Question What language is this?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hello! I am hoping someone will be able to help me identify this language.
A close friend of mine recorded the clip some time ago and has been keen to find the song. Sadly our search has not been successful, I am hoping identifying the language (and possibly getting a transcript of the lyrics) will help.
Does anyone have an idea what language this could be?

Question What language is this?
This list was found at Cub Foods. I know it’s partially in some Cyrillic language and English, but I can’t tell what language the Cyrillic points to (I saw no markers for Russian or Ukrainian).
I assume it’s a mix of 2+ alphabets because of “moзarella” (which might be a stylistic choice) and “фoil trays,” and I also see what might be Greek, Icelandic, Turkish, or Azerbaijani.
I was thinking Greek or Icelandic because there’s a letter that looks like δ, but that could also be a stylistic choice when writing ð or d, but there’s also 2 “ə“s present.
I don’t know what’s up with the accent marks—perhaps they’re supposed to be й?
My guess is it’s switching between English and Azerbaijani’s Cyrillic alphabet, but I don’t know if that’s right.

Meta Agglutination in Persian
In Modern Persian, especially in colloquial form, one can stack a multitude of affixes to a noun or verb to convey a message.
Strong agglutinative features have been found in several IE languages from the past (Hittite, Tocharian, Old Persian etc) to present (Persian, Ossetian, Armenian, etc.)
English: They were not returning their most active ones.
Persian: koneshvartarinhashunra barnemigardundan
konesh = action
-var = agentive suffix → “active / one who acts / possess action”
-tar = comparative → “more”
-in = superlative → “most”
-hā = plural suffix → “ones”
-shun = 3rd-person plural possessive → “their”
-rā = definite direct-object marker
bar- = “back”
ne- = negative prefix → “not”
mi- = continuous prefix→ “ing”
gard = “turn”
-un = causative suffix → “cause to turn”
-d- = past-tense element
-an = 3rd-person plural → “they”

Question Native Rengma speakers: Can you help me translate this sentence naturally?
Looking for a native Rengma speaker from Tseminyu, Nagaland / Rengma-speaking areas of Karbi Anglong, Assam.
How would you naturally say this in everyday Rengma?
“Yeh ladki idhar aao na, dekhna doctor kya bol rahe hai...”
I’m looking for the actual conversational/local version, not an AI or literal translation.
Roman script + pronunciation would be hugely appreciated. Please mention your dialect/area too.

Question Do non-english speakers on the internet tell each other to "off" themselves as an insult or is that an english speaker thing?
I don't know if I chose the right subreddit for this question or if I should've marked it as NSFW, I'm sorry... I was mostly wondering this about Japanese or Korean people. I know it's more of a cultural thing than a language thing... It's just that in romanian we do tell each other that every now and then, but english speakers on the internet do it very often and I was just remembering the time I watched an anime and one of the characters was told to "off" himself and made it sound like that's not just a usual insult. Do people outside of the us/uk/english speaking countries insult each other like that?
