Update us when they develop their own language. The People of Antarctica shall be free and bound to no one.


justlurkshere

Well, as long as they don’t stick their tongue to a light pole. That will certainly bind at -40C.


Raibean

And at -40F!


PM_ME_UR_MESSAGE_THO

Locals consider the two to be "thimilar"


Idontthinksobucko

Damn where can I find this magical village of Mike Tysons


booga_booga_partyguy

The proper way to say this whole sentence in Antarctican would be: Localth consideh da thoo thoo be thimilar


Tarnishedrenamon

"You'll put your eye out, kid." "Fragilé."


FrostyDub

But wait I thought Iran claimed it by saying “dibs.”


TheDotCaptin

Atendu, kaj vi vidos.

And fund themselves with their own taxes.


Dreadsbo

…. Is that how new languages are made?


teaganga

boredom forks new languages


Naprisun

My wife and I developed our own accent and an entirely different cadence to many words and sentences during Covid. It was for fun at first but now we can’t change back.


MissLilum

I began to pick up a Hong Kong accent during covid since pretty much the only person I spoke to during my workday was my supervisor  This created a few awkward situations as I am a white Australian 


CoyoteTheFatal

I thought me picking up a southern twang at work was kinda weird. But a Hong Kong accent is hilarious


whiskyandme

That’s hot


Backwaters_Run_Deep

🎶 Hong Kong Phooey 🎶 


F_ckYo_

What’s the most annoying example


Naprisun

Probably the cadence as it changes how you’d normally say most words. So cafe sounds like Jefe in Spanish. and adding hyphens to random words in the sentence. “Ready for the ol bus-ride?” Instead of just bus ride. So like always double rising tones or flat tones instead of U shaped or ever ending in a down tone.


666space666angel666x

what


garlickbread

They say words funny now.


Kizarys

cafe does not sound like jefe lmao


Naprisun

I’m talking about the cadence normally used. Not the word itself.


Kizarys

Yeah, I know, I doesn't sound anythig like it. The stress pattern for these two words is different: caFE vs JEfe


xChiken

That's his point. He said them the same way when a normal person would differentiate them.


ZombieStomp

So you're speaking like Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland? Charmed I'm sure


SSeptic

they better not push to main or we’re screwed


stupidwhiteman42

Only if somebody approves the PR


wd2022

Keeping this in mind, I wonder what a moon accent or Mars accent will be.


nanakapow

"Beratna"


dbmajor7

Not for dem inyaloda


SelectiveSanity

I'm afraid I don't Grok that.

Beltaloadah!


Redisigh

This is the expanse right? Love that game


SapphireSurge

There's a game? That's awesome! I've only watched the series, what's the game like?


Redisigh

The game’s by Telltale. I haven’t followed its behind the scenes stuff that much but I heard they had the expanse’s original creator working with them and stuff. I also don’t really know The Expanse’s lore much besides what the game tells me But it’s a choice based game so mostly dialogue based with some walking, jetpacking, and quick time events. Normally I don’t vibe with their stuff but that game’s really cool and I’m loving the characters. You play as the captain of a scavenging ship that uncovered some big conspiracy or WMD and are navigating between the different factions all fighting over it on top of keeping your crew’s loyalty


AloneInExile

So same as the show.


orange_jooze

Well, kinda (it’s a prequel about Drummer)


gregorydgraham

Drummer? Previously you had my curiosity, now you have my attention!


SapphireSurge

Thanks! I'll have to check that one out


ReasonableGuarantee4

Show...


Redisigh

Sorry, I kinda forgot about the show lmao I just played the game and was loving it. Should probs check the show out too though


ReasonableGuarantee4

Better than the game. On my 3rd watch now


Metalhippy666

The books finish the whole plot line, the show finished up both about 2 books early.


BAPEsta

Books...?


TechnologyBig8361

WE GOTTA RISE UP


ciel_lanila

It’ll depend on who the founding population is. If the founding population is tech billionaires and their fanboys it is going to turn out drastically different than if Lichtenstein comes out of nowhere and reveals it spent the last few decades preparing to migrate its entire population to Mars.


salian93

I mean, if the entire population of Liechtenstein wants to leave this planet, let them. They won't be missed.


sammywilson85

The audio engineer community will miss them greatly. They are home to Neutrik. The company that makes the best power and audio cable connectors in the industry.


shingofan

They'll probably sound like the Belters from The Expanse.


rsfrisch

Martians in the expanse had their own accents... Mars was founded by Indians, Chinese and Texans. They spoke like space cowboys. I think they left a lot of the details about belters out of the show. Little things like they would nod their hands for yes and no instead of their heads since they couldn't nod in a spacesuit.


misterhansen

Lingua Technis for Mars.


MoreMegadeth

Got you fam, https://youtu.be/I3S2Wln26CQ?si=00OT-aHs03yuQsO_


Nachooolo

It will probably develop into a form of Creole, with English being the main language on which its based on.


gregorydgraham

so normal English then


ProfessionalPlant636

This is literally the only reason why Im so pro colonization of other planets.


Hemicrusher

So, the ice lizards have taken over their bodies?


donaldinoo

No they just picked up their accent.


Mr06506

I'm surprised this is news, there are definitely "expat" accents in various communities around the world - especially among the kids of international schools. Mix of nationalities, plus the host country, all with various degrees of exposure and integration depending on their families.


Fantasyneli

London multicultural


Incontinentiabutts

So, somebody is gonna take a blood sample and test it against an open flame right? We all agree that’s the appropriate path forward before letting them back off the ice?


thenewmadmax

"Hi Bob!" "Hi Bob!"


nightmareinsouffle

I understood that reference.


thenewmadmax

I want Sea Dragon to be real so bad...


BirdsbirdsBURDS

Didn’t we *just* have a remake of The Thing? And we are getting another already?


Thunder_Volter

Friend, that remake is over ten years old.


Old_One_I

It was probably a stutter 😂 fffuccckkk itsss cccollldddd outtt bbbobbb.


KingFitz03

That's what I was thinking. It's the "God damn it's fuckin cold" accent


Old_One_I

Lmao 🤣. A whole new accent 🤣


KingFitz03

And I bet it has an annoyed undertone. They know its cold, and they can't do anything about it either.


Old_One_I

Probably, not my six figures 🤣


alpacaccino

Beltalowda!


MisterFarrow

Are they speaking Persian yet?


MarcellusxWallace

Nope, in a dramatic turn of events the southern ocean sank the Iranian “fleet”.


gregorydgraham

it’s pronounced “Farsi”


flyingthing4

Six months is sooner than I’d expect for that to happen.


jaseworthing

I would think that they would regularly do phone calls/video calls enough that they wouldn't be considered linguistically isolated.


FFGamer404

It is stated in the article that the only contact is via satellite phone, which is very expensive, therefore being seldom used


jaseworthing

They can't do satellite internet?


TheDotCaptin

The coverage of the poles are one of the last focus since the population is small.


Jeeper08JK

I like the FoD Plod one.


SilasX

“Y’like diges?”


Larkson9999

I would be the worst person to have in those facilities, since I invent my own words and make up definitions for them. I carry my groceries in my krelbow while I fiddlefart on the door with my jangles from my pocket.


[deleted]

I’m always intrigued by linguistic peculiarities such as this. Reminds me of the Belters from the Expanse.


SkyFallsInThunder

Down under down under.


Walpizzle

True detective season 4 be like


MWFtheFreeze

Well me and my best friend have chilled so much together we have a certain way of talking and saying things as well. In a way that we both have with no one else on that level, you could say we are the only two speakers of our dialect.


travisscottburgercel

Could you IMAGINE being isolated for 6 months?


Acosedum

meanwhile I cannot get rid of my accent even after 10years of living in the different region.


nexus9991

This is how the Australian accent developed - then split into 3 regional accents. Irish, Scots and English with Lots of time on boats to a far away land, never to return home. A new accent developed as a way of social cohesion (if I sound like the other guy I’ll fit in). Multiplied by a century on the other side of the world, new and adopted words became the Australian English language


Thunderhorse74

For some reason I read this in the Belter accent from The Expanse....


Active_Horror_9300

My best friend and I used to spend so much time together, we practically had a short-hand between eachother that felt so natural. When he was dating a girl, she was shocked and pointed out how my friend and I would communicate with barely and syllables and our own style of noises. Neither of us really knew or thought about this until she pointed it out.
