Karelian intro

Karelian is a Baltic Finnic language with roughly 50,000 fluent speakers in Russia and 5,000 in Finland. Its closest related languages are Finnish, Ludic, Veps, Ingrian, Votic, Estonian, and Livonian. Modern Karelian developed from Proto-Karelian, which in turn developed from Proto-Baltic-Finnic, the common ancestor of all Baltic Finnic languages.

Karelians are indigenous to the areas surrounding Lake Ladoga, however Karelians have experienced two significant waves of migration. In the 1600s, Sweden-Finland’s area of influence spread to Karelia, causing a portion of the Karelian population to flee east, some migrating all the way to Tver where they live to this day. Also notably during WWII, war zones spreading to Karelia forced many to evacuate their homes and seek refuge in Finland. Finnish Karelia was annexed by Russia in 1940, which led to the relocated Karelians staying in Finland more permanently.

In the Karelian Republic of Russia, Karelian has the official status of a minority language. In Finland since 2009, it has been officially recognized as a non-regional minority language, which in practice is just a formality.

Karelians have been forcibly assimilated in Russia in similar ways to its other minorities by enforcing the idea of Russia being monolingual, requiring people to learn Russian as a primary language, and limiting people’s use of their native language in everyday life. In Finland, the assimilation has been enforced through the false idea of Karelians being Finns, and Karelian being nothing more than a Finnish dialect. This has been ingrained into Finnish society through years of propaganda and has significantly damaged the size of the speaker population.

Tip for those learning Celtic languages:

SING SOME GODDAMN SONGS

No seriously, learn how to sing songs in your language. It doesn’t even matter if you comprehend the lyrics, the main goal is picking up the phonetics! The bardic tradition is a huge part of Celtic identities, especially for the Gaels of Scotland, Ireland, and Nova Scotia through the ceilidh. There’s also a pretty strong tradition in Wales through Eisteddfod. So by learning your language through song you’re learning pronunciation and flow whilst maintaining an ancient tradition!

Manx or Manx Gaelic

Manx (Gaelg or Gailck) is a Celtic language spoken in the Isle of Man. The last native speaker of Manx died in 1974, but the language has been revived and more than 1,800 people claim to speak, read and write Manx today.

Reading rules

Russian is spoken not in the way it is written. With vowels stress means a lot. There are two tricky vowels: О and Е. If these are stressed in a word, they are О and E, that’s ok. But if they are not stressed, they turn into А and И respectively. The word “велосипЕд” (a bicycle) should be pronounced as “виласипет”. The first Е is not stressed, O is also not stressed, the second E is stressed and it’s still E and about Д down below.

Some consonants have pairs. A deaf one and a ring one. They are Т-Д, К-Г, Ш-Ж, П-Б, Ф-В, С-З. If a ring sound is in the ending of a word, it is pronounced as its deaf pair. In a word “велосипед” Д is the last letter of a word, that’s why it turns into T in speaking. If a ring consonant stands before a deaf consonant, it also turns into its deaf pair. “лОжка” (a spoon) is pronounced as “лошка” because К is a deaf sound. So Ж becomes Ш.

If a deaf consonant is in a position before a ring consonant, it also becomes ring. “ПрОсьба” (a request) sounds like “прозьба”. Б is ring and С becomes З. “C другом” (with a friend) also sounds like “Здругом” as C is deaf and Д is ring, so C turns into З.

project for uralic languages!

one fine day, @mino-lingual and @languagesanddoggos sat down, and decided it was high time that uralic languages get more love. they both then decided to make a blog like @the-caravan-languages and therefore uralangs was born!

we’re working on making lessons, vocab posts, and cultural notes for uralic languages like: - udmurt - finnish - estonian - mari - sámi - hungarian - meänkieli + any uralic language we can rub our hands on

our project depends on the people who talk about it, and contribute it. so if you’re a speaker of any uralic language who would like to contribute, shoot us an ask! and if you’re not a speaker, reblogging this post to spread the word would be fantastic. -mino

HINDI + MALAYALAM + TAMIL RESOURCES (GOOGLE DOC FOLDERS)

Hi guys!

As a Hindustani, Malayalee and Tamil girl, Hindi, Malayalam and Tamil are my native tongues. Even though, English is my first language, being fluent in writing, reading and speaking these languages is important to me. I do not want to have my mother tongues die. I want to pass on the beauty of these languages to my children and have them teach it to their own kids. 

I have found these PDFs online (credit goes to them) and compiled them in Google Doc folders. 

Disclaimer: I own none of this content.

Good luck!
