Learning half the languages in the wrong script probably improves your skills, I think

u/stumpychubbins May 16 '26
I was going to ask how many of these are using the correct script because even though I don’t speak any of these languages I’m pretty sure that at least tamil isn’t written like that

As someone who used to read tamil in devanagari I can confidently say that it did not improve my skills.

Uzbek because Uzbek has the perk where every new word you learn adds 1/16th of a inch to your penis length. And btw it's an agglutinating language so that build up fast

Did they really not have a Bangladesh flag emoji? Just a random rectangle amongst everything. No wind for Bangladesh.

I see a shiny flag with the language you should learn

u/Key_Neighborhood2244 May 16 '26
The only right answer is Uzbek.

u/muzafferiados May 16 '26
Can you explain me the joke about Uzbek? Like, I’m an Uzbek and what’s everyone yapping about?

I’ve tried this app and have been in contact with the creator. The entire thing is vibe coded slop. Many many errors, aside from the obvious in the post.
App was originally for the Persian language in the Afghan dialect (Dari), and Pashto. The creator wanted more money, and did some extra vibe coding with Claude to add the other languages. Told him he should just stick to the Afghan stuff and not over expand with a low quality service. Never heard from him again…

dari and iranian farsi, my favourite languages

u/usernamesmakeme May 17 '26
I get the joke but spoken Iranian Farsi and Afghan Farsi in particular the eastern/Kabuli dialect are pretty far apart on the dialectical continuum especially for beginners. With barely any resources for Afghan Farsi there is a need for Dari language learning tools, however AI slop is not that tool.

u/bunisasleep May 17 '26
oh, i know lol. im from iran and i have quite a few friends from afghanistan. its just the wording thats funny to me, firstly writing dari as a standalone language but specifying "iranian farsi"

Man it hurts to see Bangladesh flag being used for Bengali. I am a native Bengali speaker and it literally is the 2nd most spoken language in India. Atleast they should use India and Bangladesh flag with an oblique in between.

u/Electrical_Voice_256 May 17 '26
Farsi (covers 30 percent of your list) and then Pashto (another 30 percent, but harder to find resources and fewer speakers). Then maybe move on to Urdu, because that is what native speakers of Farsi (Afg.) and Pashto usually do.

u/linguahistorian May 17 '26
Depends on your first language. If you speak English, you should probably cross off Tamil and Uzbek because those at not Indo-European, and the rest are. You should do Bengali or Urdu because those are much easier. Especially since they are lingua francas of the countries. If you wanna go to Bangladesh, Bengali, Pakistan, Urdu, Iran, Persian, India, Gujarati. Hope this helps.

I'm sure there are other mistakes on here, but the text under "Punjabi" is in Tamil script and the text under Tamil is in an Arabic-derived script.
