User talk:Node ue/Antarctic language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm curious about two sentences :
1. Antarctic is a language isolate spoken by the over ten billion indigenous inhabitants of Antarctica.
2. There is also a closely related but distinct language spoken in the South Georgia Islands, called the Snikkik language.
Question: How can a "language isolate" have a closely related language? David Cannon 11:17, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Question, David. How can a man named David apparently wake up to find his penis cut off? It's not like I have that kind of connections or anything...
Just read this article, after my sermon on the ethics of humour. I would enjoy to know more about this language. Can you provide tables on its morphology or anything like that or is your user space to limited to display all of them? Could understand that, having read about the extensiveness of its morphological system. By the way, judging from the word Sdfjjkllkklsflljk, I cautiously suggest a link with the South Caucasian languages; it might be a Nostratic language.
- Morphological tables would be difficult to present for a few reasons:
-
- Most Antarctic dialects have gender differences in pronunciation, like Chukchi (of the Kamchatska Penninsula).
- The sheer number of morphological possibilities would make any such list extremely long.
- It's difficult to obtain information about the language, and fieldwork is out of the question as ethnographic research is practically forbidden in the Antarctic. --Node 14:22, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
The extince of an extensive human population on Antarctica, a fact that has been concealed so far, throws new light over the mystery of ice on Antarctica, a discovery made a few years ago contradicting the Italians' claim to have invented ice.
