Indigenous languages contain vast amounts of knowledge about ecosystem services provided by the natural world around them, but knowledge of medicinal plants is at risk of disappearing as human languages become extinct. Fortunately, there are increasing numbers of initiatives being put in place to preserve indigenous cultures and languages! 🌱

Tomorrow is World Tapas Day! The word ‘tapas’

Tomorrow is World Tapas Day! The word ‘tapas’ comes from the Spanish verb tapar, ‘to cover’. There are many stories about the origins of tapas; one suggests that tapas evolved from few innkeepers being able write and few travellers being able to read, so inns would offer their guests a sample of the dishes available, on a "tapa" (pot cover in Spanish). Other origin stories simply say that an item, (bread or a flat card, etc.) would often be placed on top of a drink to protect it from fruit flies and at some point it became a habit to top this "cover" with a snack! 🇪🇸

Do you ever find yourself unable to find the right

Do you ever find yourself unable to find the right word for something? The word mamihlapinatapai (sometimes spelt mamihlapinatapei) is considered extremely difficult to translate. From the Yaghan language of Tierra del Fuego, it means the wordless, meaningful look shared by two people who both want to initiate something but are reluctant to do so. It also can refer to an unspoken but private moment shared by two people when each person knows the other understands and agrees with what is being expressed. There’s that word you were looking for! 🧠

It’s Sveriges nationaldag (Sweden’s National Day)! Numerous dialects are spoken in Sweden and the country officially recognises 5 minority languages: Finnish, Meänkieli, Sami, Romani, and Yiddish. Because of the extensive mutual intelligibility between the languages, Swedish speakers often use Swedish in Norway or Denmark! 🇸🇪

It’s also UN Russian Language Day - see Thursday’s post for some fascinating facts about Russian languages! 🇷🇺

Do you speak any Swedish or Russian?
