  • I don’t know if this is exactly how it works in Irish Gaelic, but in Scottish Gaelic the reason there are so many silent letters is because of vowel combinations, broad and slender consonants and lenition

    The Scottish Gaelic equivalent of that phrase would be “Thig ar latha” i think, which funnily enough doesn’t contain any silent letters I think







  • The Finnish equivalent would be viisisataaviisikymmentäviisituhattaviisisataaviisikymmentäviisi i think

    It’s even worse cause some of the numbers within the number are conjugated in the partitive case and whenever you want to conjugate the number into one of Finnish’s 15 cases you have to apply it onto every number, so that number conjugated in the inessive case (meaning in something) is viidessäsadessaviidessäkymmenessäviidessätuhannessaviidessäsadessaviidessäkymmenessäviidessä i think
