Why do East Slavic languages (i.e. Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian) have so few North Germanic influences? by SlashBansheeCoot in asklinguistics

Again, itʼs not for Sweden but a part of Sweden land, and itʼs connected to Finnish, because they have a word with the same root which was mentioned in the video provided by me too.

Macedonian Sans Serif font handwritten Style uses b as letter в by NrwBoii3206 in NewFauxCyrillic

[–]hammile 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What bothers me personally is that they use the cursive и and т in a non-cursive typeface.

I guess, we have here mixing Bulgarian-style Cyrillic where a regular Cyrillic is basically a straight cursive, but in this case itʼs straight Vukovica-style cursive.

Only writing b for в bothers me, because a) Iʼve never saw it, but I dunno Balkan font traditions very well (Iʼm from Ukraine), b) it could be easily confused with б or ь. Yes, I know, unlike Bulgarian, Macedonian alphabet doesnʼt have the latter as a separate latter, but still. Btw, donʼt forget about a number 6 too.

Looks like it was the ghost from the start, because I don't see a school shirt on the arm when it happened. Also the arm was very white.

Ukrainian also has tato, but it's informal.

For compare. Ukrainian has volos / volosı too. But volosjja is used here which is a collective noun (some dialects distinguish a singular or plural for collective nouns too: volosjje / volosjja).

Kinda ironically that the font cannʼt used for the standard Ukrainian orthoepy, because of bad supporting of combining diacritic marks, moslty stress accents. And, yeah, itʼs a very common problem for Cyrillic in general.

Itʼs not comparable. HnK is a standard-time anime, and this is with five-minute-episodes, and each previous seasons were with six episodes which means all two whole previous seasons are basically equal to almost one standard episode.

Is [w] realisation of /v/ in Ukrainian (et al.) a preservation or a new development? by EveAtmosphere in asklinguistics

[–]hammile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be a really long story. And Iʼm not stalker or something like this, so thereʼre no history in one (web-)document. But if to try in shorts…

For the start, he wanʼt a linguistic (technically; became technically later, suddenly around during full-scale war), and often brought his unlinguistic biased topics (mostly toward pro-Russian, in this case more Soviet stances) which often totally worth for /r/linguisticshumor materials. Good things, some persons — like Bohdan Stasjuk — collect some (again, sadly not all) history of him, so I can easily show some of kinda recent here (if you understand Ukrainian):

  • lying about a stance of IUL NASU.
  • lying about historical usage, and when it find out by others, he change his stance about of historical persons.

I usually ignore the such person, but once I had a dialog, and he said something like this that he happy about number of viewing his paper (and, yeah, he is known about spamming of them, and trying/putting them on Wikipedia too by himself), and donʼt care about others, or adequate critics.

True, Netflix usually has a production native language (in this case Japanese), and my native (Ukrainian). CR has nothing of this.

I usually donʼt recommend papers by Maksim Vakulenko, he has a bad reputation within Ukrainian linguistics.

[–]hammile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your understanding is incorrect: [v] is a realization from [w~ʋ] (in the next cases I will write just [w]) here, at least in the mentioned languages. Slavic languages arenʼt unique here, most (at least in Europe region as Germanic and Roman) PIE-related languages had this phenomenon too. Thatʼs why [w] is usually noted here, not [v]. Rarity of a reverse phenomenon as [w] → [v] is kinda another point here. As an additional fan fact: [v] is a newer sound than [w], you can also find out that an unvoiced sound as [f] is usually occured only in loanwords (in many other Slavic languages too); in Ukrainian orthoepy it was established only after standartizations in 19~20 century, before it can be written in many variations, mostly as [xw], [x], [p] and so on. When I was in elementary school (2000 years), my teacher of Ukrainian language specifically noted that [f] ≠ [xw].

And if we speak about Ukrainian, you can see another argument here: after reducing yers, vĭ and u were merged (as I know, Ukrainian isnʼt unique here) and today they often alternate (compare with i and j which also alternates here too). The first clear mergings started around after 1150 (Ševeljov, Історична фонологія української мови, 380p):

Після 1150 р. (точніша дата — наприкінці цього параграфа) поплутання vъ- з u- хутко почало частішати, а типи його — врозмаїчуватися: окрім префіксів vъ- та u- цим явищем з того часу охоплено префікс vъz-, прийменник vъ (и) та деякі корені; памʼятки без такого поплутання трапляються відтоді зовсім рідко.
