@dannybate.bsky.social went to Sázava, a small town in central Moravia, 60 kms, South-East of Praha/Prague.
A small town by now but it had been the place of a linguistic liturgical battle and a wonderful overview on the linguistic ecology in the Middle-Ages.

Since today is Saint Martin's Day, here's a humble image of the popular saint that I recently encountered on Veliki Brijun, Croatia. Carved for a church in Senj c. 1330, it has "Sveti Marъtinъ" written in Glagolitic letters around the saint's head – part of Croatia's long tradition of Glagolitic.

It's just two words, but a personal favourite find in a medieval manuscript is this signature of Anne, a princess of Kievan Rus and Queen (Regent) of France.
Written on a 1063 charter, it reads "АНА РЪИНА" ('ana rъina' ~ 'Anne Queen'). The language is Old French, but the script is Cyrillic!

The rich are responsible for an outsized share of carbon emissions — the top 10% account for 48%.
And the gap is growing.
Since 1990, the richest 1% have increased their share of emissions by 13%, while the poorest 50% have seen theirs fall by 3%.

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.
