Imo saying something to the effect of "the people living in this region are so dumb they can't even feed themselves, look at the slop they eat" can be seen as insulting.

Sampatrick posted:How strong is the argument that it should include the Coptic script? Probably a lot stronger than including the Mandean, Syriac, or Cherokee scripts. I'm skeptical that that Njuka script is actually in use too, but I'd never heard of it until I saw that map. Similar with Vai, I would be surprised if they had not been 100% replaced by Latin in real life usage. Is the Mongolian script actually used for anything anymore? Or Manchu? Like, might as well include "runic" for Scandinavia if you're going to include some of theses other ones; probably runic has more readers. Most of the other scripts on there seem to be pretty commonplace, although Tifinagh exists on street signs, ancient inscriptions, and like... nothing else that I've ever seen. I never saw Coptic written anywhere, ever, outside of a church or museum after a year of living in Egypt.

Food Derails are in my opinion the greatest possible evidence that worldwide luxury gay space communism will never work. Even if you get the Proletariat to unite in class solidarity and overthrow the Bourgeois and abolish all national borders, we will immediately descend into bloody anarchy over the proper definition of BBQ or whether or not Taco's are "authentic" Mexican food. steinrokkan posted:I'm the safety syllabary wall that is keeping the Japanese logographics contained. Japanese is bad for any map like this. I know of no other language where you have to use at minimum three different writing systems to write the average sentence. They really need to just do like the Koreans and invent a Japanese equivalent of Hangul.

galagazombie posted:They really need to just do like the Koreans and invent a Japanese equivalent of Hangul. I mean, they already do. You can write all of Japanese in hiragana, and katakana is literally the exact same syllable set but with different characters to write it. It'd be even easier than Korean since my understanding is Japanese doesn't have quite as many homophones (and surely less than Mandarin). People will make arguments about kanji being necessary but it's not, you could get rid of kanji and katakana entirely. Korean and Vietnamese are proof that Asian languages aren't special snowflakes that must use Chinese characters to be comprehensible, you can switch to an alphabet (or syllabary in this case) and it works fine.

Also the fact that learning characters isn't really that big a deal. Japan does make it more complex than it needs to be with characters having multiple readings and it sometimes being impossible to tell which one to use in a given situation, as opposed to Chinese which has more characters in common use, but each one tends to only have a single reading.

But like I said, there's something kinda off about it. And narrowing down the region cuts out other areas where small operations have been making Thing for ages. To be fair I think on local levels some of that stuff is just outright ignored, or treated for what it is, strictly 100% legalese. Like in Cyprus lol if you think they call locally made Feta cheese anything other than Feta, they've been making the stuff for eons.

Like Squalid said, the Mongolic script is still used as the writing system for Mongolian in China, where it has official status in Inner Mongolia and some other regions with sizable Mongolian populations. Maybe unsurprisingly, there are more ethnic Mongolians and Mongolian language speakers in China than in Mongolia.

That does sound a little like how Switzerland wound up culling many of its cheese varieties between tight regulation and a corrupt cheese cartel. Although I'm not sure how much the Swiss participate in EU standards, they normally try to stay apart from the rest of Europe. https://thinkgrowth.org/the-swiss-cheese-mafia-1dd096425f0d And they even put out advertisements accusing people of cheese-piracy.

Little known fact: American cheese was invented in the town of América, Argentina, and the name just stuck. So you white bread fucks better stop pretending it’s some sort of “domestic” midwestern trash “cheese product.” Just because you refuse to learn the true history of American cheese doesn’t mean it never happened. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Am%C3%A9rica,_Buenos_Aires
