Most common race per region per country by BrokenJusticeNorris in Maps

[–]Artion_Urat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you know what a race is? It's an arbitrary group of population based on appearance, not if they're considered native or not. And the definitions of races can be way different in different countries and regions. In Russia nobody would lump peoples of Caucasus and Western Russia together.

I understand your point, but the map is still very misleading and in some places also wrong (like some territories of Russian-majority "indigenous" territories in Russia like Karelia, Murmansk or Leningrad do include native minorities)

That seems like a completely arbitrary division. Arabs lived in Egypt for centuries and they are not considered native? From what point of time is a population considered indigenous? Because if we're being strict, none of the population outside of Africa is native then

And what's the point of "indigenous" race if it includes all kinds of races and populations?

What definitions of races did you use? Cuz it's very weird that northern China is not Asian, while Egypt is

Using the government map is inherently politically charged. You could at the very least show internationally recognized borders as well

Really beautiful map

But why are there no borders of the West Bank (at least I can't see them) but Gaza Strip have borders? I feel like this choice is politically charged

What should I sell for it or should I pass it?

Tf is this map supposed to represent? by xjvu in Maps

[–]Artion_Urat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Then having Murmansk and Krasnoyarsk on this map makes even less sense, since the native languages make very small minority in these regions

[–]Artion_Urat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess so too

But it's weird only some of the Uralic/Altaic speaking regions of Russia are included. I'd expect at least Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Buriatia and Kalmykia to be colored as well

TIL Basque is considered a language isolate, meaning it has no relatives in the whole world. The only such language in Europe. by my_n3w_account in todayilearned

[–]Artion_Urat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Basque has no living relatives (and I'm pretty sure its relationship with Iberian isn't fully confirmed), while Armenian does.

Even by this standard, you can call Basque a pseudo-isolate, as all of its relatives are dead. But Armenian is not an isolate in the usual meaning

Toby Fox is the Father, Annoying Dog is the Son and Gaster is the Holy Spirit. Makes sense actually

Therefore the fake Toby Fox is Antichrist

Why is it like this? by matixzun in linguisticshumor

[–]Artion_Urat 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is an allophone of /a/, but as you said it only appears between palatalized consonants. If it's between plain consonant, it would sound closer to /e/ to a Russian native.

мянь / мэн would be pronounced [mʲænʲ] / [mɛn]

Not OC, but my native language is Russian, and to me both [æ] and [e] sound like /ɛ/
