Two pieces of very good news for Value Mindset today.

Right after my presentation, “The Localization Mindset for Language Learners,” at @polyglotconference , I received not one, but two lovely updates.

The Value Mindset eBook is currently #1 Best Seller in @amazon ‘s Document Management category!

And the paperback proof copy is now with my publisher, @kathrins_medical_linguistics / KML Publishing. Fingers crossed, the paperback should be available to order next week!

I keep saying this, but this book was never a one-person project. I could not have done it without so many people along the way, who read, questioned, encouraged, challenged and supported me.

It was written with humans, for humans, and for better ways of working together. That is probably the part that means the most to me.

And now I am just waiting to receive my own copies. 😅❤️Oh my... I really cannot stay put!

Selamat Hari Merdeka 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🎉🎉🎉

🎉 你可能每天都在說 “Malaysia”，
但你有沒有想過，Malaysia 一詞，
用自己的族/母語（潮州話、客家話等）
應該怎麼說？ 
同樣是「馬來西亞」， 在不同的Sinitic languages裡， 發音可能完全不一樣。

🇲🇾 一個國家； 🗣️ 不同的語言； ❤️ 一份共同的記憶。
👇 你是什麼民族？ 你們的語言會怎麼說「馬來西亞」？

❤️❤️Buddhist festival “Wesak day” in Teochew, Penang Hokkien, Henghua language, Liokhong Hoklo, Northern min - Kienou & other Sinitic languages.

Question of the day :
1. Which Sinitic languages do you think have the most unique way of saying “Wesak day” ?

2. Have you guys heard of Jin language ( 晉語 ) — a variety of Sinitic language that spoken in Shanxi province of China before ? If yes, how similiar do you think Jin language is to other Mandarin varieties ?

3. Someone told me that Buddha’s Birthday (佛誕節) and Wesak Day are two different festivals. However, most people in my social circle consider them to be the same. Could anyone familiar with the Buddhist culture explain the difference to me?

Feel free to share your comment below and don’t forget to share this post with your polyglot friends who love Asian languages ~~

佛教傳統節日「衛塞節」一詞，在潮州話、檳城福建話、興化語、陸豐福佬話、閩北語 - 建甌話以及其他諸夏系語言裡的說法。

在此問大家幾個問題：
1）你們覺得哪一門漢語族/諸夏系語言（潮州話、客家話、海南話、建甌話等）的「衛塞節」說法是最獨特的？

2）你們是否聽說過「晉語」這門通行於中國山西省的語言？若聽說過的話，你們覺得這門語言和其他官話支語言（華語、果敢話、雲南話、四川話等）之間有多接近呢？

3）有的朋友告訴我「佛誕節/浴佛節」和「衛塞節」實際上是不同節日，不曉得是否有較為熟悉佛教文化者可幫忙解釋下兩者之間的區別？

歡迎在留言區寫下自己的看法，同時也別忘了把這篇貼文分享給您熱愛亞洲語言的朋友喔～

“Laputa : castle in the sky” Movie quotes in different Sinitic languages - Teochew, Penang Hokkien, Taipu Hakka, Henghua language, Haihong language, Shekki language, northern min varieties and so on ~~

I change the name of 台州話 from Taizhounese to T’etsiu language just to avoid confusion, since 泰州話( a Jianghuai mandarin variety ) is also called “Taizhounese” in English.
