Magyar/pol/. Paprika Edition
why do you keep making these
all huns are sleeping now
Why should anyone learn Hungarian? Honest question.
Paprika can suck my fucking dick
It's only an hour ahead. Then again I am unemployed.
Because it's truely unique and has concepts alien to Indo-European languages.
Well if you like Hungary and Hungarians enough and you're that type of autist, it's fun to speak it. Also because it sounds really good and speaking more languages is a net benefit, intellectually speaking.
Mustache duel it is.
This, is Basque still contentious in Spain?
I don't think so. Language minorities here have suffered a sort of 'revival' in the past years, politically speaking (like the situation with Bable in Asturias, or Aragones in Aragon), but in truth pretty much all of them except maybe Catalan are dying languages and the people from those regions don't care that much, there are only a few (Batasuna for example, in case of Basques) that actively want to preserve their language (but they also have ulterior motives that are stupid). But if you mean contentious as in controversial, then no? I don't think the Basque issue has been that fiery since the mid 2000s, because people grew tired (even some Basques) of Batasuna & Co blowing up innocent Spaniards, and ETA stopped terrorism. So no one pretty much cares, me neither, I hope Basque survives even if it is a half-assed invented language at this point since its revival.
I agree with this. I have studied Basque. It misses a lot of concepts and seems grugish. Strangely enough Irish and Welsh has a Vasconic Substratum.
Well I believe the Basques and Northwestern Iberians are closely related with the people of the British Isles, ancient ties, maybe that's the most likely source? Pre-Celtic?
Brits can't stop harassing the Spanish on their own coastline so there's definately more than a passing connection. I never understood English barbarism in Benidorm.
Heh well if only English tourists were the worst of our problems in terms of foreigners. I'd rather have all the migrants from certain countries, that now number in the few millions here, replaced with lads from the Midlands and such, would be a much better timeline that's for sure.
Catalonians are an odd breed. Want to be independent yet totally obliterated culturally at the same time, just like Scotsmen. Fatalistic streak. I knew a Catalan lass, they are like the French but somehow worse in being less self-aware.
No, not culturally, ethnically.
Trust me I'm Catalonian myself and lived most of my life here in Catalonia and I can't believe the level of ignorance of this region. Going through school and the massive indoctrination effort the Generalitat is making now and in the last 40 years were fun times.
Well culture is also tied to ethnos but yeah, I understand. It's either pic related or South Americans, but none are useful nor a benefit to us. I believe we're the region with most migrants thanks to that decadent and open-air sewer called Barcelona, but even if you go North to Girona there are small villages and even Girona itself that are infested with Moroccans and Africans, they're a literal plague.
The migrants tend to "Roam" a lot and for no good reason there that I have seen. Very collectivist and Wolf-like in behavior, completely at odds with Europe.
Yes for some reason I've come to observe this behaviour a lot, but not only here, practically in all of Europe. It is very rare to see a migrant by themselves, they're usually 2 or more, for example, even in certain jobs like delivery, 90% of the folks are foreigners (might also have to do with it being an easy profession that does not have many requirements, and it doesn't pay that well). Migrants also tend to rent places in groups, as in, one guy will rent a flat with several rooms and then rent the rooms to other migrants, this is very common in Barcelona. So they're basically always in their bubble, living with their own, practically working with their own as well (in the last years a lot of them are working in certain farming areas in the South too).
In a way this is preferable, as it does not allow them to assimilate (which is undesirable, mixing is simply bad), but then it causes towns and society to lose its distinct national heritage, as many feel that they're not living in the country they were born in originally.
I think it redpills people greatly too. Things are changing here and I don't think even Brit/pol/ is aware, Starmer was basically mobbed by a bunch of protestors shouting "Traitor". At this point, I think the serious Right-Wing have a good chance of taking power in the 21st century especially if America implodes. If only they reject E-Celebritydom but then again once America implodes their grift will run dry.
