The name of Lake Wendouree (in Australia) comes from a local aboriginal word wendaaree which means 'go away': a story is told that when settler William Cross Yuille asked a local indigenous woman what the name of the water body was, that was her reply. IIRC she was supposed to be bathing at the time.

Great video! The only inaccurate thing is: historical linguistics is not about -the language choices people make and how they relate to [. ] history. - It's about what languages looked liked in the past and how languages tend to change over time.

people are commenting about how this is inclusive of sign language but it-s a fact in linguistics that sign language is a language. so if it didn-t include sign language, it wouldn-t be crash course linguistics

Perfect timing! Everyone needs to be mindful of language, all the more in democracies and in messaging. I'd asked for a Crash Course in studying rhetoric and this is even better.

Yessss I've been waiting ages for this series! I'm so thrilled you're treating signed languages on the same level as spoken languages and taking a hard stance against prescriptivism!

I really like how much sign language is included in this! It feels really valuable, especially because a lot of people don-t really think of sign language as a -real language-

I can already tell the word play in the scripts (not to mention the comments) is going to be EPIC.
Already off to a fascinating start!

You're missing something so vital to language being unique to humans: recursion!
Features of human language = Hockett's study
