    UPDATE Somali culture,ethics and history is added to Minnesota schools curriculum officially as a class

    Scientifically there is a difference between monolingually-raised/majority language region native speakers and heritage ''native'' speakers. Read the intro of that paper. Native speaker is a terrible term and lumps these two groups together despite them having vastly different abilities in a...

    UPDATE Somali culture,ethics and history is added to Minnesota schools curriculum officially as a class

    There are multiple definitions of it and even in that definition, diaspora Somalis don't match the ''region where the child lives'' criteria. Here is a huge paper speaking out against lumping native speakers who live in the region where the language is dominant and heritage speakers into the...

    UPDATE Somali culture,ethics and history is added to Minnesota schools curriculum officially as a class

    IMO, first / native language to me implies one reached full development in that language, i.e. spent most of your childhood plus early formal education in it. Heritage speakers are IMO not native / first language speakers of a language since the host nation's language is usually far more...

    UPDATE Somali culture,ethics and history is added to Minnesota schools curriculum officially as a class

    @Idilinaa There is a difference between a heritage language and a native/first language. Almost no Somalis born and raised in the West are solid native speakers of Af-Somali, they are second language speakers of the language. Linguists use the term heritage speaker for such people. The term...

    Big Arab YouTuber Travels To Somaliland

    Germany is famous for this. Germans are weirdly afraid of government tyranny. Google street view was delayed in Germany for a very long time for the same reason and still barely covers rural Germany while it covers all of rural UK and rural France etc. Germans are a weird bunch of lads, the...

    ADOS people angry Africans taking over Howard

    It varies by region and also depends on the source data. When they use the 23andMe database, the European goes up, as more ambiguous looking AAs are more likely to test. When they use academically sampled samples from the West coast, European also goes up. When they use academically sampled...

    I low key still think the US deep state may be behind bitcoin. We shall see. If those are weak restrictions it confirms it, if they go full ban hammer, then I have to revise this conspiracy theory.

    ''Video unavailable This video is not available in your country'' This is CCP level tyranny. Absolutely disgusted by it. @Shimbiris living under an Arab monarchy has more freedom than Europeans. :wtfdis::mjcry:

    @mrlog Check out the video. It is a big brained analysis on Russia's long term geopolitical goals. The video was created in 2019 and explains why Russia behaves the way it does, i.e. its alliance with Venezuela, Syria, China etc and why it is so anti-Western.

    I think moonbeam (GLMR) has better pumpamentals. It is an L1, while acala is DeFi. L1s tends to outperform DeFi tokens. Problem is identifying the BTC bottom.

    HIV DRAMA

    "We deliberately spread Aids in South Africa" a former member of South Africa’s Apartheid-era intelligence service confesses. COVID-19 = China's government behind it. HIV = potentially apartheid South Africa's government behind it.

    HIV DRAMA

    HIV will be cured within 15 years. They already are making major breakthroughs. What I find so suspect is that it rose rapidly in countries near South Africa just as apartheid was being abolished. The apartheid regime was known to do research on bioweapons.
