   • Many European languages are very close to each other. You can see many similarities between English and German. I also found similarities between kurdish and Polish, Rusian, French and even english. If I knew more European languages I would find more common things. A languist can figure out this very easily. I am not proud for What I am telling you but I just write the realities. here I only concern about realities and science. But you only concern about how to degrade kurdish. You are an idiot unti science. 1999 April 16, ala...@my-dejanews.com, “Questions about Kemal Atatürk?”, in soc.culture.kurdish (Usenet), retrieved 28 Apr 2022:
   • Somehow I do not believe that knowing Hmong culture or language is a prerequisite to being a scholar or learned person. Of course, I would expect a Hmong languist to speak Hmong at the level of expertise required at his level of training. However, I would not apply the same to a Hmong mathematician, physicist, doctor, or any professional whose area of expertise is unrelated to Hmong culture or language. 2005 October 15, me, “The Truth about Hmong Culture.”, in soc.culture.hmong (Usenet), retrieved 28 Apr 2022:
