This doesn't make any sense... 

That's the point. Both options are confusing the choice to name it Washington to avoid confusion is stupid.

​@@ChrissieBear to be fair, at the time, Washington was one city within the District of Columbia. Other places like Georgetown were separately incorporated. They did not foresee that the Virginia portion would be retroceded, and that the city of Washington would grow to encompass the entire district.

thanks, not obama

Actually as I Washingtonian we where told that at the time of State Inauguration DC was just DC then it was named to Washington DC after Washington State was founded

It’s actually so dumb cause that makes way more sense now, folks used to just call it the District of Columbia more than Washington and they didn’t want it to be confused, but as far as the state goes the one thing everyone knew about it and where everyone lived on it was the Columbia River. It makes so much more sense. And given we never got Franklin or Lincoln it stands out.

and it can be translated as 'snow's march'?

Ironically the best rendition of this song was sang by Heinz Guderian and Erwin Rommel. lol

I don’t get it with all these people agreeing with the meme, I have never seen an Arabic person struggle to speak to another Arabic person from a different Arabic country before, the accents are not really that different😅

A better explanation is the fact that arabic is a macro-language that's only regarded as one by cultural reasons, its dialects are pretty much different from each other. The case of bosnian, serbian, croatian and montenegrin is by political disputes and the fact that croatian is written in the latin alphabet whereas the rest of these languages are written in the cyrillic alphabet, something that plays a more important role than what you might expect in the division of these dialects, as it's the same barrer that divides urdu and hindi or that once divided mozarabic and spanish. Montenegrin is probably the least individual language of these as it's just the western serbian dialect without changes at all, they just claim to speak a different language by no reason.

@@creeperboy6453 I know all of that, but thank you for your explanation. Some languages are not that different from each other, like Swedish and Norwegian. You could even consider them to be two dialects of the same language. However, some dialects are so different that you could even consider them to be two different languages, like the Moroccan dialect and the Egyptian dialect.

Russians do that most of the time

Pretty much the whole Levant dialect is the same

​@khalilabushahin418 nah. North Syrian dialect is different to south Jordan dialect. And they're both very different to Rural areas Palestinian dialect. But they can perfectly understand each other if they're from the same background (rural vs beduin) and of similar generation. I'm from Jordan. Can barely understand the older generation of rural Palestinians, the dialects mixed up later after the invasion, since I grew up in the city, I sound almost the same as Palestinians who live in Jordan with some differences in certain words. The difference in origin and colonists affected our dialects a bit. Syria and Lebanon by the french, Jordan and Palestine by the English. The level that Levant people understand each other depends on what they've been exposed to. The dialects sound the same to outsiders though 😅

no its fizzy drink

Slovakian people trying to speak in hungarian💀

Sorry Russian brother 🥰, but the fact that our languages sound somewhat similar does not mean that we can talk without a translator. That's why we now use English, which has historically imposed itself as a world language (which is a bitter irony because the English are our real enemies🤬, but also fortunate because it is extremely easy to learn). In the case of 05:50 Yugoslav newly composed nations, the matter is different because they all speak exactly the same language - SERBIAN, but they call it by different names because they hate Serbs.

Ye

I am Egyptian and sometimes I feel i am the only non magribin who understand your dialects. However, it's essentially one of the most preserved standard arabic dialects, maybe the french is a bit of a problem though.

Finally someone recognised the great RU-vidr hoser

Definitely not. West Slavic language, East Slavic languages and South Slavic languages aren't mutually understandable. You get more similarities within those sub-groups, but even then understanding someone with a different language gets very difficult most of the time. (As a Czech, I'm unable to hold a conversation with a Pole when sober.)

True

morrocan is ez maybe because i'm tunisian i guess yemeni is kinda hard.

i find it strange how the "dialects" of for example europe in general are considered different languages by people whereas the "arabic dialects" are considered the same languages, almost as if people disregard the differences and our historical trajectory.

Moroccan is most different and hardest, next comes other west African dialects, and some heavy dialects here and there, but the most commonly spoken dialects in Egypt, The Gulf, and The Levant are popular enough to be understood by anyone

​@@h1k0usen13 You wanna kill the Standad arabic like how the latin countries killed the beautiful Latin language ?

yeah urdu was initially called hindi then rekhta, and then it was urdu e mualla under shah jehan and finally was shortened to urdu a few years later

Well , there s a big mistake in what you Said right there . Hindi And Urdu did Not evolve from Persian . They evolved from hindustani which evolved from khari boli which evolved from shaurseni prakrit . There were many Persian And Arabic loan words in hindustani And khariboli but they were very much based on prakrit . That classical Latin And vulgar Latin analogy works better with Sanskrit And prakrit ,I think .

@@homomilleumbrae As mentioned in first sentence, it's a a diluted statement/gist that I wrote. And I never claimed that Hindi or Urdu is derived from Persian. As I see it, Persian was the language of the royal court while Hindi and Urdu evolved to bridge between what's spoken in the streets and what's spoken at royal chambers. Also, the idea of one language being a child of another is not the right way of seeing things, or so I think. So stating Prakrit came from Sanskrit makes it look like Prakrit is some form of inferior form of Sanskrit, which it wasn't/isn't. When speaking about languages, we cannot overlook nuances like regional and cultural influences given most languages that are in use in India have a continuum with one "standard" form.

@@Sandeepan I get what you are trying to say My point was that even though there was a huge influence of Persian on vernacular languages , they were still very much descendents of prakrit . Say for example English . English is classified as a Germanic language . Germanic languages descend from proto Germanic . But after william conquered England , English started absorbing French influences , French being A romance languages . The influence was so huge that in today's date . almost half of English vocabulary has origins in French . But despite that , English is still a Germanic language , its because it still has a very Germanic syntax And grammer Similarly, Hindi , despite the Persian influence , is still a member of the prakrit lineage . I Hope we are clear now

@@homomilleumbrae I'm agreeing with facts of your statement, such as "X language have significant number of words in its vocabulary from Y language" But I disagree with any statement like "X language came from Y" Both Persian and Vedic can trace it's root to proto Indio Iranian, and Sanskrit is just a locked down/standardized form of Vedic (hence Sankrit), while the uregulated form of Vedic evolved and branched into many north Indian languages... We both know these facts. To me, "Bengali came from Eastern Magadhi" and "Bengali belongs to Eastern Magadhi" are two completely different standpoint, and the former is kinda infuriating. I basically reject both of these statements: "Hindi came from Prakrit" and "Hindi came from Persian" "Hindi/Urdu constructed/evolved to bridge between language of the people and language of the royal court" feels like something that captures small nuances and stays respectful to the regional adaptations and variants (although I do not like to use the word variant in any context) ... I hope this makes my stand clear. I consider language to be the key identity and I've seen fractures along linguistic lines. That's exactly what I'm trying to avoid here.

Go see Slavic languages and Hungarian. Even casual words have swear word form
