Taishanese then underwent a backing of the apical vowel ɿ /z̩/ into u, which we can also find with 思 above: lhu1 in Taishanese

This distinction is lost in Cantonese but if we compare for example Nanning Baihua, a variety closely related to Cantonese:
思 sɿ55 < si
市 ʃi24 < dzyiX
師 sɿ55 < srij
Noting that MC ie, ij, i all merge into /*i/ in “Common Dialectal Chinese”
English
This is a regular sound change
In Coastal Yue, MC’s TSY- and TSR- series all become *Tɕ **except** in the specific condition of *TSRI-type syllables where instead they become *Tsɿ

@Troobninge @gwoyeuromatzyh @cobbaltt @aaronjlee there are only two exceptions i've found so far, both where LMC ʂ(ɦ) > TS ɬ where we would expect s. the exceptions are: 師 (srij /ʂij/ > lhu1) 'teacher, master' 事 (dzriH /ʂɦî/ > lhu5) 'thing, task' not sure what's up with those but otherwise the correspondence holds!

This isn't bad because it's worse than things various Western states have done, it's bad because it is remarkably similar to policies like Canada's residential schools that most decent people now recognize as moral abominations.

In any case, the recent discussion of Tibetan language education has been driving me crazy, so here are some key points

Poetic metre is very cool. I'm gaining a whole new appreciation for poets who manage to write parsable poems while adhering to the requirements of their chosen metre.
English
“People all raise their children expecting (them) to be smart;
I was hindered my life by smarts;
(I) only hope that (my) child is stupid and rough;
(so that he can) become an official without trial or tribulation”
English
people all / raise child / expect smart
I PASS / smart / hinder entire_life
only hope / child / stupid and rough
not.have disaster / not.have hardship / arrive official
