Posizioni conservatrici, connessioni con la destra ultranazionalista e sostenuta da un branco di mentecatti fra cui l'ex primo ministro che si è recentemente dimesso.

I'm sure I haven't mentioned it here (but did so at the time on the other social...) that this is the collection the index refers to.

Tamura's grammar doesn't use much of the terminology that has become common since it's publication, but the content is top notch.
If you want to know more about Sakhalin Ainu you can have a look at Murasaki's grammar or my works (no self-promotion intended 😁)

10 The Ainuic language family 10 The Ainuic language family was published in The Languages and Linguistics of Northern Asia on page 541.

I'm glad I could help =)
If you're looking for resources to learn Contemporary Ainu エクスプレスアイヌ語 is a good reading to start with
If you're interested in Classical Ainu I suggest Suzuko Tamura's Ainu Grammar or the language profile by Bugaeva + references therein www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi...

Hi there! So, mosir/mosiri mainly means 'land', 'island' or the place where people live as opposed to atuy/rep which is 'sea', and toy means 'ground', 'soil' indicating the element. I hope this helps =)

Cleopatra lived closer in time to 'yeet' being in the dictionary than to the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Sfrattare i #popoliindigeni dalle loro terre ancestrali è #colonialismo, anche quando lo si maschera da #conservazione.

"Abbiamo convissuto con le tigri per secoli. Veneriamo la tigre come una divinità. Finché saremo vivi, le tigri saranno al sicuro" ha detto Muthamma del popolo Jenu Kuruba.

Perché disturbare questa povera gente, fra gli ultimi fortunati a non essere appestati dalle grandi religioni monoteiste?

Tu sei #natura. Noi siamo natura. I #popoliindigeni sono natura. I popoli indigeni sanno che la natura non è separata dall’umanità. Non vivono semplicemente in armonia con il loro #ambiente - lo gestiscono, e meglio di chiunque altro!
