Mirza Khan (17th Century) considered #Sanskrit as dev-bāni (language of gods) and akash-bāni (language of the skies), #Prakrit as Nāg-bāni (language of snakes) and Pātāl-bāni (language of the underground), and #Braj or Bhākhā as the language of the world in which we live.
Mirza khan wrote this in his encyclopedic book Tuḥfat al-hind (gift from/to India) which he composed around 1674-75 for Muhammad Azam (son of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb). Mirza khan also regarded Brajbhasha as afṣaḥ-yi zabānhā (i.e. most eloquent of all languages).
The book is organised with an intro to Braj alphabet & 7 chapters. The 7 chapters-
1. Prosody (pingal)
2. Rhyme (tuk)
2. Tropology and metaphorics
4. The amorous mood in literature (singār-ras)
5. The combined arts of music, dance and dram (sangīt)
6. Erotology
7. Physiognomy

संस्कृत कुलवधू भाषा है और हिन्दी अभिसारिका भाषा। व्याकरण के ताले लटकते रह जाते हैं और भाषा की अभिसारिका खिड़की से निकलकर चौराहे पर चली आती है। संस्कृत मर्यादा की पुरुषी है, जबकि हिन्दी प्रयोगों की प्रेमिका है। इसलिए संस्कृत सीता है और हिन्दी राधा है।
संस्कृत सतीत्व की शुचिता और हिन्दी पातिव्रत्य की प्राणतोषिणी है। संस्कृत ऐश्वर्य है जबकि हिन्दी सौन्दर्य है। संस्कृत चैतन्य का "गीत गोविन्दम्" है तो हिन्दी विद्यापति की कीर्तिपताका!
संस्कृत में वाल्मीकि, व्यास तथा कालिदास का दुर्लंघ्य त्रिकूट पर्वत है, तो हिन्दी में तुलसीदास, कबीरदास और निराला का त्रिलोक-वेधी वाग्बाण। संस्कृत समुद्र की निस्तलता है तो हिन्दी अनन्त भूमाकाशीय ऊँचाई। 🙏

Raji is an endangered Tibeto-Burman language spoken in Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand by around 3000 people who are known as Banrawats or Banrajis. Rajis call themselves Bhulla. They are believed to be the descendants of the prehistoric Kiratas who settled in the area.
Because of Raji's extensive contact with neighboring languages like Kumaoni, Hindi etc., Raji is so mixed with features that it is hard to determine if it is a Tibeto-Burman lg heavily influenced by Indo-Aryan & Munda, or a Munda language heavily influenced by Tibeto-Burman & IA.
In recorded history Rajis were first mentioned by then commissioner of Kumaon hills, GW Traill in 1823. GA Grierson's Linguistic Survey of India (1909) mentions their language as ''janggali''. Raji is found to be related to Raute, another TB language spoken in parts of Nepal.

It is a fact that both Indo-Aryan & Dravidian languages have morphemes with similar semantic & grammatical properties. One of them is #Hindi / Urdu भी bhī which derives from #Sanskrit अपि api. Interestingly Sanskrit api is a calque of #Dravidian –um. Of course -api (< IE ∗epi)
The 4 senses of भी bhī in Hindi or similar morphemes in other Modern Indo-Aryan languages viz ''coordination; inclusion; generalization & indefiniteness; and concession'' have been shown to be similar in use with Dravidian -um particle (which exhibits a spectrum of 5 senses)
While #Sanskrit api & #Dravidian -um both have 5 senses: “also”; “and”; “even” or “even if” or “even so” or “even though”; “without exception'', as in sarve pi “all of them , without exception”; &, with an interrogative pronoun or derivative, “all who”, as in ko ‘pi 'whoever”.

BIG NEWS: 9th Circuit holds that scraping a public website likely does not violate the CFAA, even after website owner prohibits with a cease-and-desist letter; language strongly suggests CFAA only applies to bypassing authentication. Blog post up soon. cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opin… #N
Ninth Circuit: "We . . . look to whether the conduct at issue is analogous to 'breaking and entering,'" and when "access is open to the general public and permission is not required," then the B&E analogy "has no application, and the concept of 'without authorization' is inapt."
From later in the opinion.

Osmanlı Hukukunda Kardeş Katli ve Kardeşlerini Öldürten Padişahlar
Osmanlı hanedanında yaşanan kardeş katlini anlayabilmek adına öncelikli olarak İslam-Osmanlı hukuku ve siyaset geleneğinin iyi bilinmesi gerekmektedir.

Bonjour à tous !
Aujourd’hui, on va s’attaquer à un morceau et débunker le syndrome de KISS. Il se pourrait même que l’on parle plus largement de techniques manuelles chez le nourrisson.
#thread #àdérouler ⤵️
Pour plus de lisibilité, je mettrai les références bibliographiques sous forme de doi en fin de thread. Je vous préviens, il va être long, je pense de plus en plus publier sous forme de blog, qu’en pensez-vous ? [SONDAGE]
Bon déjà, si vous ouvrez un livre de sémiologie, de pédiatrie, ou même le dictionnaire des termes médicaux, vous ne trouverez pas le « syndrome de KISS », que j’abrévierai ici [SK]. Son existence en tant qu’entité clinique est largement mise en question par la médecine actuelle.

THE FAMILY: "KAVAKÇI HANEDANI"
1-Herkes O’nu Fazilet Partisi’nden Türkiye’nin ilk “Başörtülü milletvekili” seçilmesi sonrası TBMM’deki yemin töreninde yaşanan yemin krizi ile tanımıştı.
2-Dönemin Başbakanı Bülent Ecevit’in “Burası devlete meydan okunacak yer değildir…Lütfen bu hanıma haddini bildiriniz” ifadeleri ile tarihe kazınan o konuşmasını yaptığında Meclis genel kurulu karışmış ve Merve Kavakçı Meclis Genel Kurulu’ndan ayrılmak durumunda kalmıştı..
3-Sonra adeta “Siyasal İslam” geleneğini “Mağduriyet” sembolü haline getirilen Merve Kavakçı önce çıkarıldığı Türk vatandaşlığına geri alındı, hemen sonrasında ise Malezya’ya büyükelçi olarak atandı..

He nearly cried when Tetsu finally pulled away, hole clenching on the phantom feel of the tongue teasing him, he’d felt his balls tightening again, gut swirling, he’d been so close, so clo---
Denki felt the air punched out of him as he was filled to the brim without warning, hips jerked backwards, hole enveloping the thick, pulsating cock to the hilt, breath caught in his throat he choked out an aborted moan around Shinsou’s cock as a second orgasm ripped through him,
painting the furs beneath him in streaks of thick semi-clear white, he loved his mates… fuck he loved them so much… always knew just how to please him, how to touch… filled him so well.
