Footnotes for Gaia Polyglotta (the map)
Added 2024-01-15 12:45:01 +0000 UTCDid you catch all the nuances and details that I smuggled into the last feature map Matteo and I put out? Or maybe you're confused as to why Chinese and Mandarin have their own bubbles in the bubble chart graphic for depicting language influence in Altera?
In this next round of footnotes, I dig into the incredibly absorbing references peppered throughout the Gaia Polyglotta feature map. From the idea of a centre-periphery global language system to obscure theories of the existence of a Proto-Mixean liturgical language, I explain it all.
As always, you can read the footnotes here.
