Sagebrush posted:that's a really terrible question anyway because i'll bet all 6 of the official united nations languages have native speakers in every country in the world, so even if sign language does have i can't remember the wording of the question, it was probably more carefully worded than that. the idiot in charge was doubly wrong anyway because he somehow simultaneously thought it was the same language the world over, AND that it was just the local language spoken with the hands and i think he was more pleased with his bullshit trick questions than with facts

Can't we find some blind assholes who treat deaf people as broken but the blind as 'the ones who can truly see?' Or just agree that people who deafen their children are loving assholes?

it's interesting that "w" is pronounced with a "v" in germanic languages because it's literally the exact opposite in latin. veni vidi vicci? yeah, that should be a "w" in there boyo.

maybe it's their teachers, maybe it's the people themselves, or just the way German maps to English but even though some speakers may have greate difficulty they come across exceedingly polite and agreeable

duTrieux. posted:it's interesting that "w" is pronounced with a "v" in germanic languages because it's literally the exact opposite in latin. Getting this back to the thread. quote:In an early scene, the computer has trouble understanding his mispronunciations of the letter V--his efforts to pronounce "Victor" coming out "Wicktor" and "Vulcan" as "Wulcan." This can also be seen, however, as a direct reference to the character having these same problems in the original series, as well as the movies (notably his requests for "nuclear wessels" in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home). Yelchin is Russian-born himself, but does not have a Russian accent.
