As a linguist, my takeaway is that we've all decided it's ok to go with "Kamala" and "Pence" and - no. Don't do this. Parallel reference terms, please.

Today I overheard my mum and dad practicing Cree syllabics together and I just can’t describe the feeling other than 🥺🥺. Bringing #ililîmowin into our home one word at a time! 👨‍👩‍👧 #languagerevitalization #moosecree #creelanguage #learningtogether

MIND BLOWN that Twitter cited contexts of reception in their decision to ban Trump's account. Not just *what was said* but *how it was interpreted* ... Serious linguistic unpacking forthcoming...

😸 tonight in #Cree class, speakers interacted in #ililîmowin, #nēhinawēwin, #Ojibwe, #Nishnaabemwin, #French, & #English. What a cool mix. It’s very helpful to compare dialects. This diversity made possible by virtual classes. #languagerevitalization ✨

Made ᐋᓚᐦᑯᓈᐤ (âlahkonâw) w/ my mom today. We didn't use English - when we didn't know the word in #cree we used gestures instead. We said all of the ingredients and measurements in #ililîmowin! Hope we didn't mix up the words for tsp and tbsp...😁 #languagerevitalization

Awesome article about #moosecree #languagerevitalization ! I was interviewed on behalf of ILR, the group I've cofounded to help with revitalization efforts in my hometown timminstoday.com/local-news/com…

How awesome to have an impromptu visit with a language holder in our virtual #ililîmowin class tonight 🤗Bonus: she confirmed that the conjugations we worked on as a class are correct!! #languagerevitalization #cree #moosecree #languagelearning

Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay ! I’m SO proud of the hard work my fellow #ililîmowin learners do to reclaim our language. It’s not always easy, we make lots of mistakes, but we always leave language nights with a smile.
