For too long Yakuts, Dolgans & other tribes have been held hostage by forces of Western-backed tribal separatism We will not stand idly by as our brothers & sisters are forced to live in a state of perpetual disunity & chaos #Western #Uralic ( #Moscow ) degenerated ideas are rotting us to the core

The Mozilla #CommonVoice #dataset v20 was released yesterday - the largest open #speech dataset in the world. My #dataviz, linked below, shows a continuation of patterns seen for some years now:

➡️ There's more data collected for #Catalan (ca) than for #English (en) - testament to the independence and language reclamation efforts in Catalunya. Language and cultural transmission are deeply intertwined.

➡️ Some of the newer #languages to Common Voice, like #Ligurian / #Genoese (lij) have contributions from mostly older speakers, which is unusual in comparison to the rest of the dataset. This may reflect the population that currently speak those languages - as many regional languages in Italy are in rapid decline.

➡️ Some languages such as Eastern Mari / Meadow Mari (mhr) - a #Uralic language spoken in the Mari-El Republic within Russia - have samples from predominantly female-identifying speakers, again contrasting to the rest of the dataset. Other languages here include #Cantonese (yue), #Georgian (ka), and #Kalenjin (kln).

➡️ A key part in the preparation of the Common Voice dataset is the validation of utterances to assure they match their written transcription - which requires at least two validations by separate speakers. Some newer languages to Common Voice, such as Erzya (myv) and Moksha (mdf), both Uralic languages, have nearly 100% validation.

What are your interpretations of the dataset?

láske kůkkía
laske kukkia
λάσκε κουκκία
count the beans (Finnish + Greek)

F kukka 'flower' < kókkos / κόκκος 'pine cone, pine nut'. The meanings 'pine cone' and 'bean' are attested in South Estonian kukk; the latter meaning is compared with κουκκί 'fava bean'. However, 'bean' may be a coincidental semantic convergence from the original HF kókkos. Still, kukkí means 'bean' in Finngreek.
