Here is a Welsh weekend wonder.....

What connects the second longest river in Europe and Cymraeg?

The #Danube flowes for 2,850 km. The river's name derives from Middle French Danube....

...which in turn comes from Old French Danube....

....which in turn comes from Latin Dānubius....

.... and ultimately from Proto-Celtic *Dānowyos.

Today the modern Welsh for the Danube is Donaw or Donwy.

Pretty cool, eh? #danube #rivers #donaw #donwy #afon #cymraeg #welsh #dysgu #learn #iaith #langauge

@so There are 7100 living languages. 4,100 of those have a developed writing system and an admin of a new instance has the time and ability to identify and translate 2 of them for a local instance. Te Reo is an official language, English is predominant and NZSL is catered for by screen readers/accessibility. Of course, another alternative would be to support that local instance offer your services to help moderate other languages in the future. #MastodonAdmin #mastodon #langauge #translate

'.. colonizers had immense difficulty getting people to work on their mines and plantations. .. people tended to prefer their subsistence lifestyles, and wages were not high enough to induce them to leave. Colonizers had to coerce people into the #LaborMarket: imposing taxes, enclosing #commons and constraining access to food, or just outright forcing people off their land. '
