A jeweler examines an emerald. "Aha," he says, "another green emerald. In all my years in this business, I must have seen thousands of emeralds, and every one has been green." We think the jeweler reasonable to hypothesize that all emeralds are green. Next door is another jeweler having equally comprehensive experience with emeralds. He speaks only the Choctaw Indian language. Color distinctions are not as universal as might be thought. The Choctaw Indians made no distinction between green and blue—the same words applied to both. The Choctaws did make a linguistic distinction between okchamali, a vivid green or blue, and okchakko, a pale green or blue. The Choctaw-speaking jeweler says: All emeralds are okchamali. He maintains that all his years in the jewelry business confirm this hypothesis. (William Poundstone, Labyrinths of reason)
Corsican language
The Corsican language is currently considered by Unesco as a "definitely endangered language". This site's aim is to help reviving the Corsican language by providing translation into Corsican. It translates French and Italian into one of the three main Corsican variants: 'cismuntincu', 'sartinesu' or 'taravesu'.
