in Fuzhounese you can call the left and right hands the "small side hand" and "big side hand" 𝒐𝒓 the "bowl-holding hand" and "chopstick-holding hand" 🍜
Fuzhounese is ofc famous for having not only tone sandhi but *also* sandhi-ing consonants. Not only so, its tone sandhi can also change its vowels! For example, the syllable /pouʔ˨˧/ is sandhi’d to /βuʔ˨˩/ in the word 跤腹頭 /kʰa˦˦ pouʔ˨˧ tʰau˥˧/ [kʰa˨˩ βuʔ˨˩ tʰau˥˧] “kneecap”

I have just released 50,000 characters of new Jyutping-annotated Cantonese works, parallel with English / standard written Chinese translations, in multiple formats. Our signature tone-marks and placement removes confusion with tones. 🧵1 / 5

Couple months back I was in Ephesus visiting some ancient church ruins. Took this video to send home to my son back in Canada.

Is "mouse" 🐁🖱️ losing its polysemous status and turning into a case of homophony? A couple of students have already told me that they're confused why "mouse" is polysemous but "bat" 🦇🏏 is homophonous. Does it have something to do with mouses becoming "tail"less? 🤔
新華文字典 (1929) has Chinese characters for monosyllabic English words/morphemes! Some are just phonetic loans, but many are made from scratch; here are some interesting ones (e.g. "know" with sem. 矢 from 知, or "bomb" with phon. 泵 "pump"!) iiif.lib.harvard.edu/manifests/view…

Interesting way of writing taat1 'tart' sighted in LA Chinatown ❤️: <⿰米達> with a 米 'rice' radical instead of the usual <撻>, a phonetic borrowing. This character is already under the radar of the IRG, so hopefully this will be encoded soon 😊 hc.jsecs.org/irg/ws2024/app…
Finally received a copy of Chinese Characters Across Asia by @ZevHandel! Looking forward to reading it!
Happy OK Day! On 23 March 1839, the word OK appeared for the first time in the Boston Morning Globe. It was a humorous abbreviation for "oll korrect". Funny abbreviations were a fad at the time, like the netspeak we see today. We at Because Language hope your day is OK.

Some people in Taiwan avoid calling the snake by its name 蛇 (“chua” in Taiwanese) and instead say 溜 “liu” (meaning: slither) in Taiwanese because of the belief that calling the snake by its name will invite it to come your way 😅 So, Happy “Liu” Year！🐍
