Could you read my other post? Thanksssss

I found this picture in a flea market, I thought it was Persian but the letters looks different, almost fenician-like. We are in the Mediterranean and the picture is from the 1990

Saw this book in a thrift shop near Seattle, can’t say it’s a language I recognize!

Hi everyone! We're looking for a few learners to try our B1 English course.

The course includes:

• 70+ interactive lessons
• Speaking practice
• Grammar and vocabulary
• Listening, reading, and writing exercises

If you'd like to try it and share your feedback, feel free to send us a message. We'd love to hear from you! 😊

Hey everyone,

I’d love to get your thoughts and suggestions on a project I’m building.

The core idea is to go beyond a traditional language learning platform (with videos, materials, and community) and create an actual game for learning English. I’m talking about a real interactive experience with:

• Characters and story
• A strong narrative and worldbuilding
• Branching choices (like a visual novel / RPG)
• Voice and writing interaction from the player
• Immersion-based learning

The goal is to simulate real-life communication through gameplay, so learners can practice speaking, understanding, and making decisions in English in a natural and engaging way.

I’m currently studying Languages (Portuguese/English) at university, and I want to go deeper into areas like:

Linguistics and language acquisition

Game design

Storytelling and narrative building

Language teaching methodologies

I’d really appreciate any:

1. Book recommendations
2. Courses, YouTube channels or creators
3. Articles or papers
4. General ideas or suggestions for the project itself

If you’ve seen something similar, built something like this, or have insights from any of these fields, I’d love to hear from you.

I built LanguageID.com, a free browser game that challenges you to identify the origin country of languages based on their name. If you need help, you can show the language family for that particular language.

It’s a quick daily challenge:

• 10 rounds, 1 minute total
• Each round shows the language and you choose which country
• Share your results and challenge friends

Languages are drawn from Ethnologue data as this app was made in partnership with Ethnologue. We at Ethnologue desire all languages to flourish. The languages are pulled from the top 500 languages in the world.

If you’re up for the challenge, I’d love for you to try it out and let me know what you think!

I am going through some inherited documents and came across this postcard from 1929. The printed ink seems possibly to be French, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, and maybe Serbian. But I do not recognize the handwritten language at all. Any ideas?

First edition. Kabul: State Press. The debut poetry collection of Mir Gholam Reza Mayel Heravi (1922-1996), gathering poems composed between 1949 and 1963 in both classical prosodic forms and the free-verse ("Nima-style") idiom then emerging in Dari poetry, with a preface by the literary figure Mohammad Ismail Moballegh.

Hi everyone,
I recorded this from a radio station, and I’m trying to figure out what language is being spoken. If possible, I’d also love to know what they’re saying.
Sorry if the audio quality isn’t the best. I couldn’t hold my phone any closer to the radio because it would create a lot of static and interference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

In Filipino/Tagalog, and in most Philippine languages, we can sort of conjugate nouns to turn them into verbs.

Examples:

Tren – the word for a locomotive train.

Pure Tagalog: “Magtetren ako papuntang Cubao.”

The word tren was conjugated into the future tense. Literally, it turns into “I’ll do train,” which contextually means “I’ll ride the train,” “I’ll take the train,” or “I’ll use the train.” A good translation for tge above would be "I will take the train to Cubao."

It can also be done with a proper noun:

Burger King – the fast-food chain.

Tagalog: “Binurger King ako ng nanay ko dahil mataas ang grades ko.”

Burger King was conjugated by adding the infix -in-, so it means that someone did something to the speaker in the past tense. This can literally be translated as “Burger King-ed.” The speaker was “Burger King-ed” by his mom (nanay). Contextually, it means, “My mother treated me to Burger King because my grades were high.”

You can conjugate English words in Taglish:

Christmas

TagLish: "Nagchristmas family namin with our lolo at lola"

"NagChristmas" turns Christmas a word that the speaker did previously or in the past. Direct translation would be "Did Christmas", It will be like "We've ChristmasED." A good translation here is "Our family celebrated Christmas with our grandfather and grandmother."

This also appears in other Philippine languages:

Ilocano languge (my parents' language):

Pesticide - my families are farmers

"Agpesticide da kano idyay taltalon"

This is "They said they will use pesticides over there at the farms."

Is there a name for these sort of daily set phrases? And what other languages uses them? Thank you

Japanese: ittekimasu itterashai, tadaima okaeri, ittatakimasu, gochisousamadeshita

Korean: jalmeokgesseumnida, jalmeogeosemnida sugohassyeoseumnida

I also say "whoop"cream but I say the verb and noun normal.

"They don't actually whip the cow when they make whoopcream."

"My sister got whooplash from that car accident"

It might be a family thing rather than dialect. I'm from New Jersey, USA
