Dialects and languages dying in Texas

[Darth Wagtaros]

That's a bit overly critical, Slargos. Whites have a future in Texas, as well as hispanics. It it a successful fusion there- Texas is a multicultural success story, as far as such things exist.

Like hell.  Texas is a Yugo-Slavia waiting to happen.

While there are some remarkable languages out there that are on the endangered species list, are "Texas German" and "Texas Czech" really worthy of study?

Send some linguists up here.  Yukon has a dozen or so first nations languages, all spoken by very few people, that are at risk of being forgotten to history.

Fuck the Injuns.

Some are.

I am concerned about the near extinction of Breton and Cornish.  The rest can be fucked for all Mb cares.

Cornish has been extinct since the 18th century or so.  It's anybody's guess how many people still speak Breton, since there are no language stats for France that have any real claim to accuracy.

Well, from the first time through, I still remember the red-headed hottie who stopped me for some ongoing road-construction work somewhere between Whithorse and the border.

I remember him trying a Albertan hott chicks, but nary a Yukon one.

That's the ticket.

I read an interesting article recently about what they called "Globish" - a dumbed-down version of English. Most non-native speakers only know about 1500-2000 words, don't understand idioms etc. That's actually a big problem for the British diplomats at the EU apparently. Everybody there speaks English and understands each other just fine - until the British appear and speak in their much more complicated English that no one gets.

I'm always being told by foreigners that they find it much easier to understand each other than natives.
I've heard this too about 2000 words and in my language learning have tried to get those 2000 words in, it doesn't quite work out though when everyone else uses more appropriate, more complicated words.
