linguistics of color is interesting. classic example is russian having distinct words for light and dark blue as well (golubój/sínij respectively) with no generic "blue"

quick heads up regarding half as interesting, i never really watch them but on the few occasions i have its been about something i have a lot of nerd knowledge about (languages) and they got a lot of even their basic facts wrong (such as calling a phoneme a "phenome"). id take all of their videos with a hefty helping of salt

seeing as ableist terms are always rooted in previously uncontroversial medical terms i propose the term "the swag ones"

sybilvane means sybilvane* uses pronouns. rational people such as sunbather and sybilvane would never use pronouns, lest those wokies defea.. wait..

went looking for some post-rock adjacent stuff and stumbled upon this neat noisy/mathy/jazzy mix, vocals can get quite drowned in the mix but they have their charm too nonetheless

 

I was pondering differences between endonyms and exonyms, but then I started wondering where demonyms really, originally come from. I imagine it might come from the name of the leader of a group of people, that name becoming associated with that group as a whole and when people start mingling more it becomes a name associated with a whole people and so it dominos on, but if anybody has any good reads regarding it I'd be interested to check it out. I know that demonyms often come from place names but that also begs the question how those places got their names to begin with, or if its more often than not just a matter of "you call that place that hence we will call it that" à la Sahara Desert for example.
