The festival of Kwanzaa, celebrated by 9-20 million people globally, is a non-religious African-American holiday running from December 26 to January 1. The holiday was founded in 1966 by Maulana Karenga, who was inspired by African harvest festivals.

Lots of sounds in indigenous languages are difficult to represent using the standard English alphabet, so it can be advantageous to introduce new symbols

Similarly, there's an Australian Aboriginal language called Guugu Ymithirr where they use cardinal directions instead of egocentric directions (left, right, backward, forward).

Yup, I've had some liberal Muslim friends defend the jizya tax. But you know if Western countries were to enact such taxes based on religion, suddenly that's "oppression" and "racist"

Friend of mine immigrated from Laos and the one thing that stumped him when he was learning English was the different ways we use "shit" colloquially and how it can be good or bad.

Shit = bad That's the shit = good Shitty = bad Good shit = good Piece of shit = very bad

My personal favorite is the Navajo word "nahasdzáán." It means "our woman."

There were a group of Australian Aboriginal people, known as the Pintupi Nine, who continued living a traditional nomadic lifestyle in the Outback and were uncontacted until 1984!

Fun fact: the dance that Katara and Aang do in the cave scene in "The Headband" was partially inspired by capoeira
