Queer Polyglot/Language Learning Community

Do you speak or have resources in any of these languages? I'm building an online dictionary of queer-related words (anything regarding sexuality, romantic orientation, gender expression, intersex traits, etc).

The languages I still haven't manage to get much from are (in no particular order):

Hmong

Yagan

Aonikenk

Manchu

Jeju

Okinawan

Ainu

Kakán

Ossetian

Even if you don't speak any of these, but you speak a language few people know, I'd love for you to reach out.

Interesting how the name of Esquel, a city in Chubut, Argentina, presumably comes from an Aonikenk word for “thorny plant” (specifically eskel, the name for the plant Adesmia Campestris, as one (dubiously reliable) source claims). The Welsh word for “thistle” would be ysgall(en). Maybe a coincidence? Maybe one had influence over the other? I mean, the place was founded by welsh immigrants after all. I don’t know. I’ll try to investigate a bit further

So, I'm half aonikenk and half white, right? My skin is paler than snow, I live in the southernmost city of the world (I'm not joking, I actually do. It's called Ushuaia, beautiful place btw) so the amount of sun I receive is next to nothing, which means I can't get a tan or something similar here. What's funny is that everyone thinks I'm chinese because I have small eyes?? I don't have any asian heritage??? Like, sometimes I'm white passing and sometimes I'm not (but no one thinks I'm aonikenk)

(Half aonikenk, half white) Like, whenever I tell people I'm not asian they're so surprised it's funny. I just think it's really weird that I have white skin but aonikenk features, and no one ever thinks that I might belong to either of those groups. I'm not asking for advice (you already have a lot of questions and it may overwhelm you), I'm just telling my experience as someone who sometimes passes as white and sometimes doesn't. That's all, have a great day and stay safe ❤

Thank you for sharing! for what its worth, ethnic features aren’t necessarily exclusive to one group. many different ethnic groups have monolids, ranging from Peloponnesians to Arabs, Asians, and many different Native groups. it's only because people, especially white people, mostly associate that feature with east Asians that people might mistake u for Asian. but sometimes passing and sometimes not can be very common for wppoc, dw!

Dicen que hubo un tiempo en que el viento tenía voz. Cantaba entre las montañas, rozaba la piel de los ríos y movía las alas de las aves como un dios invisible. Pero en los años que deparaban el provenir, el cielo ya no hablaba.
