And so they thought of my grandparents talking. But you chose a bad reference. Klingon is a made up language meant to sound alien. Native tongues have been spoken for thousands of years. Interestingly enough... The Klingon language is based on elements from various real-world languages, created by linguist Marc Okrand for the Star Trek franchise. It was designed to sound alien and harsh, and it draws heavily from languages like Quechua, Nahuatl, Hixkaryana, Hebrew, Ancient Arabic, and several American Indian languages Things like the upside down question marks and other unfamiliar symbols are used to represent the guttural sounds often produced in the throat. 1 hour ago, herbie said: Hell we still use Chinook words out west, from the old blended trading language. And even the country and half what's in it is made up of Anglicized native words. Non native locals were using the occasional native words hereabouts before I settled here over 50 years ago.

herbie Posted October 12, 2025 Report Posted October 12, 2025 How they got here? I supposed then if the one that came by boat feel superior to the ones that walked, the ones that flew should feel top dog? What's that matter? Growing up in the mainland many streets, rivers, towns and other landmarks were anglisized spellings of native names. Want to condense them to text message spellings cuz that's easy and modern? Think your mail won't get delivered to Brantford anymore? Or to whatever the hell street is now? Check your property assessment, see if that's changed.

Venandi Posted October 12, 2025 Report Posted October 12, 2025 (edited) Locating people in an emergency can be a challenge at the best of times. Why is this always about racism, Hitler, or some minority rights issue? If street signs are written in one of the nation's official languages, all you need to do is shout a couple of names at the dispatcher and then wave at the pretty lights... we'll find you. But.... if you look at the intersecting street signs and see: ポーテージ and メイン it becomes a bit more time consuming and problematic for most people. Big picture now, you play dispatcher.... what province is that intersection in Herb? Here, I'll help ya. And it's not just indecipherable names either, people get rattled and if you have a Maple St, Maple Ave, and Maple Lane in the same town I'd say exactly the same thing for the same reason. Never know though, I may be prejudiced against all 10 species of Maple tree's that grow in Canada... right Herb? How about some "Acer Saccharum" syrup on those pancakes?

Army Guy Posted October 12, 2025 Report Posted October 12, 2025 No i agree lets do away with all this colonization shit...English and French sucks, we could create complete caus by having 15 or 20 native languages spoken it would go with all the rest of the sh!t the left has thought off, like infinite amount of genders ring a bell, ya that was a mental health episode ....... lets make one or all native languages the primary language of Canada...they could send us to residential schools...treat us like sh!t...And we wonder who in the blue blazes thinks of all this stuff...it can only be the left.....I mean come on....just stop thinking Canada's native languages are English, or French, this is how we communicate, it is the language our constitution is written in....How stupid would it be today to start changing the names of street signs to placate a minority group...for all the reason already covered here....you want to learn another language give er, right now this is Canada....and here we speak English and French.... get over it.... 1 Quote We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful.

I can help you with that one: it's pronounced "Gibberish Elementary School". 1 Quote If the Cultist Narrative Network/Cultist Broadcasting Corporation gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, leftists would believe everything they typed.

Loon Lake renamed ʕaʔuk ʔaama k̓anis For example, the town of Greenville became known again as Laxgalts’ap, The name Stawamus is the anglicized version of St’á7mes, which refers to a village site at the base of the mountain. The mountain’s names known as Siy̓ám Smanít to the Squamish, meaning Highly Respected Mountain or Smánit tl’a St’á7mes (Mountain of St’á7mes). These changes seem to be totally blind to the real world. Who can even begin to pronounce these bizarre spellings? They don't meet any kind of rule of grammar or rational thinking. They are useless because nobody can pronounce them. It is extremely doubtful there is any aboriginal who could even pronounce such a name. They seem to add strange shaped symbols to the spelling which are not even a part of the alphabet. They do not meet any rules of grammar or pronunciation. So what is the reason for all these changes in place names? Perhaps it is all part of the pushback against the colonials for being here. Perhaps part of an effort to claim vast areas of land that never even occupied to begin with and demand endless compensation from non-natives for even being here. Thanks to the communist NDP, they are the ones that have said that any new projects to be created in BC, they all must be blessed by the Indian feather first and than a war dance and tom-toms to follow. It seems that nothing will ever get or go anywhere any more here in BC because of the bunch of ingrates that have been pretty much allowed to now stop all progress and projects and continue to steal billions of taxpayer's tax dollars and they still want more. These Indians despise white people but have no problem taking white mans money and their toys for their pleasure and enjoyment from we the sucker white people. These Indians should be thankful that old whitey came along and built up this country for them. They have benefitted big time thanks to old whitey. Ask them if they would like to go back to the good old Indian days of the past, and there would be a resounding NO freaking way, white man. We are doing just fine, whitey. Disgusting indeed. ☹️ Quote
