1. **Arabic Script**: The #Arabic script is an abjad that is used by hundreds of millions of people across the world. It is used not only for Arabic but also for other languages such as #Persian (#Farsi), #Urdu, #Pashto, and #Kurdish, among others. Modern adaptations of the script include diacritical marks that can specify vowels when necessary, such as in the #Qur'an or in texts for language learners.

Г being a hard K is reflected in گ being a modified ک in #فارسی #Farsi and #اردو #Urdu - i.e. the G is a modified #عربي #Arabic K

but for - "g" is often pronounced a bit softer in English - do you mean American English or all English (UK, Australia, India, etc.)?

we seem to translate G differently in at least one other example mastodon.social/@kirt/11098465
the #Greek food #γύρος is called #Yiros in #Queensland but #Gyros in #NewYork

MastodonMega Kirt (@kirt@mastodon.social)@Kirt@lingo.lol @kirt@qoto.org @kirt@aus.social i thought of a related example there is a #Greek Street food #γύρος called #Yiros where i am but #Gyros in #NewYork https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyros Γύρος is a similar looking letter… i think Australians are hearing something differently to North Americans ?

I've got a weird #TeXLaTeΧ question and I'm curious if #AskFedi can help: I want to typeset #Persian text, but when I try to load #farsi with #babel, I get an "There is no ini file for the requested language" message. The babel GitHub repo has babel-fa.ini, and it's in texlive-latex-base, but I can't find a way to install it into my minimal system with tlmgr, since CTAN has no babel-farsi or babel-persian package. Any ideas?

.. bleibt eben etwas, wofür #Arabisch oder #Farsi oder #Paschtu oder #Türkisch gebraucht wird. Wenn die Jobs ausgeschrieben sind, ist nicht erkennbar, worum es eigentlich geht.

Es gibt viele davon, hier, nicht irgendwo weit weg. Aber sie sind völlig #unsichtbar. Dabei können wir auf diesen #Plattformen nur sein, weil sie da sind.

Die Menschen, mit denen ich gestern abend gesprochen haben, waren ganz wunderbare Menschen. Offen, freundlich, super interessant.

And note that I'm comparing this to #Chinese, which is a language infamous for being "difficult". (It really isn't, but people get scared by the orthography and shut off their brains.)

The #Persian (#Farsi) solution to the gendered pronoun problem is even more elegant than the Chinese one: don't change anything.

Persian, after all, has one third-person singular pronoun (او/u) and one third-person plural pronoun (آنها/ānhā—sometimes used as a formal third-person singular in courtesy.

I'm extremely curious & extremely easily distracted.

I dropped out of a #PhD on the #evolution of #lung #pathogens somewhere in the late 2010s (it's ambiguous exactly when)

I'm an #English speaker trying to learn an unfeasible number of #Languages including #Russian #Hindi #Farsi #Arabic #German and too many others to make any progress on, but I'm having fun trying.

I joined on a very small server @irtapil@sauropods.win and then found space on here, currently I plan to keep both profiles.
