Adding to my bio, I sometimes, if not many, enter debates/discussions just for the sake of it, as I like doing that, which is why if you find me debating things again and again, please excuse me, it is my way of having fun. x.com/49CKV/status/1…

My previous bio is in the image and is still applicable now. As I like to try to understand what I come across, I will be commenting on or questioning a range of topics. Please ignore those if you are here just for the language part.

🚨 "If India were as well organised as China, it would be going at a different speed. India is not one nation but many nations. It has 320 languages and no PM can speak in a language that is understood everywhere in India. You can do that in China" - said ex-Singapore PM Lee Kuan Yew follow @india_plus_

@Gloryseven07 Oh that, that is a perception, most foreigners learn the "standard", where standard is just one dialect/accent which has official status, which is why people who speak non-standard may "appear" to speak incorrectly.

@the_onlooker_ They will say meaning less lines such as "AP is in India! speak Hindi!!". I mean Telugu: India is the same as Hindi: India.

@TeaChaiLa @AmeyKulkarni_21 Yes, in Telugu, we use the Telugu names instead of local names. We have been saying Keralam long before it was Keralam.

In Marathi, Kerala used to be pronounced as "केरळ" Now with Kerala renamed as Keralam, is it "केरळम" or "केरलम"

@big_storm789 @Openatic @india_plus_ How? Will you force people to speak it? Even if you forcefully teach it to people, if they decide to just stop speaking it, what will you do?

@ApparaoDhillon Telugu naming system is different from the ones in the North. The final part is optional and you can use any of the ones used by your clan, so, parents, children, and even siblings can have different ones.

If you're from North and if a Southner bullies you, esp with Bimaru/Tax contribution jibe, reply: -Between 1857 -1947, British executed only 1 South Indian (Alluri Sitarama Raju). While North was fighting the Brits, South was busy developing itself.

Libbi here observed that Brahmins of Pune still pronounce the ण​ in the Marathi written language properly by curling their tongue backwards, and others have dropped that and merged it with न sound which is the dental “n” sound. She wanted to write how maintaining the tradition of linguistic retroflexion is casteist. But she was too dumb to google the terms like “retroflexion” or “dental” that describe the difference between the consonants न and ण​. So, she just used a random word “nasal” and describes the retroflex ण​ as “nasal n”. Roflmao. The fun fact is that both न and ण​ are nasal sounds (you get a hmmmm coming out of your nose when you pronounce both the consonants). Can’t even google for the appropriate term and these geniuses have come to write articles titled “How the nasal na insists on Marathi’s caste hierarchy” 😂😂😂 If brahmins speak the language based on how it is written , it means that they have still preserved the older pronunciation of the language that prevailed when it was first written down . It is others who have changed their pronunciation. Also retroflexion , if at all it goes, is the most indigeneous thing to the subcontinent 😭😭😭 There is nothing more that is a sign of indigenity to the subcontinent than retroflex sounds. Most languages that has been here for a long time in the subcontinent (no matter the family - Aryan, Dravidian, Munda, Iranian) have developed phonemic retroflexion ; even Pashto, which is an eastern dialect of Persian, spoken in southern Afghanistan has developed retroflex consonants ffs 😭😭 Akhand bharat ≈ retroflexed Bharat (see map) Retroflexion is the last thing that is brahminical and Aryan. No other Indo-European languages outside Indian subcontinent have phonemic retroflexion. Retroflexion is an indigeneous feature of the Indian sprachbund (language area). Kudos to the brahmins who proudly flex their tongue backwards and carry on the indigeneous tradition of retroflexion that even the moolnivasis are losing. @Ugrashravas Link to the article : scroll.in/article/109246…

Some #Sanskrit past participles that can be used in both active and passive senses. For example, आरूढ- 「ā-rūḍha-」 can refer to a person mounting a horse, or to the horse being mounted.

@IshitaaPandey Must be lit translating "amma"(mother) into English, "amma" is also used as a generic word to address respectfully women, regardless of age.

@halleyji I think its those people who just blindly believe the media(news, papers, movies, etc) FRAMING to be true and apply that framing to everything, ధర్మం is just one such instance of application.

Certain Hindus have a very unique ability to blame Hindu Dharma for anything and everything that goes wrong in day to day life. Somehow Hindu culture needs to be blamed for random day to day issues. There is some discussion on summer water supply shortage and someone goes - "We should stop wasting water during Holi in the name of festival celebrations" As if that is the single biggest root cause of summer water crisis! It is a very unique self flagellating tendency that some Hindus carry. Hinduism bad. Hindus bad. Hindu society bad. Hindu festivals bad. Bad. Bad. Bad.

@BouncyMouser @Pranav_sharrmma But Kayasthas also exist among Bengalis, right? + why did it give rise to Hindi? And not their mother tongue.

In the establishment of Hindi as an official language of Bihar & butchering the native languages like Magahi & Maithili the entire credit goes to the muslim aristocracy & Kayasthas living in Patna Persian -> Urdu -> Hindi (Hate for Bengalis) Did the same happen in Lucknow?
