1. Provided you read Danish 😅

The publication has received generous support from @Carlsbergfondet. It would not have been possible to write it without @DFF_raad.

[Thomas Olander | @olander.bsky.social @2lander]

Was the Danish language invented by Big Language History to sell more sound change?

That’s very hard to know. But now you can see for yourself¹ in my

Dr. Jörgenstein’s law of Breton arguments:

“As any discussion grows longer, the probability of an argument involving Breton, in particular the Vanettais dialect, increases.”

Let's all sit back and enjoy this textbook example 🥹

[Jörgenstein @AndersRJorg]

Sure, Pre-Indo-European substrates is fun and all, but what about Breton historical phonology? The internet is hungry for hot takes about the phonetics of <z> and <ff>, resonant length contrasts after unstressed vowels and morphophonemic spellings.

Very proud to announce that my first book as a co-editor has been published! 😄
It combines perspectives from linguistics, archaeology, anthropology, religion, and explores the dynamics of power, gender, and mobility in Indo-European-speaking societies and Proto-Indo-European.

Scholars of Early Gaelic and Proto-Celtic, the publications of Kim McCone are being digitised and uploaded to his new website for free download. Quite a bit there already and looks like there's more to come!
