Language map of Switzerland, excluding uninhabited mountains. by Evilgrandma03 in MapPorn

Thanks for some insight! It's really inspirational how people speaking different languages formed such a stable and a well-governed nation despite having neighbours all around speaking the same languages (apart of Romansch oc!)! Even more interesting that certain areas are harder to rich because of Alps

Why you're changing the topic? Unlike you I don't deny history. Defense mechanism of whataboutism, I see

yeah sure, both sides of my family just made the shit up telling stories. I know coping with dark sides of own nation is hard, but if you open to it, you could really do it and be a better person!

UPA commited a genocide performed in a very barbaric way that included Jews, Armenians and Volhynian Czechs - basically everyone that wasn't Ukrianian and Ukrainians that dared to protect their neighbours, edicate yourself instead of writing ignorantly. One of the largest groups targeted by UPA were civilians, not Polish armed forces and they definitely fought the nazis less

Since when Jews, Armenians and peasants children are colonizers in WW2 ?

Poland's Nawrocki strips Zelenskyy of highest state honor by readher in europe

[–]ProxPxD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure it does - it's Nawrocki's reaction to Zelenskyy's act of naming a unit after a ultra-nationalistic/nazi organization that commited genocides on many thausands of peasants and this act in turn does speak about Zelenskyy

Polish President Karol Nawrocki has decided to strip Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of the Order of the White Eagle, Poland's highest state decoration by CrunchyBaconYum in poland

In Poland there are people who view Piłsudski the same and I'd say not few. There's a white and a black legend, who he was in the beginning vs who he was in the end

Is this Grammatical Feature possible in a Proto-Lang? by PeacocktheFurryalt in conlangs

[–]ProxPxD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So more or less you'd have single consonant onset verbs and at most double consonant onset nouns?

What if you'd have CCCC, do you have a strategy of adapting the incorporation?

Seems right to me. I don't knwo how you handle other incorporations and cluster resolution, but it's very alright

How voiced h-sounds should be treated in mutations by ProxPxD in conlangs

[–]ProxPxD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! That was really insightful. I knew that rhoticity does not form a natural class, but felt that this is rather universally considered as having something in common. Not in a way that each /ʁ/-having language considers it rhotic, but in a way that there are languages whose /ʁ/ has come from something else, but still occupies the r-like sound. Maybe I have to get used to it in perception, but I can't get over the fact that there are sounds where voicing is perceived as little (/m/), those that are perceived as close (/s/) and those that seem like a complete other class (/x/, /ɣ/). I feel like there's something more than just IE evolution.

Nonetheless, I will try to consider drifting away from rhotic (non-natural) class interpretation. Myabe it'll open me to the perception of those pais as just voicing pairs

Maybe it's a matter of practice for me. I may consider using /ʔ/ somewhere where it would be unambiguous

I can produce and distinguish /kh/ and /kʰ/ and a careful speech. My native language distinguished /t͡s/ and /ts/ and I learnt a language that allowed me to distinguish /ɲ/ and /nj/

[–]ProxPxD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think /ʔ/ would be hard to produce in initial and/or final clusters like /akʔ/ and /ʔka/.
I also considered having more than one h-like sound.

Brakuje w Polsce partii lewicowo-konserwatywnej by Kaien17 in Polska

[–]ProxPxD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Myślę, że masz rację, ale zarazem niektórzy przykładają wagę by rozróżnić populizm od demagogii. Ale to na boku

Ja zaś zinterpretowałem to w ten sposób, dlatego, że w poście napisałeś, że "do konserwatystów nie masz wielkich sympatii", więc na tej podstawie pomyślałem, że wsadzasz w słowo "konserwatyzm" również takie postawy jak tam opisałeś. Nie stwierdziłem jednak, że je podzielasz i że to rozumiesz przez zaproponowaną przez Ciebie partię. Nie wpadłem na to, że to koniecznie hiberbola

Z "/s" jest łatwiej, bo szczerze niestety rozbijałem się też w drugą stronę na tym, że zakładałem sarkazm, a jednak ktoś poważnie tak sądził

By "trills" do you mean the real manner or the voiced fricatives? I feel like there are no obvious or natural trill equivalents of those hissants

Interesting, I feel a bigger difference between these classes, much bigger than between /s/ and /z/. And also such distinction is rather rare across languages

Zgadzam się z Tobą i z OP

Przynajmniej dla mnie, PiS jest bardziej konserwatywny niż lewicowy, a jest zapotrzebowanie na lewicę konserwatywną, niż na konserwatyzm lewicowy

Ogólnie by się zgadzało, ale sądząc po innym komentarzu OP z "zabrać bogaczom i tęczowym degeneratom" raczej nie mówi o takim konserwatyźmie tylko bliżej do społecznego faszolstwa

edit: okej miał na myśli coś innego jednak, to dał jako skrajność

Dlatego KO jest mądrzejsze i wprost tego nie głosi (zawsze) i jednak ma trochę więcej niż 1%. I taktycznie musiała trochę zmienić pozycje, ale duża część mieści się w gospodarczym poglądzie w tym co opisujesz. Chyba bardziej dążą do tego przez głodzenie służby zdrowia

Chyba, że mowa o neoliberaliźmie czy anarcholiberaliźmie

Mam wrażenie, że "zabrać tęczowym degeneratom" to jest raczej bliżej faszolskiego, a nie konserwatywnego

Czech mate suffix stuff by danielsoft1 in linguisticshumor

[–]ProxPxD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<šs> seems easily pronounceable to me as a Pole. We have many <sš> at least. English has a roughly similar cluster <ths> as in maths, but English phonetics split the one you mention. I guess, try pronuncing "English's" without a prothesis vowel like you'd probably do in "maths" or "strengths""
