The Tuscarora people did not leave North Carolina entirely. Many families stayed, as my own family told me directly.

We need to be learning our local indigenous languages and using them.. it’s just not the same that they’ve disappeared and then you study them and there’s so much history and culture of the area in these languages. That’s why I do my research to produce courses in them from the archives and sources

Two reasons and a tip, not to rush learning a language in my exp as a linguist and lifetime student. Rushing to “become fluent” takes away from the fun and will create more stress than it’s worth .. why are learning languages seen as a stressful activity?

This is a real tool I fully intend to implement and integrate into my site for rare or languages that use long strings to form sentences. Break them down and see the word boundaries and how compound sentences and words are formed. I’ll be putting this on my langshack.club site

Ku vs. ma ta as a negative form in Lenape
Lenape negation:
• Mata: General 'not' or 'no.'
• Ku ta: Stronger, emphatic 'NO!' Used for prohibitions, contrast, or focus.
🗣️ Mata n'pommauchsiwi → 'I do not live.' 🔥 Ku ta ni! → 'Not me!'
Now you now the difference!

📖 Finished up my "Alphabet Script Trainer" prototype today! Now I can start teaching myself Cherokee script if I so please. 🌾 Later, I plan to take a walk later (òwiye in Lenape) and continue exploring how languages (lixsewakànà) connect to thought and life itself.

I need to find a way to make rare languages appealing to the masses. Plenty of us love languages and grammar but common languages get boring after a while, with a whole world of rare languages, there’s plenty of fun to be had!!!
