Than English...that article is complete bullshit, the Inuits have 30 different words for snow = more information density, but is it usable for every culture?
- bobbyz 6y agoCan you elaborate on how having 30 words for snow affects a language's information density?
- nix23 6y agoEnglish needs maybe 4-5 five words to describe a particular snow condition (hard crust but underneath soft and wet), Inuits have one single word for that exact snow-condition therefore a higher information density (for that situation)
- _4jlx 6y agoThis is not the information density we are referring to.
