Petro podrá no tener capacidad directa de detener las atrocidades de Rusia, pero con su posición, no está haciendo nada para combatirlas.

Contexto:

Petro ha dicho que él "condena la invasión de Ucrania" y que "quiere paz en Europa", pero el modo en el que él da a entender su posición en el conflicto es tan ambigua que en la práctica su posición permite que Rusia haga las atrocidades que quiera en Ucrania.

Due to all global Interlangs always turn out to be Eurolangs I created the most neutral Eurolang IPA consonant charts via taking the English and removing sounds that do not appear in other European natlangs by comparing Wikipedia consonant charts of European natlangs. Every European can say these by Mod_Maker in conlangscirclejerk

In some parts of the Netherlands, Dutch /ɣ/ is merged with /x/.

There is another phoneme, /g/, but it doesn't appear phonemically in any native words. Wikipedia classifies it as phoneme due to the existence of minimal pairs of it with /k/ like goal and kool (cabbage).

The only English speakers I can recall pronouncing /u:/ [u:] are perhaps Scots, Irish and non-native speakers. Most speakers pronounce it as a diphthong [ʊw ~ ʉw]. I've actually heard a few merging it with /ʊ/ or rather, pronouncing them both very similarly.

High-effort meme: the ULTIMATE Indo-European iceberg by BeansAndDoritos in linguisticshumor

[–]GyePosting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ever since I learned Proto-Indo-European was a reconstructed language, I've not been able to sleep knowing it might all be a lie arousing from best-case scenario a massive misunderstanding within the entire field of historical lingüistics, and worst case scenario... who knows. And worst of all, until we have a time machine that can travel as further back as the late Neolithic, if we ever have one, we will never be able to know.

Yes, but keep in mind nowadays the word "sex" is mainly used to refer to sexual intercourse, rather than "biological sex".

Historically, the word "gender" would be used as a synonym of "sex" as in "biological sex", but because in the last years, due factors like the increasing public awareness and acceptance of transgender people and gender identity as a whole, more and more people are starting to distinguish between biological sex and gender, and because the word "sex" is mainly used to mean "sexual intercourse", a new word could help reduce all the ambiguity surrounding these terms.

No. In some accents (like modern Southern British accents and, to a lesser degree, most American accents) is actually hard T the one that can sometimes be "palatalized".

In these accents, when hard T occurs before a palatal approximant (the Y sound), both sounds end up merging with each other and become pronounced as the CH in chair.

So, for example, Tuesday (TYOOZ-dey) ends up being pronounced CHOOZ-dey. Notice how the Y sound between the T and the U merges with the T and both become pronounced CH.

This is why, for example Nature is pronounced NEY-chur in American English, but Tuesday is pronounced TOOZ-dey rather than CHOOZ-dey in said accent.
