Old @Test7 DP summoned! :D

Yes, after all the economy (GDP is just estimate of it) is basically reflection of knowledge, competence and relevance of the population's activities.....we all have the same amount of time bequeathed to us each day. The problem in Pakistan compared to major developing countries as a group is...

They had not much option, their economy is structured suboptimally and limited from get go by 3 times smaller population compared to AZ. Armenia did not have much adequate fiscal space that can sustainably acquire, absorb and integrate newer technology (after say paying the bills for regular...

The chances of that are low as Pakistan capital+stock market seems to have stabilised last few years (at around 50billion market cap) rather than (use external funds + bonds) to support the earlier peak (90 billion market cap under Nawaz Sharif admin)....i.e currency devaluation was done...

Yes this is true. It depends on what Russia decides to do w.r.t Armenia. Armenia is quite poor country in the region....highly dependent on its diaspora...and also the crucial time in USSR breakup to make its moves it did then (again with lot of Russian and diaspora assistance). The terrain of...

I always wondered about Turkics and Mongols given their environment and the psyche that likely was needed to tough it out and survive. Tungusics and such had (Siberian) forests to hide in and defend well there....but you can't do that in open steppe, you have nowhere to hide and not much you...

I'll be watching this thread for updates. This kind of topic is one I find super fascinating to read about. @Joe Shearer

Yeah apparently norwegians have it best in understanding everyone else. They can understand both Danes and Swedes fairly well. They also have a language undercurrent thing going with bokmal (very close to your Danish) vs nynorsk. I guess Icelandic is most different given their distance from...

I have altered the deal....pray I don't alter it any further.... Wonder how much of that we gonna be seeing. I guess the big part to see will be the handover of every other part of occupied AZ (outside of N-K zone) back to AZ this year.

Yes Tamil is basically one language. You can say different regions have dialects. Anyone that knows one dialect can follow another one without too much difficulty. There is lot of options to go to a "Standard/written/official" language too to make things easier too...as these are defined and...

Interesting, I suppose all turkic languages are agglutinative due to sharing same proto-ancestor that defined this core feature (i.e putting many word shortforms/bits to make one larger word to convey meaning..."morphemes" as they are known). This features heavily in my mother tongue Tamil as...

750k deaths in wehrmacht in just 3 (summer) months of 1944. About 150k in normandy area and 600k in Eastern Front (operation bagration). Near unimaginable today for todays major armies in today's world. But this scale even relative to ww2 is immense....especially given the continued...
