From pages 24-25 of Babel by R.F. Kuang, where the Latin teacher scolds the student Robin for not remembering his macrons: ‘Even the length of a single vowel matters, Robin Swift. Consider the Bible. The original Hebrew text never specifies what sort of forbidden fruit the serpent persuades Eve to eat. But in Latin, malum means “bad” and mΔlum,’ he wrote the words out for Robin, emphasizing the macron with force, ‘means “apple”.Started reading Babel by RF Kuang π
I did my undergrad in Linguistics, but only speak 2 languages. People always ask: βWhat is the easiest/hardest language to learn?β The answer can be captured in a concept from Xerox PARC: Teslerβs Law. All languages are complex in their own way, itβs just about where they hide their complexity.

Finished Last Argument of Kings by Joe Abercrombie π
This is the final book in the First Law trilogy, which I canβt stop recommending to people. The way it all wraps up, coiled tightly like a spring in a watch, powering the most intricate hands round-and-round as it tells the story. Brilliant!
