What does shagm shateg right mean? Is it Welsh?

Transliteration of the cyrillics made to look like warm water port to the English alphabet

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I am guessing it is how the fake cyrillic is actually pronounced.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I tried searching for it, and just found this post. I'm guessing that was an epic mistype failure.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

It's clearly the transliteration of the fake cyrillic above.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ahh yes, dedicating all your real, tangible energy to hating fake nations.

This is the world's sanest tankie.

Its basically a requirement of being russian, to marry your identiy of being russian to the russian state, and the identity of the russian state basically boils down to a bunch of imperialist psuedo-nazis (and overt nazis) who are obsessed with large borders, dying in droves in huge wars for national prestige, and living like shit just to maintain the image and arsenal that you are opposing some great evil, like the amorphous "west"

Say what you want about the Russian people, it's government, the culture, even the food.

The language got absolutely fucked with that alphabet.

Let's take an Asian tribal language and have two Greek guys force a Latin alphabet on it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There isn't a language on earth that wears its alphabet worse than English.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

French does come close, tho, which explains some 30-40% of english's nonsensical fuckery

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

We took French, mangled it, added German, Spanish and sailor, and then had a bar fight. What rolled out is the English language.

Slavic languages are related to other European languages closer than Finnish and Hungarian, also the writing system Cyril introduced was Glagolitic, the reason Cyrillic appeared was because students in Bulgaria didn't want to use the rather complex glagolitic alphabet for everything and already knew the greek alphabet, so they kind of combined them and created Cyrillic

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Also, Cyrillic can represent features like palatalization better than the Latin alphabet does, not saying it's the best for everything but it does have advantages

Wasn't he quoting somebody else here?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, green text is used to strawman the comment you are replying to

Or tell a story about what sopposedlh happened to you

Rarely used to quote someone

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I see. However, there's no > in the Russian layout. So they'd have to switch to English, type >, switch back to Russian, type и, and then switch again to English to continue typing the post. That'd be strange to say the least.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

On 4chan, if you reply to a post it puts the > in for you. He just deleted what was there and typed in something else.

At least I think that's how it works. I could be wrong, since I haven't set foot in 4chan in like a decade.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The other reply is wrong. If you have part of a post highlighted when you click its post number to reply, it will automatically put the highlighted text in front of the meme arrow. The image is definitely implying that the person they were replying to accidentally used a Cyrillic character.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Yes, but the cowbell already rang.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago (4 children)

That's all Slavic шanguages

[–] [email protected] 72 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sure, but not all Slavic languages are trying to sow discontent by spreading misinformation.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (5 children)

i don't get it, though other languages all at least partially use Cyrillic, Polish doesn't. there's some linguist fan project that made a "Polish Cyrillic" but historically the Polish langauge (as opposed to Poland itself as there's been a few attempts at a russification during occupations) has never used Cyrillic

You're just being difficult to argue a stupid point. It's fairly clear who the real culprit is.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not all, some have switched to Latin, like Polish, Czech, Slovak, to name a few.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Switched from what, Glagolithic?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yeah, with exception of Polish, which used Latin from the start, Czech and Slovak briefly used Glagolitic alphabet, which is much closer to Greek alphabet and basically the precursor to Cyrillic. I should've been more specific.
Some Slavic languages did switch directly from Cyrillic to Latin alphabet though. And some non-Slavic languages use Cyrillic to this day (although in process of switching to Latin).

Ah yes: "Russia will just buy oil from their allies! It's not a problem to do that".

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think Trump might be more up for supporting Ukraine than we think. US oil and gas industry has made bank from this war. The US is the largest oil producer in the world.

I don't think he's smart enough to think along those lines but here's hoping someone can get him to understand.
