I know 5 pretty well, I am working on my 6th...so yeah I notice some similarities and differences between them w.r.t structure/syntax.

I didn't know what the exact words for describing these (many short words vs one long huge word etc) was till more recently.
Wow, which languages are those?

What is the reason of you to learn 6 languages ??? :eek:

LOL you are a diligent person he he. I am not quite diligent actually, I have some intention to learn Arabic so that I can understand Quran even more despite there are already a translated version but I am so lazy to do so.... :rolleyes:

Wow, which languages are those?

1) Tamil (Mother tongue) --- also lets me understand a large part of the 3 other major dravidian languages
2) English (I know this one the best, learned from very young age, pretty much mother tongue too)
3) Sanskrit/Hindi, learned/acquired over time
4) Cantonese (Spent long time growing up in Hong Kong, i picked up largely the spoken vernacular)....I can't read/write it well though, i mostly learned "jyutping/pinyin" for written, i.e using latin script at the time
5) French , started learning in middle school + high school....then found use for it here in Canada on top. Speaking in day to day life is really best way to learn and improve so fast, more than any schooling etc.

6th one I'm learning in free time now is Mandarin....since I figured I already have the "base" (from spoken cantonese) and thus not a far distance to improve my chinese character (reading) knowledge and learn mandarin sound for it (at same time to "link" with my spoken cantonese).

I might as well because I plan later in life to write a lot about China and augment my study I have done so far...and there is no substitute to knowing the language well to do this. I feel I need to do my part to help people (esp Indians) understand China more....as large part of other societies do not understand key context for it....there is paucity of practical Sinologists etc.

I’m satisfied with the 4 I can, though I’d probably get by with my german if needed. I forgot nearly all the french I learned.

Askerlerimizi şehit edildiği günün yıldönümünde bu haberi manşetten vermek, bunun haberinin yapmak ve bu haberin kaynağı olan demeci vermek..
biraz "şey" değil mi?

Guys did anyone from you noticed how Kurds are trying to build a history on their own especially on Turkish Wikipedia articles?

They continouosly twist facts and add "Kurdish" names, part of Turkish Kekostan, majority Kurds... by using sources like Rudaw, K24 even Twitter posts.
Randomly did a research about Göbeklitepe after watching a interesting video and noticed it.

"Göbekli Tepe (Turkish: [gœbecˈli teˈpe],[1] "Potbelly Hill"),[2] also known as Girê Mirazan or Xirabreşkê (Kurdish)"
The used source is K24

Then i digged a little bit deepe by clicking on "Sanli Urfa province" whe i found this...
"Şanlıurfa Province (Turkish: Şanlıurfa ili, Kurdish: Parêzgeha Rihayê‎[2]) or simply Urfa Province is a province in southeastern Turkey. The city of Şanlıurfa is the capital of the province which bears its name. The population is 1,845,667 (2014). The province is considered part of Turkish Kurdistan[3] and has a Kurdish majority[4] with a significant Arab and Turkish minority."

Wikipedia needs to burn to be honest.

Check the Byzantine-Seljuk Wars it says the overall victory goes to the Byzantines.

Tell me how the hell do the byzantines get victory?? When the Seljuks even took a huge chunk of anatolia and the mass migration of Turkmens into Anatolia which led to the Byzantines losing most of Anatolia forever even before the Ottomans the Byzantines were losing despite some resurgence thanks to the Seljuk Empire collapsing into infighting and the crusades which allowed the Byzantines to reinsurge under the Komenos dynasty.

Does wikipedia forget the crusades began when the byzantines begged for help against the Seljuk onslaught??

Wikipedia needs to crash and burn. No wonder universities in Australia banned wikipedia as a source I kid you not this pissed off a lot of students then you realise why as time goes.

It was forbidden for us to use Wikipedia as source in school exactly for these reasons, every hobbyless prick can change something there, with using K24 as "reliable" source, hillarious that Wikipedia accepts it.

And then there are people believing it.

Nobody uses Turkish Kurdistan if they mean by Kurdistan was used as a geographical term to denoate the regions where Kurds were present.

The word Kurdistan was used by the Turks as a geographical term. Geographical terms change there is a reason why we dont even use Turkish Kurdistan, Anatolia, Gaul, Hispania, Scthyia, Bithynia, Albania(Caucasus), Iberia(modern day Georgia).

Geographical terms come and go and especially today they are rendered obsolete thanks to Nation states. Still used for history or archeology or to explain terms of certain regions rather than using modern terms.

Kurds believe the use of Kurdistan grants them a nation state 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Not to mention how they overblow their land claims majority of the lands they claim is not even Kurdish. Lets not forget the ethnic cleansing they engaged in. Kurds benefitted from Saddam Hussein oppressing the Iraqi Turkmens. I mean how did the Kurds become the majority in Kirkuk because it was depopulated.

Ottoman Empire used a lot of Geographical terms many rendered obsolete over time. Also the Kurds come from the Zagros Mountains which is in Iran. They spread over to the Middle East just as the Turks were conquering the region. They only settled in Eastern Turkiye to form a wall against the Safavids.

I googled "Parêzgeha Rihayê", google returned 22 results.
Then i googled "Şanlıurfa", google returned ", google returned 35.000.000 results.
Lothlórien is a town name in Elvish (invented language by Tolkien), google returns 1.060.000 results.

Inventing new names doesn't necessarily impacts anything.
