| Aryanhood of different ethnicities | |

| @90sRetroFan | |
| I see that you seem to prefer Germany and England over Poland, | |
| Russia, France, Hungary, Austria, Serbia etc | |
| As well as preferring Occitania and Southern Italy over Northern | |
| France and Padania� | |
| and Southern China over Northern China, Japan over Korea, | |
| Iranians over Kurds... | |
| I am kind of interested on what are your most and least | |
| favourite cultures. | |
| I am not looking to debate or argue just wanting to learn your | |
| point of view as I have an amateur interest in anthropology and | |
| linguistics. | |

| "I see that you seem to prefer Germany and England over Poland, | |
| Russia, France, Hungary, Austria, Serbia etc" | |
| Actually I like the non-Anglo-Saxon parts of Britain more than | |
| England proper: | |
| https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/56/Anglo-Saxon_Homelands… | |
| And West Germany more than East Germany: | |
| https://trueleft.createaforum.com/mythical-world/turanian-diffusion/msg15957/#m… | |
| "As well as preferring Occitania and Southern Italy over | |
| Northern France and Padania�" | |
| And Catalonia over the rest of Iberia: | |
| https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0c/Bullfighting_in_Spain_by_pr… | |
| (Occitania and Catalonia should have united: | |
| https://repositori.udl.cat/items/9f778957-8ac3-440a-8a84-204480dd1c27<br | |
| />) | |
| "and Southern China over Northern China, Japan over Korea, | |
| Iranians over Kurds..." | |
| Within Japan, I prefer Kansai over Kanto: | |
| https://www.jistec.or.jp/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/%E9%96%A2%E8%A5%BF%E9%96%A2… | |
| (By no coincidence, ultra-Eurocentrist Meiji: | |
| https://trueleft.createaforum.com/colonial-era/shimabara-rebellion-the-christia… | |
| switched the capital from Kyoto to Tokyo.) | |
| "what are your most and least favourite cultures." | |
| In terms of pop culture I disproportionately favour 70s-90s (and | |
| a few early 00s) pan-Yue (Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, | |
| Malaysia, etc.) works (which should be totally obvious by now!), | |
| but I still retain appreciation for US West Coast and to a | |
| lesser extent UK works from the same period also. In all the | |
| above, artistic quality started crashing during the 00s and I do | |
| not expect recovery any time soon. I am currently waiting to see | |
| if any quality works come out of mainland China (which should | |
| already have started happening long ago based on economic | |
| models), but prospects look dismal so far. | |

| It is important to know this because it is better to travel or | |
| live somewhere where it is likely to experience racism, I guess | |
| usually in areas where people vote for left-wing parties or are | |
| minorities who feel oppressed by a majority ex: Scotland who has | |
| chosen a British Pakistani to be their leader. | |
| I thought that Southern Spaniards were also more down to earth | |
| as their area is poorer and their accent has lower prestige. | |
| I have noticed that upper middle class elites which are a mix of | |
| light-skinned natives, Han Chinese and sometimes whites living | |
| in Southeast Asian cities look down on darker native folks from | |
| rural areas. | |
| Also how a people see themselves can shift when privilege is | |
| acquired� For example Poles helped the Haitians in their | |
| rebellion against the French so they were given Honorary Black | |
| status but now it seems that Poles in Western Europe try to be | |
| racist to get acceptance like in that Finsbury Park mosque | |
| attack, Venetis used to be discriminated for being farmers and | |
| they used to mingle with Southerners in Northwest Italy until | |
| Veneto became a rich industrial region that receives | |
| immigration, now there are even Southerners who vote Salvini | |
| because immigrants from Africa/Middle East are attracting the | |
| hate instead. Likewise, there are traitorous Eurocentrist | |
| Iranians, Turks and Levantines who want to be accepted as white | |
| so badly so they hate on Peninsular Arabs. | |
| I have also read that there has been racist attacks in Ireland | |
| on immigrants. Is it because of the distinct Gentile/Turanian | |
| and Aryan strains in these ethnicities? Wanting to belong to the | |
| �chosen people�? | |
| I also find it interesting for example that you prefer Cantonese | |
| to Mandarin, and Dravidian languages to North Indian ones. It | |
| seems that one has to speak English or French perfectly to not | |
| receive criticism but any effort to speak Arabic perfectly for | |
| example is taken with amazement as Arabs themselves only speak a | |
| regional version of it. I would like to know which languages you | |
| see positively and which negatively. | |
| Thank you | |

| "I have also read that there has been racist attacks in Ireland | |
| on immigrants." | |
| Yes, this is very disappointing. In the past, I tried to | |
| encourage Irish to emphasize that Ireland never participated in | |
| Western colonialism and therefore reject being labelled "white". | |
| But increasingly I have seen younger Irish defending the former | |
| Western colonial powers instead. Their argument is not that the | |
| Western colonial powers (rather than Ireland) have the greater | |
| obligation to take in most of the immigrants from former Western | |
| colonies (which I would agree with), but that neither Ireland | |
| nor the former Western colonial powers should accept "non-white" | |
| immigrants (but should accept "white" immigrants from South | |
| Africa etc.). So I guess the newer (post-Counterculture-era) | |
| generations of Irish see themselves as "white" after all..... | |
| "I would like to know which languages you see positively and | |
| which negatively." | |
| On the most elementary level, I like languages with low sexual | |
| dimorphism, such as with no gendered pronouns: | |
| https://trueleft.createaforum.com/true-left-vs-false-left/true-left-breakthroug… | |
| (Cantonese is superior to Mandarin in that even while under | |
| Western colonialism the former refused to gender its pronouns, | |
| unlike the latter which enthusiastically gendered its pronouns, | |
| as noted in the linked post.) | |
| I dislike languages with high sexual dimorphism: | |
| https://trueleft.createaforum.com/true-left-vs-false-left/true-left-breakthroug… | |
| https://trueleft.createaforum.com/true-left-vs-false-left/true-left-breakthroug… | |
| I especially despise languages in which even surnames are | |
| gendered: | |

| Let�s start with English, which seems to be the international | |
| language for the time being. | |
| How can it Aryanize further? | |
| Should it be pronounced as it is spelled? | |
| Rhotic and whispered WH, no t flapping, no bath/trap split� It | |
| would sound vaguely Irish/Scottish/American, which is cool. | |
| Can the spelling of some words change? | |
| Spellings such as �frend, ake, det� etc. have historical basis. | |
| Others such as �thru� and �tho� are becoming very common. | |
| What about removing French vocabulary to make it more | |
| consistent? | |
| Book and library are a strange pair� Bookhouse would make more | |
| logical sense. Although this would remove intelligibility with | |
| Romance languages, it would connect English with the Germanic | |
| world. If French were to be pronounced as it is spelled it would | |
| sound closer to Occitan. Italian could adopt the s always | |
| pronounced as an s rather than z between vowels which is both a | |
| Southern and Latin feature. | |

| "Should it be pronounced as it is spelled?" | |
| "Can the spelling of some words change?" | |
| This is the hard part: do we change pronounciation to fit | |
| spelling or change spelling to fit pronounciation? Decisions | |
| would probably have to be made separately for each word. | |
| "Spellings such as �frend, ake, det� etc. have historical | |
| basis." | |
| In the case of "det" as an alternative for "debt", I would | |
| prefer changing pronounciation to "deB-t" in order to maintain a | |
| clear etymological connection with related words such as | |
| "debit". | |
| "What about removing French vocabulary to make it more | |
| consistent?" | |
| "Although this would remove intelligibility with Romance | |
| languages, it would connect English with the Germanic world." | |
| But is this what we want? In our narrative, Neolithic New Trojan | |
| settlement (first infusion of Aryan blood) and later Roman rule | |
| (introduction of Christianity) over Britain were positive events | |
| whereas Bronze Age Beaker settlement (first infusion of Turanian | |
| blood) and later Anglo-Saxon rule (re-paganization) were | |
| negative events. Should not our preferred version of English be | |
| the version that connects to the former rather than the latter? | |
| Also, from a purely linguistic perspective I personally tend to | |
| prefer Romance vocabulary. For example, I have always been | |
| irritated by the Germanic English: | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreword | |
| which in practice consists of many words (rather than a single | |
| word as the term would suggest if taken literally). The Romance | |
| English: | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preface | |
| avoids this problem. So I always use the term "preface" for my | |
| own such pieces. | |
| (If we were to insist on using the Germanic term, we would have | |
| to change it to "forewords" to make it literally accurate. But | |
| now it sounds like "4 words" which is even worse!) | |
| "Book and library are a strange pair� Bookhouse would make more | |
| logical sense." | |
| OK, then what would be your preferred term to replace | |
| "librarian"? | |

| Perhaps it makes no sense to remove Romance vocabulary from | |
| English although I have heard that the Norman invasion was seen | |
| as negative in some purist circles. | |
| Perhaps a regularized and consistent English-based conlang where | |
| every word is pronounced as it is spelled would prove itself to | |
| be a successful international language unlike Esperanto. | |
| Interlingua is the closest Romance conlang at the moment and it | |
| could be employed among Romance speakers the same way Modern | |
| Standard Arabic unites different national dialects. | |
| Frankly, I also find it strange that we have to speak English to | |
| our neighbours... It would make sense for Malay to be the lingua | |
| franca of "Southeast Asia" and for the Sinosphere to communicate | |

| "I have heard that the Norman invasion was seen as negative in | |
| some purist circles." | |
| By the time the Normans invaded, England had been | |
| re-Christianized thanks to the Celtic Church: | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiberno-Scottish_mission | |
| Thus if the Celtic Church is viewed as preferable to the | |
| Catholic Church (which is our view, since we hate Charlemagne | |
| etc.), then we can view the Norman invasion as negative in that | |
| absent the Norman invasion Britain would probably not have | |
| subsequently participated in the Crusades, and in a best-case | |
| scenario would even have become an additional Cathar region | |
| (optimistically assuming that the Celtic Church would have | |
| accepted Catharism). | |
| But I doubt most anti-Normanists share the above reasoning. Most | |
| of the anti-Normanists that I have encountered seem to be | |
| Duginist Hardrada fans who think the Anglo-Saxons should have | |
| allied with the Vikings to defeat the Normans. ::) | |
| "It would make sense for Malay to be the lingua franca of | |
| "Southeast Asia"" | |
| If you wish to promote this, you should start by calling the | |
| region: | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malay_world | |
| instead of "Southeast Asia". | |
| "and for the Sinosphere to communicate with Chinese characters." | |
| I agree. See also: | |
| https://trueleft.createaforum.com/issues/linguistic-decolonization/msg22273/#ms… | |
| https://trueleft.createaforum.com/questions-debates/arctic-alliance/msg20274/#m… | |
| (Another better alternative to "Southeast Asia" is: | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanyang_(region) | |
| ) | |
| We must get rid of colonial-era influences such as: | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamese_alphabet | |
| [quote]In 1910, the French colonial administration enforced | |
| chữ Quốc ngữ.[22] The Latin alphabet then | |
| became a means to publish Vietnamese popular literature, which | |
| was disparaged as vulgar by the Chinese-educated imperial | |
| elites.[23] Historian Pamela A. Pears asserted that by | |
| instituting the Latin alphabet in Vietnam, the French cut the | |
| Vietnamese from their traditional H�n N�m literature.[24] | |
| ... | |
| From the first days it was recognized that the Chinese language | |
| was a barrier between us and the natives; the education provided | |
| by means of the hieroglyphic characters was completely beyond | |
| us; this writing makes possible only with difficulty | |
| transmitting to the population the diverse ideas which are | |
| necessary for them at the level of their new political and | |
| commercial situation. Consequently we are obliged to follow the | |
| traditions of our own system of education; it is the only one | |
| which can bring close to us the Annamites of the colony by | |
| inculcating in them the principles of European civilization and | |
| isolating them from the hostile influence of our neighbors.[26] | |
| � In a letter dated January 15, 1866, Paulin Vial, | |
| Directeur du Cabinet du Gouverneur de la Cochinchine[/quote] | |
| In contrast, those who themselves (without Western colonial | |
| influence) voluntarily rejected Chinese script: | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangul#History | |
| prove yet again that they are not part of the Sinosphere: | |
