some of the architecture of zinder, niger. zinder rose from a small hausa village into an important center of trans-saharan trade during the 18th century, culmunating in it becoming the capital of the sultanate of damagaram in 1736.

#niger #hausa #architecture #my posts #in case you didn't know: hausa is a part of the afroasiatic language family (same family semitic langs are in) #there's a lot of theories about how exactly afroasiatic speakers spread & there isn't a consistent cultural/migration pattern #like w/ indo-euro languages #but hasua is probably to arabic/hebrew/syriac what english is to bengali or assamese (except even less similar) #i can pick out some hausa words myself ('sama' is 'heaven') but tbh im not sure how many are loadwords from arabic (since they use #'dunya' for 'world' for example). most hausa are muslim so itd make sense if they took some arabic words

RBADTK brought up that the Zapatistas were speaking Spanish (foreign Indo-European language) as a point that they weren't indigenous but... they were colonized by Spaniards (is that the correct term?), including their mother tongues. I'm sure they would love to preserve their native languages but it doesn't seem like a priority rn. And their languages being colonized or them intermarrying Euros doesn't change that they are indigenous, wtf is that logic c'mon 😭

its insane,,,,, meanwhile if u tell her shes white bc shes from a white jewish ethnic group that has been in europe for thousands of years & mixed with europeans she'll be like wow ur basically hitler (bc hitler considered ashkenazim white now apprently)

idk whats wrong w her but theres clearly sth very off about her. her arguments make no sense and sometimes it feels like shes trying to be some kind of social justice warrior except she manages to just go after people over absolutely nothing and total nonsense
