In 1443, king Sejong‘s announcement said that Hangul imitates “古篆” script; however there is no reference to that script anywhere else so no one knows what it is. But… doesn’t it look suspiciously like “蒙古” (Mongol), giving more evidence that he was referring to ‘Phags-pa script?

Is Dravidian negation illa (இல்லை etc.) cognate to Semitic *lā (لَا etc.?) there was a lot of trade in that region so it seems likely to me.

I often find myself wanting to use the Irish impersonal aspect in Chinese, a.k.a. 说tar/听tear for "it is spoken"/"it is heard", so ”在这里说tar很多,而听tear很少“ “here, much is said, but little is heard". (While we're at it we could give Irish a nice Rechtschreibreform imported from Cyrl: "听tear" --> "听tьar")
