Language

Mixtec appears to be the only language that does not differentiate between declaratives and interrogatives.

Why isn't do-support considered an interrogative particle?

Moonrunes appears to be the only language used in all animes.

Many Indian and Indo-Iranian languages have split-ergativity, meaning that in the past tense, transitive verbs conjugate as if the object was performing the action and the real subject takes the oblique case.

It was a pain in the ass when I tried learning Hindi/Urdu.

Is that like how in French you say 'tu me manques' as 'I miss you' even though 'you' is the subject in the sentence?

It looks somewhat like that but I've never studied French.

"I read the book" becomes "The book read me." in languages with split-ergativity.

Yeah that's how it is in french

>>2549430
so it doesn't differentiate or does it favour one over the other?

Pure guess: do-support only occurs in the absence of auxillaries or modals; whereas a true question particle would appear in all cases.

Not really, the literal translation of that would be sth like"You are missing to me". So the verb actually has a different meaning, i.e. the english active "to be missing"= "to be absent", not "to miss sth".

Russians don't have a single world for blue. They have goluboy - light blue and siniy - dark blue.
This actually makes them better at differentiating between different shades of blue.

Isn't the no word or blue in,Japanese, the word for green includes blue hues? I might be making this up but one of you weeaboos will surely jump in to clear up the facts.

There is in modern times. Traditionally aoi was used for both. Now you have aoi and midori.
