Wonderful article, exposing some of the oddities of this non-Indo-European language in the middle of Europe, without becoming too technical.
If you're interested in an entertaining overview of all of the world's languages, I can recommend the course Language Families of the World by The Great Courses - 34 byte-sized (half hour) lectures.

- himlion 7y agoCertainly looks interesting, but in an era where I've been conditioned to expect free content $335 is a bit steep to indulge in a casual interest.

- FabHK 7y agoYeah, plus they have period revolving discounts, where you get it for 80% or more off. I must say I started listening to The Great Courses way before Udacity, Coursera, EdX, and so on, and back then it was really a good and competitive source (and, at discounted prices, reasonably priced) to get a variety of professionally produced audio courses. Nowadays of course there are more alternatives.
