Falc’hun’s style! Il met très souvent le doigt sur des phénomènes très intéressants mais je trouve que les explications, quand il en donne, sont souvent alambiquées.
Je ne me souviens plus de son argumentation sur ce point.

Interesting perspective for contemporary societies "Must a railroad be profitable?"

A view from Ukraine by Oksana Forostyna @europeanreview.bsky.social

Glory to the rails - The European Review of Books

Millions of Ukrainians left the country during the first weeks of the invasion; four million were evacuated by train, including a million children. Thousands of dogs, cats and other pets, too.

Les langues meurent-elles ou bien les locuteurs et locutrices les délaissent-elles au profit d’autres idiomes parlés par des groupes plus nombreux ?
Quoiqu’il en soit la diversité linguistique reste et demeure importante.

Cadernos de Linguística @cadlin.bsky.social · 2d

In the early 1900s, German communities in the South Caucasus lived under Russian rule and used both German and Russian in daily life. Studying newspapers of that time helps linguistics see how migration and empire left their mark on language and identity.

There are 1.1 million of speakers of Estonian nowadays while there was 1.2 million of Breton speakers in 1952 (estimation).
Despite a similar population size (at different periods of time, of course), the sociolinguistic situation of each language differs completely. It is really fascinating !

This is a very stimulating review of Rozenn Milin’s last book "La Honte et le Châtiment. Imposer le français (Bretagne, France, Afrique et autres territoires)" by Jean Le Bihan on @laviedesidees.bsky.social

A lot of food for thought, especially when you are in Estonia at the present time!

How the process of language endangerment and the decrease of of linguistic diversity work from a social and historical perspective?

Suaimhneas síoraí ar a anam Gaelach. 💚

B’ambasadóir é Manchán dár nglúin féin agus duine a bhí lárnach san athbheochán a tharla ar na mallaibh sa chultúr agus sa Ghaeilge. Sheas sé i lár an aonaigh agus thiocfadh a rá nár chuir sé é féin ansin ach gur chuir an pobal ann é.

Ina bhealach séimh féin, chuir sé i gcuimhne dúinn fán ról atá ag an teanga maidir le tuiscint níos doimhne a fháil ar an cheantar thart orainn agus orainn féin.

Mairfidh a oidhreacht i meon fiosrach spreagúil na nGael agus iontu siúd a théann sa tóir ar shaol níos doimhne agus fíoraithe.

Suaimhneas síoraí ar a anam Gaelach. 💚

Perhaps unwillingly, he was the foremost cultural ambassador for our generation and instrumental in the resurgence of Irish language and culture.

He gently reminded us of the role the language has in understanding our surroundings, and knowing ourselves.

His legacy will live on in the curious minds of the Irish and beyond, in those who seek a deeper and more fulfilling life.

Go raibh míle maith agat. I thought so, but the expert’s view is far more sounder than a vague intuition 😉

A good case study for sociolinguistic tyypology à la Trudgill!
Do you think that litteracy could have also contributed at some extent to this process of complexification?
