Dialects are a natural result of how humans live with each other in communities, and they are a wonderful reflection of our history and sense of identity.

English ‘friend’ and its West Germanic cognates are quite different from North Germanic words such as Danish ‘ven’.
‘Friend’ stems from a present participle meaning “loving”. It’s related to ‘free’ and ‘Friday’.
The English cognate of ‘ven’ was lost, although it lingers in names such as ‘Godwin’:
Archaeologist and trumpet player Miquel López-Garcia carefully plays a shell trumpet from Neolithic Catalonia.
The high-intensity sound would have been useful for long-distance communication, and they may have also been effective musical instruments.

Felicidades, excelente artículo y reflexiones muy pertinentes. En ciertas partes de México, como Tulum o San Miguel, el desplazamiento social y cultural, provocado por la llegada masiva de extranjeros, está reduciendo la expresión autóctona a una simple manifestación colorista con fines turísticos.
No fue solo entretenimiento: fue un aviso directo 🚨

Exacto. Ya no hay esas leyendas del doblaje mexicano como Julio Lucena, Jorge Arvízu o Víctor Alcocer. El magnífico doblaje de "Don Gato" fue lo que volvió famoso el programa en México, cuando en EEUU incluso cancelaron el programa original después de 30 episodios.
Algunos de los doblajes actuales son horribles. Sobre todo los hechos para películas gringas en televisión.
Speaking of Milan, a "milliner," as in a person who makes or sells women's hats, originally referred to someone from Milan.

Es un clasicazo de la música pop italiana. La cantante original sigue todavía muy vigente en Italia, pese a que ya tiene 75 años.
El doblaje mexicano del "Show de los Muppets" en los 80 era buenísimo...

Proto-Indo-European gave birth to a plethora of modern languages - from English to Farsi.
But as @laurainparis.bsky.social explores in her book "Proto", there remains a question mark over its origins

Excavation of a flat stone pavement (an early ritual structure). In the background, several moai stand on a stone platform.
This week is the #TapatiFestival, a celebration of the culture and traditions of Rapa Nui (Easter Island).
Long thought to have spread from West Polynesia with the first settlers, radiocarbon dates suggest some ritual practices originate on the island.
