Awesome! I thought someone must have noticed this, but couldn't find an example. Thanks!

I wonder how many of those words are originally from AAVE

From this list, I think these are (I might be wrong tho):
- bussin'
- drip
- flex
- glow up
- no cap
- rizz
- sus (at least partially)
- vibe

In my experience, words like these are often the most frustrating: they look very simple, so you think you must know them, but you don't.

Take, for example, the words “pip”, “gobby”, “nobble”, and “trug”. They all look like you should've learned them in the first years of studying

This is both mad and brilliant!

Great post!
May I ask what tool you use to create infographics like this? I love their aesthetics :)

And don't even get me started on the Creole languages. Even when someone tries to cover the topic of the languages of Africa, they usually omit them entirely

The under-representation of African languages on the Internet is just tragic. A couple of days ago, I wanted to learn the meaning of a random Xhosa word, and there were less than a dozen results on Google containing it

Yeah, I know. It's just that in past years, it was actually the most learned language on Duolingo there, and now it's only second.
Apparently, Spanish has surpassed it

Since when is Swedish second in Sweden? :(
It has always been the first!

I think this is a very reasonable assumption about an assumption :)
In my humble experience, monolingual people often assume that translation is done word by word.
And apparently, “igray-igray” means “to haggle at the market”. There's no such meaning in Russian, so it might be a Chinese influence
