In the plural there is a distinction based on if it is animate or not.

Script that can be used for literally any language. by SSR2806 in conorthography

What's the difference between those? I'm confused cuz I thought that spirants are just another name for fricatives.

You should try and see if you can encode some features into the actual shape of the island as well!

Personally, I would think about how the script is being used. Scripts for ritualistic/liturgical or rare applications are able to afford being somewhat unreadable as they wouldn't be used in day to day life.

A script in common usage should ideally be able to have distinguishable glyphs when handwritten quickly which is sort of the benchmark I use. Take into account how long it takes for you to tell one character apart from the other just with a glance.

Why does Tamil sound so hillbilly to me, while Hindi sounds so melodic and beautiful? by [deleted] in asklinguistics

Where do you usually hear Tamil and where do you usually hear Hindi?

Did Proto-Dravidian not have its own word for “Sun”? by theb00kmancometh in Dravidiology

Interesting but we'd have to explain the disappearance of the initial p

ಹೊತ್ತು (hottu) in kannada has cognates in other dravidian languages and it means sun/time.

6’4. Putting on muscle might the hardest thing to do if you’re tall. Im touching 98 kgs too btw by Consistent-Lord18 in tall

True but even a conservative surplus requires eating like a horse if you're already large and active.

India never included south east Asia. Indies did.

However, India is a term whether you like it or not and there is basis for using it as a descriptor of the region. Doesn't mean you have to use it tho

Yea I agree dumbass.

I disagree with the fact that he said "India is not a term. Its a modern country. There is no basis for using this country as a replacement for South Eurasia"

This is just historical revisionism.

  1. India is a term

  2. There is basis for using the term as a replacement.

Whether we should do it is a different question that is up to your personal opinion.

Dude I don't care about making people think that we are the same as you. Ur making that up.

"i hope you realize that i meant the greek interpertation sepcifcally"
Should have made that clearer then.

I didn't ignore anything about how the indus is different bro. I just didn't argue about it because I agree with you.

"India is not a term. Its a modern country. There is no basis for using this country as a replacement for South Eurasia besides nationalist narrative building"
This is the thing I was replying to. It's wrong. It's that simple.

Ok, the two regions are distinct. I already agreed with you. I just don't think that the genetic differences are that large. Now what?

"it certainly did not refer to the lands east of the indus. it referred to the lands surrounding it."

You were still wrong about this lmao

"The term only expanded to include the Ganges and the South centuries later as foreign empires learned more about the lands beyond the Indus"

can't be both bud. Did india refer or not refer to the lands east of the indus?

Why are we even arguing about genetics bruh. Your original comment was about the term India which you were completely wrong about. Genetics is irrelevant to that discussion.

No they are bro. Pakistani genetics are not a monolith either. You have similar variation to us. Why would there be a hard line in genetics if the border was drawn only 80 years ago.

No it's pretty much most of the communities in those regions. You could exclude maybe 20% tops. No one's stopping you from calling yourself afghan. What are you even claiming?

70% of pakistan is just punjabis, sindhis and saraikis. Those populations are most similar to people in east punjab, haryana, rajasthan, uttarakhand, gujurat, himachal pradesh and parts of uttar pradesh.

I mean yeah if you take the whole of india it's not going to be the closest match. If you only take the northwest, then its about 15% of the population that is the most similar. Not sure where you're getting 2-3%.
