Did you know that Aragonese, also known as the Romance language, is native to the Pyrenees valleys of Aragon, Spain? Aragon is a landlocked region in northeastern Spain and it's bisected by the Ebro River, with the Pyrenees Mountains in its north. Aragon's primary source of energy is hydroelectricity, generated by the damming of the Ebro River and its northern affluents in Huesca.

Like many of Spain's other regions, Aragon has a unique cuisine and rich gastronomic heritage. It’s delicacies include thick stews, packed with both meat and vegetables, asparagus from the banks of the River Ebro, the onions from Fuentes and boiled borage leaves.
Fiestas del Pilar, Zaragoza and Carnival Bielsa are some of the noted festivals of Aragon, Spain.

Hi @sakamvari,

Thank you for sharing the source: https://forum.lexulous.com/topic/743/zdravejte-hello-in-bulgarian

Thank you for sharing this one.

@mistertoad my guess would be that English (or maybe "english") is acceptable as a word in certain games (in billiards one can "put some english" on a shot). Similarly, graphic artists use india ink, and when guests come over I bring out the good china: turning proper nouns into common ones! (of course I do still frequently see words being accept in the game when I had assumed they would be disallowed because of capitalization issues...)

Thanks this helps me a lot.

this is very interesting for me

@mapmakere said in Unusual / interesting words found from lex:

@anexparrot 'evite' is a go, but not 'evote'. UK dictionary. On checking tho, I see the former does not mean an invitation rec'd by email. 🙂

Yes, I've seen evite. Eviting is good in both UK and US as is evited!

@betterlate1-0 Oh.

@pangloss yes, the Basque language is fascinating! I don't know a lot about it but maybe I could propose that we call it one of the "purest" rather than the "oldest" languages? In other words, it must certainly have evolved over the millennia, but without much influence from other languages. It doesn't seem likely that it would be unchanged from the time of Neanderthal humans. (AFAIK it's unproven whether Neanderthals had a spoken language...)
