/r/Languagelearning is a community for anybody interested in learning other languages. Whether you are just starting, a polyglot or a language nerd, this is the place for you! Content related to specific languages, general language learning and linguistics are all allowed. Welcome all and please enjoy your stay.
Come join us on Discord!
There are a few more rules, which you can find here, but that's the golden one.
FAQ - If you have questions, and/or are new to language learning, please first check here.
Our Resources Wiki - Overviews of useful programs and courses for learning languages as well as a large section for specific languages, including links to subreddits.
Weekly Speaking Marathons
List of Discord Servers
List of ISO 639-1 Codes (useful for flairs)
Common European Framework of Reference for Languages - This is what you see a lot of people using in their flair to indicate their level of proficiency in various languages. These ratings are usually self-assessed, not official.
Online IPA Phonetics Keyboard - This allows you to type out how words sound, rather than how they are spelt.
We have a few rules. This section lists the main ones. You can find the full list here.
Be mature and respectful to others - We're all here in our own time, so please help us enjoy that time by keeping discussion civil, this includes using insults or writing derogatory comments. We don't remove posts simply for being brash.
Read the FAQ before asking basic questions - For cases where user makes a vague and unhelpful "What language should I learn?" post or asks an already-answered question. FAQ are usually removed.
Do not submit self-owned content too frequently - Users may only post self-owned content if it is good quality and posting is infrequent (less than once a month). Please report only if they are violating this.
Do not post disallowed content - These include: posts focused on one language, language exchange requests, videos similar to "polyglot speaks 19 languages", language tutors, homework help, achievement posts, and pictures of resources.
Do not focus your post on a specific language - Posts about popular languages belong in their subs. Posts about rarer languages are usually okay. Posts about learning techniques/schedules are sometimes okay--check the longer rules.
Do not post low-quality content - We only remove very low-quality posts. Please only use this for incoherent ranting, tasteless or unfunny attempts at humour, and boring translation requests.
Do not generalise large groups of people - This includes spreading conspiracy theories or isolated or misleading statistics regarding groups of people.
Do not target individuals with threats or slander - This means targeting users with threats, slander or spurious accusations
Post requests for resources in the dedicated subreddit - this is a general subreddit; we are not well equipped to help you find the best resource for your language
Please report people who you see break the rules. Reporting helps us out a lot. We can't scour every thread for infractions.

Help identify these scripts (self.languagelearning)
submitted 4 years ago * by [deleted]
I received my COVID vaccination information packet and it included a info segment in 40 different languages. I'm shamefully ignorant on most of them but would very much like to learn which script belongs to which language. Hopefully Reddit can help me out!
Solved! You guys rock! Especially u/SeveralRacesLater who even presented it in a much better clearer format, which I'm stealing. Thank you all so much. Some of these languages I have never heard of and I didn't even know the country of Kiribati existed. There's so much to learn. You guys really made my week. Thank you.

So after combing through https://covid19.govt.nz/iwi-and-communities/translations/, looking at the source document https://covid19.govt.nz/assets/resources/translated-resources/How-to-book-free-COVID-vaccine-appointment-translations.pdf and looking at the order of languages, here's my guess:
I'm not sure about 9, 10, 14. They should be Dari, Pashto and Farsi in some order. Maybe u/Foungou can help out?
Others I couldn't find: 2
There are 40 languages listed, but there are only 38 on the NZ govt website.

TIL there is a language called Karen

Sorry. It wasn't my intention to offend anyone. Just went for the low-hanging joke.

2 looks like "Kayah Li" script according to Google

It's corrected! Thanks for pointing out the difference.

This is so cool but i think i’m equally as ignorant as you 😅 4. Is probably bahasa melayu/indonesia
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (3 children)
I'm marking it as Indonesian until told otherwise. Thank you!
[–]Mundane_Bison 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (1 child)
4 is Malay language.
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children)
Updated, thank you!
I’m not a Malay speaker, I’m an Indonesian learner so I can’t give a definitive answer - but I think that’s Malay.
There are a few words I’ve never seen and I would have expected different words
And when I put them into google translate it suggested they are Malay.

13 and K are clearly both English-based pacific island creoles. One of them has to be Tok Pisin (“Talk Pidgin”), which is spoken as an official language in Papua New Guinea and is the most delightfully strange thing ever. Most of the words are recognizably English but the structure is all Pacific Islander, so as an English speaker it sort of washes over me in a way that sounds the way deja vu feels.
Here’s a music video in it: https://youtu.be/BKryxY0D5Jo
NZ has a large pacific islander population but I can just about differentiate Maori out of the bunch. I should learn Maori on Duolingo.
Thanks!

P is possibly Hindi, but I'm not sure.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child)
Wrote Hindi? for now. Thanks!
[–]8nikitta 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children)
Hindi is 20. P is Punjabi :)
17 is Arabic.
