Wikipedia has signed major AI training deals with Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft. Now, regional-language Wikipedia editors are doing double duty: feeding LLMs with credible knowledge while fighting a flood of AI-generated misinformation

One of the worst moments of my life was when I had to do a presentation on the need for a Catalan Republic as the only hope for the survival of the language in a hundred years' time to a class of firm Spanish nationalists (it was a different group) Even the prof was upset god it was so embarrassing

i found this bilibili channel AI dubbing technology connections videos into mandarin and its so goddamn funny @techconnectify.bsky.social

They've made the LanguageTool extension paid and this is my 9/11 It's so good for Catalan... 🫠

I can’t stop laughing at this

As much as I love Transport Heavy and would marry it if I could, the future Catalan Republic better use the beautiful Fira Sans on its road signs I use it in all my documents and the Institute of Cartography uses it on its maps, and only now have I realised this coincidence

It fucking is. Oh, my god. 3dnassos.cat/la-pellicula...

Between the plane pilot in Galiza who was attacked by a tarantula, the Catalan park where ducks keep vanishing, and this Occitan lad who was rushed to A&E with a grenade from the First World War stuck up his arse, I honestly just don’t think there’s any way to top this continent.

If Starlow were to learn Castilian, would it look like this (Request)

What Nintendo is doing with the Portuguese language can only be described as a social experiment

what a lovely da- WOAHHH giant don in the sky

Any statistician willing to team up so we can show that lemurs and Malagasy show unexploited correlations in their geography?

Should I post some of my drawings here from time to time? I've been posting some on my private Twitter account, but I'm afraid to go public because I'm really not good at it (I draw with a mouse) and I really can't take criticism,, I can only draw Miis too (perfect excuse for not drawing hands lol)

Being from Macau must be insane. What do you mean you have the Cantonese ‘茶’ (caa⁴) and the derived Portuguese ‘chá’ at the same time in the same place?

The fact that what made me scream the most during the Nintendo Direct was the addition of road signs should tell you everything you need to know about me as a person

I found a book from the 90s that teaches Cantonese in a rather fun way, but can someone explain to me what the hell is this wacky transcription system?

Happy 113th anniversary of the first official publication of Catalan orthography to those who celebrate

What is the best Catalan word, and why is it “xiuxiuejar”?

I can confidently say that every single second of the 15 years Nintendo took to add a new language has been worth the wait.

Hoxe, en 1974 morría Ned Maddrell, o último falante nativo de manx, o idioma céltico de 🇮🇲 que esmoreceu case completamente durante o século XX pero está a ser recuperado con certo éxito nas últimas décadas. Hoxe hai máis de 2000 falantes como 2ª lingua youtu.be/-286xpqtC7M?...

I hate Spain so much, man, what's the point of this

Irish orthography is beautiful and perfect, why do people hate it I want to hear one (1) valid reason

If you're interested, YouTube has added this feature in Settings, which should fix all the stupid forced automatic translation features.

I enjoy being in a country where not everyone understands English perfectly, because last night I was sleep-talking very loudly as I was explaining the incredibly AI-like hallucinated etymology of some words to someone in my dream 😭😭😭😭

Accepting that nostalgia for Super Mario Odyssey (2017) and 51 Worldwide Games (2020) is just a thing in my head now

I like it when people say “I know this Japanese word from this anime” or “oh, yeah, I know this from this book I read” and I’m here like “I know it from leaked Nintendo documentation”

Boa nova no 🇬🇧 onde o goberno recomendou establecer o maior nivel de protección pra lingua córnica, a mesma que a que teñen galés, irlandés e gaélico escocés. A lingua córnica "morreu" a finais do séc. XVIII pero desde hai décadas vive un rexurdimento www.bbc.com/news/articles/cqxq98n8ne8o.amp

My 9/11

Exams simply do not work, and that is an opinion I will carry with me to my grave. I am extremely obsessed with phonetics and phonology, and yet I just wrote that [d] is a fucking vowel. I am in the right, PROVE ME WRONG

Huh.

Please watch this video immediately.

Reading my English writings from two years ago and realising how Catalan has killed my native language to the point where not only I’m not perfect in either, but, on top of that, now people from both sides think I’m a learner of their language who is a native speaker of the other one

Lads.

THERE IS ANOTHER?

I don’t think there’s a single soul on this planet who wanted this. I really really don’t think there is.

I want to make videos, I really do, but I literally DO NOT have time at all, even to sleep sometimes @-@ I will get back to it as soon as I can!!

Okay, I know about Galician-Portuguese Samaim, but what IS this? I am already terrified of these people calling me [kə'ɔjm'hə]

A year and 237 deaths later, not one person has been held accountable yet. The silence is deafening, and we cannot even begin to visualise the pain of so many people. Mr Mazón should be in prison.

Time to change your Wii clocks

If Humphreys wins, I am going to scream

The time has finally come. Prepare yourself mentally for this one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2fo...

Professors who constantly mark my submissions as “Fail (Likely GenAI)” because I use the em dash a lot are what radicalised me

Comparative demographic map of Hokkaido Best I can do with current data. Based on a survey conducted in 2023 by the Hokkaido Prefectural Government with the assistance of the Hokkaido Ainu Society (which is why the numbers seem a bit low)

#LembreteRápido📨 Em galego ILUSOM (RAG: Ilusión) é apenas um erro que nos fai ver cousas que nom som, um engano ao olho. Ex: É comum nos filmes o cliché do oásis 🏝️no deserto. O significado relacionado com a espetativa de felicidade é um castelhanismo.
