I'm also fascinated by #linguistics (especially #writingSystems); foreign #languages including #Spanish , #German , #French and bits of others; innovative #architecture and #urbanism; and #art including #drawing and #photography.

Scientific American - What’s the World’s Oldest Language?

I get why this is the sort of story #scicomm publications want to run with, but it's really not a meaningful question in #linguistics, and trying to make it more answerable by basing #language age on #languages with #writing is not the greatest message as it implies that many of those unwritten #endangeredlanguages they mention have less value.

The Cyrillic "Гг" also matches uppercase Greek gamma "Γ", which was historically /g/ but has undergone a process called lenition or spirantization. It is now pronounced with a sound that linguists actually represent in the #InternationalPhoneticAlphabet with lowercase Greek gamma /ɣ/. It sounds to English ears a bit like a voiced "h", so there is at least a superficial parallel between Ukrainian and Greek.

Sure thing! I have a lot of resources and there are a couple people here who do well with #writingsystems.

Also, if you need any information about #Persian, I know a thing or two about the language.

#Linguistics (#LinguisticHistory?) question for folks:
What are the most recent letters to be added?
I know that not all #Languages or #WritingSystems use letters, but I'm curious to know from those that do (like Latin scripts?) what the newest letters are.

Boosts appreciated!
