Edit: I'll try to go over this later to try to fix inaccuracies

Also whenever I see a non native English speaker apologize for their English I always will always always be in awe how far they've gone in learning English

Stuff like "broken" English is so dumb, I think it's very cool seeing how words are ordered Around the world is very cool and not something to call broken or wrong

English is an SVO language meaning it's Subject-Verb-Object!!, It's not particularly rare, and is the second most common word order!

A sentence In English would be like "He Parks the Car"

The most Common word order is Subject Object Verb!!

So in an SOV language it would sound almost like

"His car, he parked"

So when stuff sounds out of order it's probably because one's original language must have ordered words differently, and it's very cool how the process of learning language kind of gets you in the mindset of how to think differently too!

My indigenous language of mixtec (Tu'un N'davi) is a VSO language, or Verb-Subject-Object!

So in it "I will speak to you tomorrow"

Is "kahh Tdeo Taa"

Or "speak to you I will tomorrow"

I colored coded verbs objects and subject to show you how cool it is how words change and flow in different languages, I personally am a huge fan

Nuu - Village/City/Pueblo

Nuu is such a fun word, it sounds like you're saying "New", because in the city there's always something NEW to do in the NUU The most common endonym for the Mixtecs are the NUU SAVI, though there are many other names that the mixtec people give themselves, like mine, I would call myself the Tu'un Ndavi (which i will elaborate on in another update possibly)

start from the beginning

INGA-NAYIVI

Inga - Other/Strange/Weird

Nayivi -People/Person

so all together Inga'Nayivi could describe people not from earth, or alternate people who are not humans

my grandma had stories of alien like creatures who lived underground and in giant mountains...

the original art design was by Niyi Taan (Fabian Bonilla Lopez)

with permision of Inî

Id like to share some words in mixtec concerning día de los muertos! Since it's almost around the corner

Viko - Party

Ndii - Dead/death

Día de Los muertos is Viko-Ndii, which means Festival of the Dead!

Ita- flower

Ita-ndii means flower of the Dead and is very popular everywhere in Mexico for día de los muertos, because some beliefs say that the color of the petals is said to guide the dead back from the afterlife!

It's such a pretty flower
