      I hate read r/badlinguistics sometimes and it’s 90% shit like this. Most people making these kinds of claims are some kind of reactionary using it as justification for their bigotry or nationalists that bend shit to feel superior for having been born somewhere.

      “Changing language is bad and makes you a big dumb idiot, except for the changes i was brought up with those get a pass. And also everything descends from Tamil”

        Love all the weirdos trying to prove every language descends from Sanskrit/Tamil/Hebrew/Korean/Latin/whatever.
