E di se sipas traditës këtë mëngjes unë duhet të vendos kartolina të tipit "Gëzuar Përvjetorin!", në tabakanë ku ndodhet mëngjesi yt. Por gjërat janë disi të ndërlikuara. Unë i zëvendësova ato me një dhuratë të cilën e dorëzova disa javë më parë. Sidoqoftë kjo mbetet dita që shënon 31 vite lumturie, të tillë që rrallë burrave u ndodh.

55 տարի առաջ Շառլ Ազնավուրն իր նորամուտի համերգով հանդես եկավ Փարիզի հանրահայտ «Օլիմպիա» համերգասրահում։ Բազմաթիվ համերգներից հետո աշխարհահռչակ երգիչը այս տարի կրկին նույն տեղում իր երկրպագուներին կնվիրի իր կատարումները։
Ազնավուրը այս տարվա աշնանը համերգով հանդես կգա նույն համերգասրահում։ Այս մասին երգիչը հայտարարել է «Europe 1» ֆրանսիական ռադիոկայանին տված հարցազրույցի ժամանակ. «Ես վերադառնում եմ նույն համերգասրահ, այսպիսով կփակվի «Օլիմպիայում» իմ համերգների շրջանը։ Արդեն 88 տարիս կլրանա, մի օր վերջապես պիտի դադարեն համերգները»։

وقد بدت ردود الأفعال متشنجة إلى حد بعيد حيث أدى الإحباط الذي أحدثه خطاب مبارك إلى ثورة غضب عارم بين صفوف المتظاهرين الذين انخرط بعضهم في صراخ هستيري غير مصدق ما سمعته أذناه، بينما بكت مجموعة من الفتيات بصوت عال وسادت أجواء من النحيب بين مجموعات نسائية اعتبرت ما ورد في الخطاب تنكرا لدماء الشهداء الزكية.

Hoewel werkskepping inderdaad die vernaamste tema was en die staatshoof twee belangrike ingrypings aangekondig het, het hy wye draaie geloop sonder om rigting te gee aan debatvoering oor die nasionalisering van myne, die skepping van “menswaardige” werk, arbeidswetgewing en eise om die wisselkoers te verswak.

I can still read Middle English but always kicked myself for not learning Old English. Original Beowulf looks so much cooler in OE
... Wiht unhælo,

reoc ond reþe, ond on ræste genam
þritig þegna; þanon eft gewat

Ða wæs on uhtan mid ærdæge
Grendles guðcræft gumum undyrne;
þa wæs æfter wiste wop up ahafen,

I have a soft spot for written Vietnamese due to like the NINE tones and all the diacritics everywhere:

Sau một năm đầy biến động của thị trường tiền tệ ngân hàng với lạm phát, lãi suất chỉ thấp hơn mức đỉnh năm 2008 và tiền đồng giảm giá mạnh nhất kể từ cuộc khủng hoảng kinh tế trong khu vực vào năm 1997-1998 nhưng hầu hết các ngân hàng lại lãi lớn ở mức vượt kế hoạch trên dưới 30%. Kết quả này là nhờ vào một số chính sách đã đem lại lợi thế cho ngân hàng và đẩy gánh nặng cho nền kinh tế.

LOOK AT THAT SHIT

Otm, especially in the calligraphic/cursive script they use, love!

there are loads of volapuk pages for eg american towns that have obv been added by script

Arabic is definitely the prettiest script.

Handwritten japanese one of my favorite things

http://www.vietnamsunshinetravel.com/cambodia/images01/learn_khmer_language.gif

That character for "I" is lovely

The letter r was avoided in Schleyer's original Volapük, on the principle that it would be difficult for Chinese speakers to pronounce, and in the adoption of foreign roots r was generally changed to l. For example, English rose becomes lol.

Japanese looks like a mess to me because they mash together FOUR different character sets:

創刊1897年。ジャパンタイムズは常に公正でクロスカルチュラルな視点に立ち、変貌する国際社会を見続けてきました。国内ニュースはもとより、海外に張りめぐらされたネットワークにより、世界中から最新のニュースをお届けしています。

This hilarious (to me) snippet suggests what must once have been a bitter animosity between constructed language partisans:

Also in Esperanto, a rival constructed language, the expression Tio estas volapukaĵo por mi (That is a Volapük-thing for me) is sometimes used like the English "it's Greek to me" (that is, "I can't understand this" or "this is nonsense"). Volapukaĵo is also a slang Esperanto term for "Nonsense".

i feel in touch with the spirit of de subjectivisten tho

Akkadian (the language Gilgamesh was written in) is elegantly repetitive, with the characters looking like they're on the verge of turning into fractals:

Vietnamese could be considered a dialect of Cantonese/Hakka, and until the French invaded, their language was entirely Chinese hanzi (ideographs), unlike these days which is an odd Romanized script courtesy of the French conquest.

The example of "Vietnamese" above is simply Chinese fwiw. NB: I don't understand it. ^___^

it's probably bullshit, but their numbers are pretty literal:

The Khitan scripts were the writing systems for the now-extinct Khitan language, used in the 10th-12th century by the Khitan people. who had created the Liao Empire in north-eastern China. There were two scripts, known as the large script and the small script. These were functionally independent and appear to have been used simultaneously. The Khitan scripts continued to be in use to some extent by the Jurchens for several decades after the fall of the Liao Dynasty, until the Jurchens fully switched to a script of their own.

Many scholars recognize that the Khitan scripts have not been fully deciphered, and that more research and discoveries would be necessary for a proficient understanding of them. The Khitan scripts are part of the Chinese family of scripts.

woodblock printed book of meaningless characters (that like the khitan characters show elements of familiar chinese script)
a big book of carefully constructed nonsense

^ some ge'ez written on goatskin, I think made to be a souvenier & thus written w/ the implicit assumption that none of the ppl who ever looked at it wld be able to read it. i'm so attached to the idea that it's a collection of carlton banks quotes or something i wld be disappointed to find out it's a legit religious book - fortunately, i will never know

მეგობრებო, წესიერი და სანდო კომპანია ხომ არ გეგულებათ თბილისში, ავტომობილები რომ ჩამოყავდეს გერმანიიდან?

მე ზოგჯერ საინტერესოა, თუ არა მე უნდა ასწავლოს თავს საქართველოს, არამედ ვფიქრობ, რომ მხოლოდ ოდესმე გამოიყენოს იგი შეუკვეთოთ საკვები მოსკოვში რესტორნების ასე არ აწუხებს.
