Many of these diffs are from quite early, when I was more active here. I am going to tentatively break this up into sections ordered by theme, but might decide it was better when it was mostly chronological.

Many of these diffs are from quite early, when I was more active here. I am going to tentatively break this up into sections ordered by theme, but might decide it was better when it was mostly chronological.


Very early diffs

  • At least someone likes them.

Language

  • The speakers of the Seward Peninsula dialects are known for their skill in nonverbal communication.
  • Excerpts from the Pingelapese language article as of Apr 16 2018:
    • The other cultural influences that are evident throughout Pingelapese history is the Spanish era portrayed in the Pingelapese dance called "Din Dihn" which is loosely translated in English to "Tin Tin". The dance reflects the introduction of a durable and foreign material called Tin by the Spaniards.
    • There is a set of words designated for deceiving long nouns, such as trees or roads.
    • The only other two languages in Micronesia that use triplification are Tibetan, Chintang, Batwana, and Thao.
    • It has been reported that around fifty years ago there was an early orthography taught at the Pingelap elementary atoll. It is not known to many people, but elderly Pingelapese people have confirmed it.
    • The Pingelapse language consists of a total of thirty five phonemes. There are 11 consonants and 14 vowels.
    • Pingelapese has ten syllables and eight vowel phonemes. This is the first recorded Pohnpeic language that has an eight-vowel system. Multiple young and elderly Pingelapese speakers in the Mwalok and Pingelap atoll can confirm this recent discovery of the eighth vowel.
    • Stand alone auxiliary verbs are also a constant in Pingelapese. These verbs are created by taking the ae, aen, e, and e from the pronoun auxiliary complex and will leave the person/number morphemes out.
  • Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah! I know something you dont know! And 🎶Im not telling yo-o-o-o-u🎵
  • We have high hopes. (notice what year this is for)
  • Proof of a lost colony?
  • Yes, those are much better words. (This edit stood unchallenged for seven years while the rest of us blushed and pretended not to see it.)
  • Because I never could get the hang of typing out those annoying IPA templates, I provided a clearer answer.
  • I've heard it's poor form to laugh at our own jokes, but I had help with this one.
