      Many European languages are very close to each other. You can see many similarities between English and German. I also found similarities between kurdish and Polish, Rusian, French and even english. If I knew more European languages I would find more common things. A languist can figure out this very easily. I am not proud for What I am telling you but I just write the realities. here I only concern about realities and science. But you only concern about how to degrade kurdish. You are an idiot unti science.

      Somehow I do not believe that knowing Hmong culture or language is a prerequisite to being a scholar or learned person. Of course, I would expect a Hmong languist to speak Hmong at the level of expertise required at his level of training. However, I would not apply the same to a Hmong mathematician, physicist, doctor, or any professional whose area of expertise is unrelated to Hmong culture or language.
