   > Last fall, Ms. Farion denounced elements of the Ukrainian military, in particular members of the Azov and Third Assault Brigades — two units with ties to far-right and nationalist movements — for communicating in Russian. She said she couldn’t call Russian-speaking forces Ukrainians.
   
   curious that those non-ukrainans were fighting russia while she was sitting at home

     @rin @meeper its kinda normal for this to happen when cultures split. trade is what polyglots languages and cultures together. when they stop doing that, their shibboleths start to diverge.
     
     irish and scottish galige were in a similar state where they had the same grammar but they chose to use different words for the same things. one called it a pond, the other a lake, same as english dialects do these days.
     
     maybe eastern europeans are just way more violently insistent about their non-differences than everyone else :youmusip:

     @rin @icedquinn is it like indian where more unrelated languages develop similar grammars and phonology due to proximity than related languages

     @icedquinn debatable, but as a russian speaker it's mostly mutually intelligible
