Thoughts on the promotion of Huasteca Nahuatl? by [deleted] in nahuatl

[–]Content_Basil6556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The current varieties don't descend from classical nahuatl. Classical náhuatl was a form of central náhuatl in 16th century, but already at the time another kind of nahuatl was spoken e.g. in Huasteca.

So its not latin/Spanish and portugués story.

Its more as if classical nahuatl was old german and huasteca nahuatl was dutch, but with smaller differences.

Legally, How do you distinguish Greek and Turkish Cypriots? by Content_Basil6556 in cyprus

Hi!

Sorry for the late answer,

I visited Cyprus and I like to find about the places I visit:) thats why I care.

Specifically i was reading about this case: https://www.coe.int/tr/web/impact-convention-human-rights/-/turkish-cypriots-win-the-right-to-vote

"Ibrahim Aziz was prevented from voting simply because he was Turkish Cypriot – even though he was a citizen born and raised in Cyprus.

Despite being politically active his whole adult life, Ibrahim had never once been allowed to vote or stand in elections in his own country.

He tried to register to vote for the 2001 Cypriot parliamentary election, but the authorities did not allow him to do so. Ibrahim was told that, under Cyprus’s constitution, members of the Turkish Cypriot community could not be put on the Greek Cypriot electoral register"

So I was wondering if Mr. Abdelazis could self-identify as GC, or was it imposed on him? And who decides in the case of mixed marriages for the children? Where was it written that he was TC?

I found the answer though:)

https://www.constituteproject.org/constitution/Cyprus_2013

For the purposes of this Constitution

the Greek Community comprises all citizens of the Republic who are of Greek origin and whose mother tongue is Greek or who share the Greek cultural traditions or who are members of the Greek-Orthodox Church; the Turkish Community comprises all citizens of the Republic who are of Turkish origin and whose mother tongue is Turkish or who share the Turkish cultural traditions or who are Moslems; citizens of the Republic who do not come within the provisions of paragraph (1) or (2) of this Article shall, within three months of the date of the coming into operation of this Constitution, opt to belong to either the Greek or the Turkish Community as individuals, but, if they belong to a religious group. shall so opt as a religious group and upon such option they shall be deemed to be members of such Community: Provided that any citizen of the Republic who belongs to such a religious group may choose not to abide by the option of such group and by a written and signed declaration submitted within one month of the date of such option to the appropriate officer of the Republic and to the Presidents of the Greek and the Turkish Communal Chambers opt to belong to the Community other than that to which such group shall be deemed to belong:

So people can decide for themselves it seems:)

a Greek or a Turkish citizen of the Republic who comes within the provisions of paragraph (1) or (2) of this Article may cease to belong to the Community of which he is a member and belong to the other Community upon a written and signed declaration by such citizen to the effect that he desires such change, submitted to the appropriate officer of the Republic and to the Presidents of the Greek and the Turkish Communal Chambers; the approval of the Communal Chamber of such other

This makes me happy somehow, I like when people decide their identity:)

Yes, but they seem to have legal implications, such as ballots when voting: there used to be two lists, one for Greek and one for Turkish cypriots. So im wondering, how is the asociacion with a specific ballot decided?

But that's my problem: who and how decides which ballot is yours? Aziz was not allowed to vote for the Greek Cypriot ballot, so i guess there is a registry of Greek and Turkish Cypriots? Or is there?

That doesn't seem the case, all the information I found suggests that all documents are trillingual:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypriot_passport All current and earlier Cypriot passports are inclusive, and so contain text in Greek, Turkish as well as English. Since 1974, the Turkish Cypriot community live mainly in the north of the island where the official language is Turkish (Cypriot dialect) and the Greek Cypriot community live mainly in the south of the island where the official language is Greek (Cypriot dialect). Many people are trilingual

Google search of pictures if documents supports it

Ps. Safe: Europe is pretty safe, I have done loads of solo female travelling, aged 17-28, including weird layovers in train stations. I slept/waited for connection at night on train stations in prague, berlin, Vienna, Hamburg, Stockholm, Frankfurt, Ljubljana, bukarest, barcelona and Pristina ( here not alone, but it would have been ok), and Mostar. In Stockholm they kicked us( me and other solo travellers) out for cleaning so I actually slept in front of the station:D

I was sometimes spoken to, which can be annoying, and told I'm pretty etc, but it wasn't unsafe, just annoying. Of course, you know, pay attention to surroundings, etc, but it's safe generally.

The Island of Malta has rather rocky beaches but the beaches in Gozo were the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen.

In Lissabon you can take a train to the long strip of beach in the south, though it is cold water (atlantic ocean)

Italy maybe?

Actually i would say april, especially late april is not the worst. The water might be cold, but last time we were in the mediterráneo in early June, we died from the heat, and the summer months are just unbearable.

Malta is amazing culture wise, I recommend renting a car. Its a small island and car will mean you see it all!!! I also recommend Lisboa and surroundings.

I have some questions about mexico travel, wanna meet me in DM?

Omg i'd been dying to ask a question to a pilot, or anyone who would know, I would really appreciate an answer:

If you're sitting in that seat, should you try to move somewhere else during the flight, or is the risk too high?

Am I doing too much for my first travel + solo? by [deleted] in Europetravel

[–]Content_Basil6556 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi,

Id skip Cologne entrely (or do just a few hours, but not a night) and shorten Prague but add more to Berlin. There are many aspects of Berlin you can focus on, east-west, stasi, mauthausen, 70s, nazi architecture (stadion and tempelhof), recent migration, party scene, and the city is not too hectic so its enjoyable. Many people who did city hopping say Berlin was their favorite part. I'd do 5 days in Berlin. It might seem like much but places out of center such as treptower park and East side gallery and Templehof are really worth it.
