What the fuck is going on? Everyone knows the chinese have had a heavy influence on everyone with root woords and such, but otherwise
for example, this is what I've heard about Korean:
>Finno-Uralic roots?
>Chinese roots?
>similar syntax to japanese
>german borrow words
>some weird bullshit meshing written chinese and spoken korean

For reasons nobody really understands, a lot of different languages developed among the hunter-gatherers and pastoralists of the Northeast Asian steppe. We saw an apparently independent creation of genetically unrelated language families (Mongolic, Tunguscic, Korean, and probably Japonic) in the inhospitable region stretching from modern-day Mongolia to the Pacific. You're not the first person to point out this weird diversity. Such stretchen of barren land usually lead to linguistic homogeneity. This mystery, of the Northeast Asian Sprachbund (language area) has puzzled linguists and historians for decades.
For a long time, it was believed that all those Northeast Asian languages (as well as Turkic, which developed a few hundred miles west of Mongolia) were part of one Altaic family. Now, most scholars believe that these languages all developed independently very long ago but somehow survived to the present day. Coexistence over thousands of years led to a similarity in not only vocabulary but also grammar and voicing. Most likely, different tribes migrated around Northeast Asia and eventually established the societies we know call Ainu, Mongol, Manchu, Siberian, and Korean. Current consensus is that Japanese was spoken in Southern Korea before its speakers migrated to what we know call Japan.
Chinese developed thousands of miles away around northern Burma/southeast China. Descendants of the Proto-Sino-Tibetan-Burman people migrated to the North China Plain where, by roughly 1500 BC, they had established a settled agricultural society that we now consider China. This culture, at the time probably called "Huaxia" by its inhabitants, was bordered to the north by the Northeast Asian Sprachbund.

For most of their history, the Huaxia people only inhabited a small territory. Other Chinese languages, which are still spoken today, developed throughout modern China. Usually called dialects, these languages are generally as different as Spanish and French. The most famous example is Yue, or Cantonese, due to its presence among immigrants to the New World. Many languages, like the Ba-Shu Chinese of Sichuan, were totally replaced by Mandarin over the centuries.
But Chinese languages weren't always so widespread! Non-Sinic speakers once populated much of southern China. Languages related to Thai, Vietnamese, Laotian, and Hmong were and are spoken throughout the region. Chinese migrations, that long preceded the expansion of the Chinese state to this area, led to the creation of new Chinese languages usually with some influence from the indigenous non-Sinic languages that would slowly die off.
Taiwan is also a clusterfuck. Thanks to multiple migrations from the mainland, they speak three different unintelligible Chinese languages (Min, Hakka, and now Mandarin) as well as a half dozen tiny indigenous Austronesian languages distantly related to Malagasy, Maori, Malay, and Hawaiian. In fact, Taiwan was the origin of the Austronesian people. Pretty much every Pacific Islander can trace their heritage to that little rock off the coast of China.

I was told that the queen of Spain offered a large sum of money to the first person on the ship who spots land, some other guy spotted it first and this guy claimed he did because his the captain and all, so is this true /his/? And if so then my opinion is his a cunt
>>2870819

China was too centralized
India had the Caste System
The Persians and ottomans stagnated under Islam
Russia was always a feudla undeveloped waste
Europe, alternatively, led the world in invention and development. But only after they ditched christianity with the enlightenment.
Europe was leading the world centuries before the enlightenment.
>>2870007
because of the 30 years war and end of Christendom
According to that criteria Soviet Russia should have won the Cold War.
If drugs and prostitution were legalized would the mafia still exist?
>>2869930
Yes. Of course it would.
Even if you made it legal, they would continue to operate illegally to avoid taxes. They would also continue to deal with guns, objectively dangerous drugs and any other of the many illegal things.
The only way for there not to be a mafia is literal anarchism, but at that point you aren't solving the problem, just pretending it doesn't exists. Which admittedly is kind of how most governments already deal with it.
Yes, but in significantly lower numbers.
Just like how eliminating niggers or leaded gasoline won't totally eliminate homicide, but it will reduce it by a substantial degree.
