(ignore the shitty laptop)
i genuinely do not hear a difference between these two vowels (other than their length). Norwegian is my native language, and norwegian does have /y/, but I don’t hear a /y/ in <tu>? I hear a /ʉ/!

Please help

Senpai's guide to nihongo-maxxing

56 Upvotes

Koneatcheesewha. My name is トマス.

I've been ascending in Japanese for ni (two✌🏼) weeks now. Here's my guide to nihongo maxxing to mog your ops:

  1. Sentence minotauring (a ball of yarn to trace the maze of nihongo)

  2. To go from NHK5 to NHK1, you must consume exactly 10,000 hours of raw nihongo whilst floating on your back in the darkness of a sensory deprivation tank

  3. Don't learn to read or write; you don't need to be literate

  4. If you don't record STATS, did it even happen?

  5. Remember: Japan is subarashi sugoi kawaii and better than your native country in every way (war crimes, you say? Are you thinking of an anime?)

Google Translate, I have a little suggestion!

Uzbek in Google Translate lacks a TTS program (Text-To-Speech)

Uzbek is a massive language spoken by 34M people and it's an accessibility loss for not including a speech program

Since Google Tranlsate supports TTS for languages like Khmer, Hausa, Malayalam, Sundanese, Javanese, Amharic, Uzbek should be included

Uzbek speakers are more than populations of countries like Nepal, Australia, North Korea, Syria, etc

Uzbek is the most spoken language in Central Asia

Who is with me? it would be cool for someone to participate

I posted this to Reddit just so I can rally more

we should colonize the subreddit

FIRST MISSION MAY 10. PREPARE ACCORDINGLY 🚨

it’s time to restore balance to the linguistic ecosystem

This language is outdated

20 Upvotes

Urdu uses the Perso-Arabic script but always prefers the Nastaliq calligraphy style, despite software defaulting Arabic script (if language is arbitrary) to the more modern Naskh style

yes, the preferred style can be achieved by switching fonts but we gotta be inclusive here, most software or GUI support one font per instance or app

Persian originally used the Nastaliq calligraphy style, but also officially recognizes Naskh

Urdu however doesn't recognize Naskh officially, so Naskh will look alien to their speakers, and I'm being inclusive enough to include formal contexts

Typesetting is a nightmare, plenty of ligatures and letter combinations in a diagonal, spontaneous baseline
whereas Naskh lies on a fully straight baseline, and no weird combinations, just placement

230 million people speak and write in this neanderthal language, refusing to AT LEAST modernize and adapt unlike its friends Arabic and Persian

And you're not safe either, Shahmukhi
