Cassana 🍻<p>So I'm learning about a little known extinct Creole <a href="https://the-crossroads-inn.com/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>language</span></a> called Sabir AKA the original Lingua Franca, which was spoken by sailors/merchants across the Mediterranean between the 15th and 19th century. The language combined Italian, Occitan, French, Arabic and Turkish. Sadly we don't have many written sources about it, and it likely had various dialects.<br>E mi pensar star honta Sabir star lingua perso (And I think it's a shame Sabir is a lost language) <a href="https://the-crossroads-inn.com/tags/Linguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linguistics</span></a>… (1/2)</p>

elilla&, travesti ativa antifa<p>Someone asked me what did I mean when I said "Japanese Sign Language has gender, like German, and unlike German Sign Language which is gender-free like Japanese". Answer:</p><p>It's very interesting—the thumb is the "male" finger, and the pinkie is "female". You commonly use this as a suffix, by signing something like "person" or "doctor" then extending a closed fist with the intended gender finger. This suffix is bound and doesn't occur by itself. Some signs also incorporate it as something akin to inflection or compounding—compare the sign for "lesbian":<br><a href="https://media.spreadthesign.com/video/mp4/7/339768.mp4" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">media.spreadthesign.com/video/</span><span class="invisible">mp4/7/339768.mp4</span></a><br>with "gay":<br><a href="https://media.spreadthesign.com/video/mp4/7/350084.mp4" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">media.spreadthesign.com/video/</span><span class="invisible">mp4/7/350084.mp4</span></a></p><p>I was once with a bigender person and I suggested them that their gender could be represented by extending both fingers in Japanese Sign Language (my flirting technique remains flawless). Alas, in actual JSL, extending both fingers represents "a mixed-gender group", or, often, "a hetero/married couple". So the sign for "society" can be inflected with the thumbs to represent "all men" or with both fingers for "all people", for example.
