why the hell would you need specific terms for modern technology in a dead language

my supervisor in grad school was from ireland and loved to make fun of all the gaelic technology terms. they have this requirement there that all government publications be available in gaelic but of course there is no gaelic word for, eg. "internet" so they invented some special word with proper gaelic orthography that no one has ever heard of. meanwhile everyone who actually speaks the language uses a portmanteau of the form "t'ainternet". apparently this makes irish people talking about technology sound more like english speakers making fun of irishmen, which she thought was hilarious

speaking of languages

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%27Armond_Speers#d.27Armond_Speers

quote:

Speers is known for having undertaken the endeavour to raise his child bilingually in English and Klingon; Speers spoke in Klingon and his wife in English.[3] A few years into his life, the child began rejecting Klingon and gravitating towards English, as he could use English with many more speakers. At the time of Speers' attempt, Klingon even lacked words for many objects common around the house, such as "table". The experiment ultimately failed when the child refused to use Klingon when he got older.

teaching your child a second language as they are growing is a good thing

using a tv show language as the second language isnt. plz dont do that



if u have some need to teach ur kid an "unusual" language at least go something like egyptian or ancient greek or something possibly useful later in life

hell, even esperanto

I used to live next door to an English man and a Dutch woman who were raising their kids bilingually but then when the kids started going to school and exclusively used English with their peers they'd just say "talk properly mummy" :(

also when I was a toddler my mum was studying Greek and would practice with me in the room so I picked a bit of it up but then she had to drop out and I don't remember anything about any of that :(

if you know another language you should speak it exclusively at home because kids' brains are sponges for language and they'll pick up english super quick from everywhere else in the outside world

Big the Cat (ビッグ・ザ・キャット Biggu Za Kyatto?) is a large, purple anthropomorphic cat with yellow eyes and long ears who first debuted in Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast. Big is laid-back[36] and easygoing, which is reflected in his speech.[37] Strong but gentle[37] and a little slow,[38] he lives a normally peaceful life in the jungle with his best friend "Froggy."[37] He loves fishing, and he is never without his favorite rod and lure.[36]
