Words for “yes” in Romance languages

This!

(Sorry... Fantastic article in any case. I send anything similar to a friend who studied linguistics. This one is going to her immediately.)

I really like profanity laced erudite articles, for some reason. Maybe it scratches a similar hitch that Rick does in Rick and Morty. Which makes me think, man I'd love to read a scientific paper written by Rick! :)

While it's a superb article, it strikes me as being distinctly aimed at laypeople, and I suspect someone who studied linguistics might already know large parts of it. (I haven't, but I know parts from having had Latin in school.)

(Also, it contains the words "This is not exactly what happened but it is basically what happened, please just fucking roll with it, this shit is long enough already." so I suspect there might be more in-depth material somewhere.)

Anyway, all of this is not aimed at you directly, but more of a general pondering of whether sending people articles on their subject matter is useful. Family members occasionally send me news articles on technology, which I usually find only moderately interesting.

I believe ancient linguistic nuances like this are sometimes divined from formally structured poetry, among other sources. Also analysis of languages thought to share a common ancestor could imply near-identical pronunciation in the past

Cool article
