I still don't even know Irish properly. I want to try learn it for the sake of it, even though reality is that we will always speak English anyway. I'd have mentioned before that I was learning Swedish because I lived there for the best part of 3 years, but it's not really going to be useful to me in Ireland either.

I've been learning Turkish 1 and a half years, I quit learning Mandarin 2 years ago because I got bored by it and then I kinda learned nothing in particular for about a half year or so.

Not sure if I've asked you this before, but I noticed you use the singular they a lot in English now – is that because Swedish doesn't have masculine and feminine pronouns?Steo wrote: Sat Aug 30, 2025 3:14 pm I still don't even know Irish properly.

If you guys could revive one extinct language, what would it be?

I guess it's not strictly extinct, but I'd revive Egyptian Coptic.Greengoop wrote: Sat Aug 30, 2025 4:34 pm If you guys could revive one extinct language, what would it be?

I’d go for Pictish. Unless the theory that it’s 2 separate unrelated languages is true.

Latin!

I feel like Latin might get a revival somehow one day.

Technically it's still used but ecclesian latin isn't the same as classical latin. I hope classical latin will get a revival but we don't know their pronunciation. Maybe AI can figure that out through the use of text or the evolution of specific sounds through history.

Ancient Egyptian sounds awesome from what I’ve heard of it being spoken.

Any thoughts on reviving esperanto?
Re: Languages

No because I don't like the thought of it being an artificial language.
Yes, I am aware that technically, every language is artificial but you know what I mean.

Do we really need AI? I think the human-reconstructed pronunciation we have is plausible enough already (I say not being a professional linguist, so maybe it's the Dunning-Kruger Effect in actionRsandee wrote: Sat Aug 30, 2025 4:48 pm Technically it's still used but ecclesian latin isn't the same as classical latin.

I have no idea. I thought we still had no idea how certain words were pronounced but I never really dug into Latin myself.
