When I was younger, there was a clip on the news of Saddam writing something (it looked like he was making notes on a pad, rather than signing a document) and of course, he was writing right to left, in 'Arabic'... My mum said ''Isn't he clever, writing like that,'' I said ''Why? He's been writing like that all his life, that's how they write...'' I was just listening to a podcast, where it said that some Ukrainian minister had written one word ''calm down'', and the American host who had been reading the article, then had to add ''Well that's two words...'' but the thought occurred to me: What if it is only one word in Ukrainian, like 'tranquilo' means 'calm down'...? So, I went to Deepl translator, typed 'calm down', and selected Ukrainian, and, although I can't read Cyrillic, yes, that's right, it was one word (of about 8-10 letters) Confirmed my initial intuition, and my theory that some people really can't think outside the box of their own experience, and forget that if an article is translated from one language to another, things may not match up 100% correctly, and that some things do 'get lost in translation' 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ Learn languages, it'll open your mind to new possibilities 👍👍👍👍 ''Words build bridges into unexplored regions'' - A.H.

I don't have any formal education on language, but I've always been interested in words and origins, of accents and how language travels and evolves. Idk how to say it, but it seems we use the same sound, yet it is much more subdued.

[@Sp8e]

First accent. A brand has a lizard 🦎. Do you know why? I also don't know. One of our very respected elder told us the language was given to us by the people who came to earth from the sky(heavens) , they had reptile (lizards)faces very ugly yet very kind hearted.. Zulu means heaven or sky. Hence the Zulu people they long believed unkulunkulu(the greatest of them greats) came from the sky. I read in the Zulu book where they mentioned 30+ words that sounded very similar to Greek and Latin, guess what? Zulus never mixed or even met people speaking Latin and Greek . Never even in the past. How did it happen that Zulus have similar words to Latin and Greek?

I was never fluent in Zulu but i was able to ask basic questions and understand a lot of basic stuff. I passed Zulu at an 8th grade lever. I think because i was learning the language at a young age i was and still am able to make the sounds in the middle of the words. It is still funny to hear my dad say Zulu words completely wrong lol. He was never able to use the clicks in the middle of the words. I think learning at a young age is pretty important for this kind of stuff. P.S. i am a basic ass American white boy so its kind of funny to see peoples reactions in RSA when i would start speaking Zulu to them.
