beautiful cats.
wow, a linguist. do you study the lao language also? it sounds very alike with thai. i'm curious because i'm interested myself to learn lao (as part of my fascination in learning different languages and how these structures work in relation to cognition - i did want to take up linguistics before but took a different path instead at behavior and cultural studies).
Dear Arcibald,
I don't know Lao exactly but I can understand them when they talk. Isan people in Thailand also call themselves Lao.
In my first year of Ph.D. I also took a lot of course in Historical Linguistics. Lao is one of Tai languages and is still pure Tai much more than Thai language.
You arr Philipino?? Peudo bablar espanol.

hi. yes i am filipino (as we say it now based on the filipino lingua franca) or pilipino (in the local languages - as there is no f in my local tongue tagalog, but f does exist in some other local languages in the philippines).
i have to apologize but i'm hard at understanding spanish. although the philippines has been under the spanish for more than 300years (which explains why a lot of the words we use have spanish origins), my generation no longer got the opportunity to learn spanish as a mandatory subject in school (before it was a required subject, but not today). in my college years, i was able to take up basic italian and basic german but stopped there.
so unfortunately! I speak German. it is my major in high school and undergraduate.
Now I shift to Korean but only for research. I cannot speak but can survive in Seoul.
It's new to me to talk on blogs because I am very low tech.
Soon I will Tibetan language.
