Everything should have raspberry jam in the middle. ^^ Except maybe cabbage.

The Italian language is a mess.
Very complicated to talk about.
If I ask you how the Ch should be used, you literally go crazy.

Ch'io, ch'he, ch'altri: the elision of which
Which can be elided in front of a word beginning with the vowels e, i; and in this case it always becomes ch': ch'he, ch'io: the h is necessary to preserve the hard, guttural pronunciation of the consonant c. But the same elision can also be made in front of words that begin with a, o, u: ch'altri, ch'ode, ch'urla. There are those who, to economize an h, write c'altri, c'ode, c'urla, using as an excuse that the guttural pronunciation of the c is given naturally by its encounter with the vowels a, o, u. Economics inadvisable because the elision only concerns the final vowel of the word, i.e. the e.

Another case: that in front of the verbal forms ho, hai, ha, they have. The elided forms will be: ch'ho, ch'hai, ch'ha, ch'hanno. Here too, for the reason mentioned above, the forms c'ho, c'hai, c'ha, c'hanno are not recommended. Those who prefer accented verb forms without the h (see initial h: a surviving letter), will write ch'ò, ch'ài, ch'à, ch'ànno. Absolutely do not use the forms c'ò, c'ài etc.


The same rules also apply to the elision of certain conjunctions such as also, why, until, although, for the indefinite adjective some etc.: too, too, even today, though I, because I, until had, some other. But except for also, all these eliminations smell old: reserved for those who love antiques.

cabbage should be in a cabbage sandwich with corned beef and porn wine cheese in the middle.

Looks like others already did it? -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%CC%83

Italian is dying out.

A language lives if:
1) If you use it pure
2) A language lives if you use it technologically.

It doesn't happen to us.


I predict and not only me that within the next 25 years only English will be spoken here.

The French use their language peremptorily, they use Ordinateur to indicate PC .

We use PCs.

And other ways but always with English terms.

i think he was wondering about where to get an english language character set that included this.

Yeah. It's a 'tilde' symbol. The same symbol that the Spanish speaking world uses over the first n in the word manana (tomorrow) to indicate that you pronounce it "manYAna" (always manana). But my keyboard doesnt have that symbol.

So ...why not use Blabby's idea? For those dialects that you have roll the r's?

"If it's not from Scotland it's cRrap!"

But my keyboard doesnt have that symbol.

@Blabby They just hafta put instructions in the margins.
