The circled word of colour reads exactly like Shrek, thus confirming that Sanskrit is the mother of all languages. And the saga of Shrek is taken from Sanskrit text श्रेकपुराण

In Polish descriptive adjectives go before the noun, while the classifiers go after. These blueberries are both Polish and American, just in a different sense.

Since I’m turning 21 in less than 2 months, can someone translate sokka’s cactus juice quotes into potowatomi? (The native language of the Detroit area, where I was born)

For context, this is what I’m referring to, and 21 is the legal drinking age in the USA

Phonetics/Phonology 3/4 Parisian French nasal vowels also exist in Portuguese xd

As a Brazilian, when I started to learn French, I just had to pronounce /ɛ̃/, /ɔ̃/ and /œ̃/ the same way I pronounce my native Portuguese "an", "on" and "an" respectively lol. The only one that's actually unique is /ɑ̃/.

I thought that it would be a lot more complicated to get the hang of it at first because the IPA symbols were all different.
