Prediction: Singlish transitions from creole toward the "low" half of an English diglossia - i.e. more language-like. As native Singaporeans resent the PAP's immigration policies, they'll use Singlish to distinguish themselves from newcomers (cf. Cantonese in HK). Singlish's status will rise, and a "correct" Singlish will emerge

“Fui a Cabo Verde de vacaciones, hablé gallego y… nada”. Há pessoas em Cabo Verde q têm q fazer um esforço para falar português, porque não é a sua língua habitual. Senhores, a diglossia não é um fenómeno exclusivo da Galiza

olá ^^ o ponto de vista dele do ptbr sofrer duma diglossia é ótima, mas não comparto a posição de q é uma língua já independente, a inteligibilidade é alta com todos as variantes do portugalego, exceto alguns dialetos dos Açores 😅😅

Nijam cheppara nuvvu andhra vadive kadha? edho chichu pettali ani cheppi elimudra argument chesi telangana ijjat theesthunnav kadha? Diglossia ki dialactic difference ki theda ledha?

Ya namanya bahasa alami, pasti ada diglossia. Bisa saja beda dialek beda epentesis. Tapi hipotesis dari kata hau rwi itu juga masuk akal.

class. the elite class of natives directly under ur imperial rule. their language is crude bcz they have discarded pre existing core of their language to assimilate into ur imperial tongue. this is diglossia. farsi (H) - urdu (L) is diglossic urdu - hindi are NOT diglossic

India was a diglossic society. In such a place, the upper echelon of language HAS to be a standardised form of a crude, commonly spoken language (or koine, in this case, which was hindustani/hindi). That's foundational linguistics. It's how diglossia happens.

Absolutely show continuity Joseph defines continuity precisely as unbroken transmission across generations. That is the core of his argument Documents how Greek persists through time because speakers keep passing it on even while undergoes internal change & experiences diglossia

This paper does not prove what you think it proves. It discusses language continuity through transmission, not unchanged linguistic sameness. Brian D. Joseph explicitly treats continuity as an unbroken line of transmission across generations, while also showing that language contact, borrowing, diglossia, and artificial archaizing forms can exist within that history. In fact, the paper distinguishes between natural continuity and artificial continuity in the Greek case: Demotic represents organic linguistic development, while Katharevousa is described as an artificially forged connection to the ancient past. Greek language continuity is not sameness. Continuity is not purity. Continuity is not isolation. Continuity is not proof that Modern Greek is Ancient Greek. The paper supports a contact-and-change model, not a nationalist fantasy of an unchanged Greek language moving intact through time.

Arabs are not really a single ethnicity and spoken Arabic reflects this. There is extreme diglossia between standard Arabic (Fusha) and the dialects, which preserve features of the dominant pre-Islamic languages like Coptic and Aramaic.

Biondo was clearly right, but Bruno's thesis is not entirely crazy either. Many of the later analogically-levelled declensions and conjugations in Romance likely originated in the vernacular of the imperial period, though they were never written down. Greek also developed a diglossia that grew more pronounced with time. One need only compare the common speech in the New Testament to the contemporary Attic of the sophists.

diglossia is inevitable. The standard language is already unified

The fact that Tamil maintains a strong diglossia is actually the evidence of Tamil's written tradition being ancient and unbroken, not evidence against it. Ancient Sangam era people called themselves Tamil, but Hindi itself is a Persian derived word. Rather in my dialect (Palakkad Iyer Tamil), most of these changes that you mentioned didn't even happen. I think some butthurt lemurs insulted your culture so you're getting overly defensive.

There's a simple trick to prove that Hindi or any IA language is as old as Tamil, Telugu or Kannada. The hint is hidden in Phonology. It's a known fact that standard register of Tamil is very much based on medieval Tamil. Same applies to Kannada. Indo-Aryan languages except Sinhala, Dhivehi rarely experience a diglossia where written form is based on medieval grammatical forms. Let's discuss each and every point one by one. 1) ऐ or अय could become ए using Prakrit rules. करोति (Sanskrit) » करइ (Prakrit) » करे (Hindi) देवालय, शिवालय » देवाले, शिवाले (Temple) Now come to Tamil. கிடைக்கும் » கெடெக்கும் (Available) किडैक्कुम् (Formal) » कॆडॆक्कुम् (Informal) வரைவாள் -> வரெவா (She draws) वरैवाळ् (Formal) -> वरॆवा (Informal) 2) अय, आय could become ए likewise पाइलो (Medieval Bangla) » पेलो (He got) (Modern Bangla) Again come to Tamil. வருவாய் » வருவே (You come) वरुवाय् » वरुवे போனாய் » போனே (You go) पोनाय् » पोने Further, there are even more phonetic corruptions in Modern Tamil and Malayalam from Middle Tamil which could have preserved better in their pristine originality in IA languages. த்த » ச்ச (त्त » च्च) ந்த » ஞ்ச (न्द » ञ्‍ज) Considering the above corruptions, I think Awadhi is more closer to Apabhramsha (the counterpart of Middle Tamil). Next time some South Indian rants about classical status of their own language, consider showing this as proof and conclude with this saying “उलटा चोर कोतवाल को डाँटे!”

Even if we consider only the Gangetic varities (Braj, Awadhi, Bundeli, Bagheli, Chattisgarhi), these varities already HAD stable diglossia in the form of the "Hindavi" that people call Old Hindi (3/x)

The Author of Hindi Nationalism, Alok Rai, presents the point that akin to Bangla, Standard Hindi must inculcate diglossia with it's vernacular varities. While I respect his position, I disagree for a few reasons (1/x)

Tamil has one of the richest linguistic histories in the world. 80M Speaker globally A literary tradition that goes back more than 2,000 year Spoken widely acros India Sri Lanka, Singapore, and diaspora communitie worldwide But Despite its Scale and history quality Tamil voice data for AI is still limited. And Tamil bring challenge that many AI System Are not built for. The language has strong diglossia meaning written Tamil and spoken Tamil can sound very different in real conversations. On top of that spoken Tamil change a lot depending on: Region Social background Generation Country Real conversational Tamil also include: heavy dialect diversity English Code Switching fast natural Speech Pattern informal expressions Rarely found in structured dataset Most AI Voice Models are trained on cleaner and more standardized speech. But Everyday Tamil is dynamic layered And highly conversational. That difference becomes critical when AI Move beyond demos into real-world usage. Almost every other Numo language milestone has already been achieved. Tamil is now the final campaign remaining. The progress so far has been massive in a very short time. @StoryProtocol

Diglossia. Tamil has high degree of diglossia. Kannada too but less than Tamil.

Addanna DIGLOSSIA anthaare.. spoken bere, written bere.. kannadakku, Marathi gu aa problem illa ..ilve illa . Kannada dalli samskruta pada balike hecchu.. aa padagalu marathi yallu kaanisikollute. Mathanaaduva rithi...speed. Slow idre arthavaaguvudu kashta...

Forcing the country with the most English speakers into diglossia with britpilled Finnish spelling 🤢
