New Discoveries

I started this blog as I was crazy to take the plunge into Indo-Aryan and Semitic languages.  The Indo-Aryan includes languages like Pashto, Persian, Hindi, and Urdu, and Semitic languages are Hebrew, Arabic, Amharic, and Tigrinya.

I am currently studying Persian and Arabic at the same time.  Yes, I know, I'm totally crazy and I totally agree.  These languages, or at least the Arabic script Naskh (نسخ) is hard, as the implicit short-vowels totally threw me off.  My mind is starting to absorb them and from this I am gaining inspiration.  I think the script is rather beautiful and mystical.
