mawarannahr posted:the pronunciation of letter names was one of countless groundbreaking reforms instituted by Ataturk, who returned the letters to their original nature after the Arabs forced Turks to pronounce the letter K wrong. you might be chided for saying K that way as a child, even if it “slips through” once in a while, no matter how hard you try. how do you pronounce idk

Boat Stuck posted:Fun fact, China didn't really have gun control until 1993 when 5000 people from two villages in Hunan fought a 2-day battle over a blood feud with WW II surplus guns + homemade artillery and shut down the Beijing-Guangzhou railway (which passes between the two villages). i misread that as “fire control” and was bemused how it took a clan war between two villages to first develop the technology

Spergin Morlock posted:Iran has a very large azeri minority population. I doubt they want to get entangled there ignoring the azeri minority, the iranian state would not allow an ally of israel to cut off its access point to the caucasus and allow a direct land connection with turkey, potentially another ukraine situation with nato as far as i’m aware the azeris are well integrated and not necessarily friends of the authoritarian regime either
