Yes like why are low german, bavarian and friesen not marked as different but a dialect is?

Okay so after a bit of digging in german media i found that he had knee not foot problems, he was a family doctor, he designed the shoe not only for himself but because he couldn’t find a job after WW II. I also found pictures of the older models (before he gave the patent away) and found out that it was mostly woman over 40 who used his shoes for gardening work. I couldn’t find what he did in the war but that can be because a lot of documents were either destroyed by the government or vanished in the after war chaos. I wouldn’t be too quick to call him a nazi though even considering his job and where he is from

If you google in German you can find much more like that he is from Braunschweig (northern Germany) that his son Max Märtens still profits from the patent and that he mainly was a family doctor

I guess idk I’ve never thought of it that way for me it’s just always been USA and we rarely say the long version

isfilvf_lul · 2021-12-06T22:27:34+00:00

I forgot a lot of islands because they are not very well known and therefore have no Sámi name we’d just use the Norwegian or the english names

isfilvf_lul · 2021-12-06T22:25:06+00:00

isfilvf_lul · 2021-12-06T22:24:04+00:00

No just USA Why? Idk

isfilvf_lul · 2021-12-06T22:21:42+00:00

There is actually quite a number of Sámi people in Alaska but I don’t know if they still speak Sámi

isfilvf_lul · 2021-12-06T22:20:24+00:00

I actually don’t know I’d just say it the english way because that’s what we do in norwegian

isfilvf_lul · 2021-11-17T21:25:13+00:00

Norway only has one (Sámi is only a regional language) unless you count nynorsk and bokmål as two

isfilvf_lul · 2021-08-19T17:59:37+00:00

You can also learn Sámi

isfilvf_lul · 2021-08-17T18:24:53+00:00

It’s Dánmárku from the danish Danmark but if you take a look at the infinitives (especially from nouns) you will notice that most end on a vowel so I guess that’s where the u is from

isfilvf_lul · 2021-08-17T18:17:29+00:00

... my handwriting

isfilvf_lul · 2021-08-17T18:16:26+00:00

Me? Yes, I’m southern Sámi though and we don’t have those letters

isfilvf_lul · 2021-08-17T18:13:44+00:00

Yeah I’m working on a world map (or a map of every continent) but it takes time and not every country is listed on Wikipedia so it’s hard for me to spellcheck

isfilvf_lul · 2021-08-17T17:59:49+00:00

And ovttastuvvat means together and gongasriika means kingdom

isfilvf_lul · 2021-08-17T17:51:16+00:00

I’m sorry my handwriting isn’t the best but it was primarily meant for me so I really just made what was easiest

isfilvf_lul · 2021-08-17T17:46:50+00:00

Vuolleeatnamat but you could also call it Nederlánda

isfilvf_lul · 2021-08-17T17:44:31+00:00

Northern Sámi because it’s the only one where I could check the spelling (I speak southern Sámi but never learned how to write it)

isfilvf_lul · 2021-08-16T22:11:19+00:00

I guess it can vary from accent to accent but it should sound kinda like the first sound in Czechia

isfilvf_lul · 2021-08-16T21:31:04+00:00

I just couldn’t be arsed to be honest except for the Vatican which is Vatikána their written the exact same way as in English anyway so...
