The difference between a language and a dialect is political and cultural, and is "not out problem" in linguistics

#CursedEtymologies: This makes sense, I promise! The Meadow Mari (a Finno-Ugric language of the Volga region) word pareηge 'potato' at first sight seems odd ... and at second sight seems etymologically connected to France, and the Ferengi – an alien race from Star Trek. How come? (1/3)

A circular arrangement of: a potato, three Ferengi (aliens from Star Trek), Paris (showing the Eiffel Tower and the Seine), with lines connecting the three and an equal sign = in a circle over each line.

Im kommenden Jahr gleich eine spannende Veranstaltung: "Missionarslinguistik im Russischen Kaiserreich. Schwerpunkt: Finno-ugrische Sprachen", ein Gastvortrag von Katarína Džunková (Karls-Universität Prag). Mittwoch, 22.1.2025, 18:00, HS1 (und Zoom; Link nach Anfrage). Herzlich willkommen!

Poster mit dem Text:

"Russisch-orthodoxe Missionare widmeten sich ab Ende des 18. Jh. systematisch den indigenen Völkern des Russischen Kaiserreichs.

Sie erstellten Grammatiken und Wörterbücher von mindestens 31 Sprachen verschiedener Sprachfamilien,
entwickelten Alphabete auf der Grundlage des kyrillischen Alphabets und übersetztenzahlreiche Texte kirchlichen, pädagogischen und staatlichen Charakters.

Vor dem Hintergrund ihrer Arbeit werden auch Fragen der staatlichen Politik gegenüber indigenen Völkern deutlich. Im Vortrag wird den finno-ugrischen Sprachen besondere Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet.

Katarína Džunková hat International Area Studies, Orientalistik und Vergleichende Sprachwissenschaft an der Karls-Universität Prag studiert und in historischer Linguistik an der Staatlichen Universität St. Petersburg und der Russischen Akademie der Wissenschaften promoviert."

Time to start posting cryptic memes here I guess :D

A man and a woman meet in a store. He says "I love Marimekko", she says "Me too". On the second picture, he is wearing a shirt with a Marimekko design, and she is wearing a Mari shirt.

It's really funny if you know Finnish, I swear!
