Portuguese put the words it inherited from Latin through a lot of fascinating sound changes.
This becomes extra clear when you compare them to later borrowings of the same Latin word:
‘chão’ and ‘plano’ both come from Latin ‘plānum’!
Here’s episode 5 of my 10-part series.
Tomorrow: Romanian.
Today is the final day to send us your abstracts! You have until midnight (UK time)! 😁 Here is the submission link: forms.cloud.microsoft/pages/respon...

We already know. A friendly "hey I hope you're OK" is much more helpful. 💖

Anna Foka giving a keynote. The slide concerns "inclusive simulation imaginaries", which are described as socially, ethically, and future focused. An image on the slide depicts an iceberg, saying we're just at the tip
Anna Foka giving a brilliant keynote on "AI and Heritage: Critical perspectives on AI for the Archives, Libraries and Museum sector" – and of course, I was especially happy about the opportunity to quickly revive my Swedish reading skills on some of the slides showing ongoing projects ☺️
