New Zoo Revue. Yes.

1:44 - I really like soup. Or at least I like referencing soup.

2:08 - Alabama. I have nothing to say about Alabama as a state or college sports corporation. I just liked the elephant logo. It looked like an Alafuckingbama elephant.

3:09 - Cebuano. Information on Cebuano taken from "Language Files" 11th Ed.

3:46 - Alternation. Yeah, I screwed up and called it ablaut. Oops.

4:50 - Elizabethan English. We need a term that covers roughly everything from Shakespeare to yesterday. We can't keep calling it "modern English" because, well, that kind of stretches the definition of "modern". Some authors separate "modern English" from "Present Day English", but I think that just makes things worse. Instead, I've taken a cue from Neal Stephenson and gone with "Elizabethan English" the kind of English spoken from the reign of Elizabeth I to Elizabeth II. It's perfect!

5:22 - Language map of reduplication in the world's languages is taken from the World Atlas of Linguistic Structure, here:

5:57 - Compounding... Actually, turns out I was dead wrong. Compounding is pretty common. What I'm describing is the kind of compounding found in Germanic languages, which is by no means the whole of it. See the Wikipedia entry:

6:41 - The neon brain is from Neon Brain:

7:10 - Language names in their own script taken mostly from Omniglot. Apologies for any errors.

Love the wug reference! Wugs are great. Question: does the picture at the beginning have any significance? (I'm referring to the one made of hexagons and pentagons with white lines on top)
