Certain grammatical rules never appear in any known language. By constructing artificial languages that have these rules, linguists can use neural networks to explore how people learn.

POV: The year is 19000 B.C. You are a proto-East Asian in Ice Age Siberia. It is -80° C outside w 95 mph winds. However, you do not have protective epicanthic folds on your big round eyes. You can't see or hunt well due to snowblindness & eye pain. Your paleoABG gf is hungry and unhappy with your hunting performance. You're about be naturally selected against

“The function, the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being. Somebody says you have no language and you spend twenty years proving that you do. Somebody says your head isn’t shaped properly so you have scientists working on the fact that it is. Somebody says you have no art, so you dredge that up. Somebody says you have no kingdoms, so you dredge that up. None of this is necessary. There will always be one more thing.”

Hindi names are transparent? Persian names?
I think there are two very different things being conflated here. Many “Hindi names” are transparent in Sanskrit, not in Hindi. The meanings of these names are known only by tradition, not by synchronic interpretation by native ...
