@ilyatopper @rrrrr_adrian Tho I agree w the sentiment to an extent, the downside is having to dictate other's closely held notions of identity. If Norwegian is basically a part of 1 Scandi lang, why even get off the Danish standard?
It gets messy down the line bc lang, like identity, is fickle & amorphous

@AdoniLabanon @rrrrr_adrian > but for anybody speaking about language, and not about politics, it should be more than obvious that we can't just buy that concept. It would take away any empirical ground from lingüistics. Language criteria are never strict, but there must be some common-sense criteria.

@ilyatopper @rrrrr_adrian What I'm trying to say is:
Empirically, Arab vernaculars are different enough to stand alone.
That doesn't matter, it's decided by society, culture, and politics. Our myths.
How do we change that if we see it fit? By believing it into existence. I'm a proponent of that aswell
English
@ilyatopper @rrrrr_adrian What Adrian is addressing is the lack of a glottopolitical shift to recognise them, despite the clear speciation they’ve undergone
That being said, when speaking of what OUGHT to be, esp in cases where recognition triggers reification, I'd also speak in the prescriptive present.
English
@rrrrr_adrian Thank you! Yes.
Also that language vs dialect is defined socio-politically, not by mutual intelligibility

@DavidADaoud Even if that were false (no compromise) it means little if the Embassy stays open and in business

SCOOP with @kaisos1987: A compromise attempt in Lebanon to prevent the expulsion of the Iranian Ambassador from Beirut. A senior Israeli official tells me that efforts are being made to secure a commitment from the Iranian Ambassador not to interfere in Lebanese politics ->

How did you not get that Assymetrical Warfare *is* the problem?
You HAVE to hide in/under/around civi infrastructure.
You HAVE to incur disproportionate losses then claim victory.
You HAVE to mercilessly crush dissent to sustain yourself.
These are structural flaws by design.

"israel blows up buildings in khiyam" "lebanese" anti-hezb monkeys: "bUt yOu tOlD uS tHeY dIdNt eNtEr KhIyAm" So the resistance operations attacking them in Khiyam were what? Literally no one said that, these idiots should learn what assymetrical warfare is.

Pushing Hezbollah north of the Litani River looks like a bold pivot toward security. But history shows temporary buffer zones only postpone the next war. Why South Lebanon must be transformed into the Levant's West Germany to secure a durable peace. Read our latest.

@shadikhalloul @realhzakaria Christians weren't ethnically cleaned from the South, imbecile.
English
@realhzakaria What about relocating to south Lebanon. All these towns were once Aramaic Christian Maronites before the ethnic cleansing of our people by Islamic forces. Now they are empty. Bring back diaspora there , build peace with Israel and strengthen your security forces
English
No one has a vision for the future of the Christians of Mount Lebanon. No one.
Not the Lebanese Forces, not the Tayyar, not the Kataeb.
None of them has a plan for separation, a real divorce from the political entity that has been causing our emigration for more than a century.
None of them is fighting for an independent Christian homeland. None of them is fighting for a Christian Lebanon. #FuckThemAll

@ThangorodrimXC What I realised after years of experimenting:
1 to 1 sound to letter correspondence doesn't matter aslong as it is internally consistent
Not every phonemic value needs to be represented

Lmao what’s happening on Lebanese sectarian twitter

A powerful message from Lebanese political activist Saleh Machnouk, who comes from a politically active Sunni family from Beirut, on the current war. (His father, Nohad Machnouk, was a close ally of the Hariri family and served as Minister of Interior about a decade ago.)
He has become known in recent years for his fiery videos, typically in Arabic, in which he scathingly criticizes Hezbollah. Here, however, he expresses in English what is on the minds of a large majority of Lebanese, in a message to the outside world: this is not our war, and we are fed up with being pawns in the wars of others.
English
Lebanon was never a "Christian country".
Lebanon, however, has fared relatively well under a specific strand of Maronitism.
Do not confuse the two.

ما يستحقّ الغضب في قضية السجون السرية التابعة لحزب الله ليس أن قناة MTV أشارت إلى مواقعها. من الصعب تصديق أن إسرائيل تحتاج إلى MTV لتعرف بوجودها أصلًا.
الفضيحة الحقيقية هي وجود مراكز اعتقال وتعذيب أصلًا. هذا هو الأمر الذي يجب أن يثير الغضب والصدمة، لا مسألة من كشف عنها. فوجود مثل هذه السجون بحدّ ذاته انتهاك فاضح للحقوق والحريات، وهي القضية التي ينبغي أن تكون في صلب الإدانة، خصوصًا من قبل أولئك الذين يرفعون راية الدفاع عن الحقوق والحريات
