This gon' be good. The Han would have superior cavalry (stirrups) and superior missile troops (badass chinese crossbow). Romans would have superior infantry and probably logistics because of muh roads. I don't know who would win, but I'm certain a couple of anons who are VERY strongly convinced about either side will dispute it.

Can we talk about language death? i.e. when a language loses its remaining speakers and becomes functionally (if not outright) extinct.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuone_Udaina

>Dalmatian language
>an independent tongue that had descended from Latin along the Dalmatian coast of the Adriatic
>as the cities of the coast became more insular to protect themselves from the threats of the Slavs, Gepids etc. inland continue speaking Latin within the walls gradually shifting to a new language as in Western European romance languages
>gradually cucked out of existence by Slavs and Venetians like most other remnants of Rome
>last speaker dies an ignominious death in an explosion while building a road
>hadn't even spoken the language for 20 years

E el daic. Jon ciairt jomno ci avaja doi feil, e el plé pedlo de louro daic a soa tuota

Remnants of Gothic, the language spoken by the men who sacked Rome in 410 and seized half of the west in the 5th century, may have continued to be spoken in the Crimean peninsula by surviving Goths until the 18th century. I wonder what the last peasant speaking it would have thought, surrounded as he was by Turks, Greeks and Slavs. The same with Cumbric, the language of the men of the Old North in Britain that was conquered by the Anglo-Saxons and survived up to the 12th century in the crags and fens of the northern counties.

Anyone else interested in this? What is your favourite dead language? Can a language really die, or does it just change naturally?

Favorite dead language? Sanskrit or ancient Greek.

There's no inherent value in any language, but having a variety is beneficial.

Basically, all law literature is a theoretical mass of excuses for coercion by politicians. That's why it's full of inconsistencies that makes it so difficult to use to judge and act on, unlike physics or biology sciences.

Prove me wrong.

Dumping text about jurisprudence:

The juridical person in private law is conceived as a fact ruled by the legal order. A personality, then, is when the law recognizes the
pursuit of a common purpose by a collection of individuals, as if the pursuit was done by a single person. This emerges when personality is linked with a situation of fact recognized by the juridical norm, as a factor of individualization of the volitive being, and it does not imply that a sole statement defines the personality, because the recognition of the norm is a requirement as well as the will of the being whose norm should be individualized.

So how similar was "boot camp" or training in ancient Rome to the modern idea of it? I always was curious about this. How long did they train them? Would they scream and mind fuck them? Has there been any real change in the basics of training soldiers in the western world?

Pretty sure that for most human history if you were a soldier your superiors could beat the fuck out of you, even rape or kill you for any reason they wanted.

Your reward for putting up with this is that if you sacked a city you got to pillage and rape civilians :D

I mean they were the greatest civilization for most of the recorded history so why no colonies, exploration or proactiveness on their part?

Europeans from Greeks to Romans to Germanics to Vikings (that even discovered America in the 10th century AD) to Portugese to Spaniards to Russians to French, Dutch and English, Europeans, it seems were always interested in knowing what is behind the next hill and the next hill while the Chinese were just content to stay this side of the hill and farm.

It makes even less sense if you consider that most colonies happened because of overpopulation in the home country at least up until Spaniards started exploring to find different passage to, ironically, China. Chinese had ridiculous population and have always had ridiculous population they could have established massive colonies on Kamchatka, Alaska, Oregon, California, Indonesia, Philippines etc.

So what gives? Why were they so passive?

if communism didn't happen, could Russia have developed like America? Where there's these huge diverse states with amazing cities dotted around the whole country
I mean, it's very different from america, but it's also this huge vast land that's very diverse.
Right now the only 2 places that matter are Moscow and Saint Pete. There's literally no reason to go east

well I think they are all quite diverse. I really like america, from chicago, to boston, new york, LA, texas. I love them all and I get a different feel. drivng through america was awesome, and in Russia it's a bit depressing that outside of moscow it's just a huge nothing. We have good scenary and resources but the tyrants are swallowing all the money.

if we switched to an American style, would we develop similarly? would we have the resources to?

I might be wrong but I belive that it did, much like the eagle and colours did. However in musket warfare instrumental sounds were more often used to signal commands
>>
>>1561259
Not sure, but the drums and trumpets were used to give orders, like charge, or (specific) march, etc.
>>
>>1561259
Yes, although morale had nothing to do with it. They existed to quickly relay orders via musical cues.
