01097 Poplar flowers who do not understand dialect
When we came out of the house, the poor people were still lying on the ground fearfully and did not dare to move. The nun uniforms we were wearing only exacerbated their fear. It took me a lot of words to explain that we were not here to clean them up.
, there were no church knights hiding nearby. They stood up tremblingly, but they were still stunned in place.
"Amy, why do these people speak differently from the people before? Have we already arrived in a foreign country?"
Baiyanghua beside her asked in her mind.
"First of all, I want to correct your mistake. There is no concept of country in this place, so naturally there is no foreign country."
"oh……"
"Then, there is a saying in my hometown that 'the pronunciation is different ten miles away, and the customs are different within a hundred miles'. We have all moved from the north to the south. Can the local people still speak the same words?"
"Ah? But in my world, there are so many people in the same country, and they all say the same thing, right?"
"That's because your world is relatively developed, with frequent exchanges between regions, and language assimilation has been completed. But it is different here. This is a world where travel is basically based on walking. The more backward and isolated a place is, the more dialects or independent languages will be spoken.
The more people there are, because they don’t know how to communicate with each other at all, and naturally they don’t need to speak the same words, so there is no chance for a common language to emerge.”
"Hey? Then why is the earth so developed and there are so many languages? Are there dialects and so on?"
"Because the development of the earth has been accelerated by the goddess, and there is no long-term subtle influence. You see there are so many people in Dream City, many of whom may have never been far away from their hometown a few years ago. Another one is, over there on the earth
The translation system has been widely promoted. It is no longer necessary for ordinary people to learn foreign languages. The goddess also deliberately preserves the diversity of earth languages, so there is no common language. Except for the schools in the Dream City, other human beings
Schools are still teaching in the local language.”
"It turns out that the normal development speed of the earth is slower than that of ours~ I was wondering why I can hear random words when walking on the street."
"Of course, we have streamlined the existing languages on the earth and mainly promoted the mainstream languages of the previous countries. Those languages that have too few speakers or are bloated and cumbersome, let them stay in the museum."
"Huh? But wouldn't that cause a cultural gap?"
"People do think so, but in fact, language is always changing, and what does not change is a dead language that no one uses anymore. Just like my mother tongue, which has been around for thousands of years, it is the oldest language on earth.
It is one of the ancient languages, but most people cannot understand the words written by people three thousand years ago, let alone read them. However, this does not hinder our cultural inheritance. The inheritance of culture is like the swimming pool in the mathematics textbook that is filled with water at the same time.
, the connotation is always being updated, and the old and new parts have long been integrated together without distinction. New things continue to pour in, and things that are too old or inappropriate for the times will be let go. If it remains unchanged, it is not called inheriting culture.
It’s called adhering to dogma. Only the most backward places will cling to the things created by our ancestors and not know how to make progress.”
"This is really... a bit hard to understand... There are no language differences at all over there. The same words are spoken everywhere in a country. Only when you go abroad will you encounter foreign languages, and there are only a dozen foreign languages. I
It’s hard to imagine that people who speak different languages can belong to the same country, let alone understand that these people can actually have a common culture, which has completely overturned my sociological knowledge.”
"So you have to let go of your thinking. There will be more opportunities to encounter this kind of thing in the future. In fact, when I went to your world and found that there were no dialects there, I was also surprised and ruined my outlook.
The living environment of two villages can be different, let alone two worlds~ Maybe things like physical constants will be the same or similar due to information interference between worlds, but things like culture can never be the same, because creation
The main body of culture, intelligent creatures, are all true random number generators of chaos."
"Amy, I can't understand you anymore. Is my education level too low?"
"No, I don't quite understand what I'm saying."
"Then what are you talking about?"
"This is how Sister Aini explained similar issues to me at that time. She said it was very concise."
"Is this thing you're talking about really scientific?"
"It's metaphysics."
"..."
"Let's think about it later. Let's first think about how to deal with these villagers."
"What does processing mean?"
"Don't get excited. I just used the most convenient word. Don't be too sensitive. Daily language is not that particular!"
"Amy, I think I should go to study linguistics, and it's from your Earth."
"Are you so entangled in this issue..."
"Yes, you know so much, I don't want to lose to you on this kind of thing!"
"No...I haven't studied such a complicated subject. I'm just talking about it based on my personal understanding!"
"That's better than not understanding it at all! I thought I could understand the world with college sociology knowledge, but I found out that I was so ignorant!"
"Your idea is so normal. I am also ignorant, so I am always thinking and learning. People with knowledge think they are ignorant because they can see how vast the ocean of knowledge is. Even the goddess thinks so.
.Only the truly illiterate will think that they are omniscient and omnipotent, because they feel that the bowl of water in front of them already contains the entire world."
"Amy, I will definitely learn from you in the future and work hard to learn and think about these completely useless but powerful things in life!"
"No...are you hurting me?"
"No, I'm serious! I suddenly feel that I am obviously a genius, but I have been living like a retarded person. It is such a waste of talent!"
"No, no, no, considering your previous state of existence, being able to survive completely until now proves that you are very smart."
"There is no way to be complete. I have obviously lost my virginity a long time ago..."
"You are complete! I said yes! Don't say such words again in the future, Yanghua!"
I interrupted her rudely.
"Huh? You really... don't dislike me at all?"
Yanghua was stunned for a moment, her face that had been tense showed surprise.
"Nonsense, how could I dislike my sister! It's you who should let go of your grudge now!"
"Amy~I...I..."
"Stop it, stay cool now, and be moved when you go home!"
"oh……"
"You became so fast, did you get it from the conversion?"
"No, isn't it the basic skill of a goddess to switch emotions instantly? I'm practicing it right now~"
"Why do we practice these strange things..."
"I like it! Let's not talk about this Amy, let's vaccinate these people with antibodies first?"
"Okay, I'll leave the splashing task to you."
"Huh? Why me again?"
"Because you used to live a relatively dirty life, and you are not mysophobic and don't mind being dirty."
"Ai~~~mi!!! I'll kill you!!! You promised not to dislike me!!!"
