Zompist Bboard Again

An idea i had a while back is to make a relay where all of the languages are not necessarily related because languages do not sort themselves into neat related vs unrelated piles in the real world. The setting could be an island,archipelago or a small continent or possibly part of a large continent....

Maybe it's a subtle dab on said individuals implying they aren't people.

FWIW, language loss occurs most readily when the language being lost and the one displacing it are related to each other, making it easier for its speakers to make the switch. For example, Latin wiped out the other Italic and continental Celtic languages, but left Basque and the Afro-Asiatic langua...

Certainly i would say they might have become more popular in recent years with exposure to global cuisine.

I mean the previous example had no non-nasal vowels at all i just didn't post the fact because it might have weirded people out.

I'm not sure. I think it's true but increasingly less so. You still find a lot of people loving tripe here, but less so than one or two generations ago. Judging by that the decline in popularity must have occured much later then similar declines in anglo countries Why is that? Aren't things such as...

Am i right in saying organ meat phobia is less prominent amongst non anglo europeans? See french foie gras and italian tripe sandwiches. I'm not sure. I think it's true but increasingly less so.
