constraine...

I think you're lumping a lot together here, and also accents like Milwaukee (would you call it a dialect? is the grammar and/or vocab that different from the standard?) are relatively new, as opposed to all your other examples that are of very old varieties. The main differences between Milwaukee d...
