Como ya hemos hablado, el Hinglish, el Spanglish y el Portuñol son todos ejemplos de mezclas lingüísticas o lenguajes híbridos, donde elementos de dos o más idiomas se entrelazan [74, Conversation History]. Son como "alfombras de lenguas" porque tejen palabras y expresiones de diferentes orígenes.El Hinglish, según nuestras fuentes, es una combinación dinámica de inglés y lenguas específicas del sur de Asia, principalmente el hindi, el urdu o el punjabi [74, Conversation History]. En el Reino Unido, a menudo se refiere al uso de palabras del sur de Asia dentro de una oración predominantemente en inglés, mientras que en la India, es frecuente lo contrario: palabras inglesas se entrelazan en oraciones predominantemente hindi, urdu o punjabi [74, Conversation History]. Esta mezcla puede añadir "sabor único y profundidad emocional" a la comunicación [Conversation History]. Las fuentes nos muestran muchos ejemplos de palabras Hinglish de uso común, como akal (sentido común), izzat (honor), josh (pasión), chai (té), bas! (¡suficiente!), entre muchas otras [74, 141, Conversation History].En contraste:El Spanglish es la fusión específica de español e inglés [Conversation History].El Portuñol (o Portunhol) es una mezcla que combina el portugués y el español [Conversation History].El hilo conductor entre todos ellos es que son ejemplos de alternancia de códigos (code-switching) o mezcla de idiomas, donde los hablantes combinan fluidamente elementos de dos lenguas diferentes dentro de la misma conversación o incluso frase [Conversation History]. Este fenómeno es impulsado a menudo por necesidades de comunicación en el mundo real, la identidad cultural o la evolución natural del lenguaje en contextos multiculturales [Conversation History].La razón por la que solo el Hinglish se destaca en nuestras fuentes con el carácter de "lengua común" es debido a la amplitud y profundidad de su prevalencia, integración e impacto, que no se detalla para el Spanglish o el Portuñol en los textos proporcionados:Enorme Base de Hablantes y Crecimiento Proyectado: Se dice que el Hinglish es "hablado como segunda lengua por 350 millones de indios". Un lingüista británico, David Crystal, incluso sugiere que el Hinglish "podría convertirse pronto en la forma más común de inglés hablado" a nivel mundial. Esta escala es masiva.Profundas Raíces Históricas y Ubicuidad: Las palabras del sur de Asia se han incorporado al inglés británico desde finales del siglo XVI. Estos términos, que alguna vez fueron "emocionantes y extravagantes", se han vuelto tan "comunes" que ahora se consideran "tan británicos como el rosbif y el pudín de Yorkshire, o... el pollo tikka masala". Esto indica una integración cultural profunda y duradera.Integración Cultural y Literaria: El Hinglish "encapsula el corazón y el akal (sentido común) de la cultura del sur de Asia" [Conversation History], siendo descrito como un "híbrido dinámico y vibrante" e incluso el "nacimiento de una lengua" [Conversation History]. Su presencia en obras literarias, como las "Hinglish Versions" de novelas, y diccionarios con entradas detalladas, subraya su estatus funcional y culturalmente significativo.Así, mientras que el Spanglish y el Portuñol son, sin duda, fusiones lingüísticas, el Hinglish es presentado con evidencia de una adopción y una proyección de futuro que le confieren una característica de "lengua común" de una manera única en la información que tenemos.Podríamos ver estas mezclas como diferentes tipos de "cócteles lingüísticos": cada uno tiene una base de ingredientes distinta (los idiomas que lo componen), pero todos comparten la característica de ser una fusión creativa, reflejando la fluidez y adaptabilidad de los hablantes. El Hinglish, con su inmensa y creciente comunidad de hablantes, es como un cóctel que se está convirtiendo rápidamente en un elemento básico en la mesa global.

Welcome to this episode in the new series of Local History Matters, the podcast run by the British Association for Local History (BALH) to highlight hidden local histories. In this series, we will be discussing with researchers how they got into their field of study, and what their topic can tell us about local history more generally. In this episode, Judith Rhodes shares some of the stories from the Yorkshire Dales that inspired her interest in local history. Jude splits her working life between family and local history research and nursing. She qualified as a genealogist through the Pharos and Society of Genealogists Advanced Skills and Strategies course and is a member of the BALH's Outreach Committee. Her main area of interest is in Yorkshire and particularly the Yorkshire Dales; as a Registered Nurse, Jude also assists individuals, and their families, who are living with dementia by using family history to create personalised books to stimulate meaningful and relevant conversations. You can follow along with the conversation about this podcast by using the hashtag #LocalHistoryMatters, and keep up to date with the work the BALH does by visiting our website https://www.balh.org.uk/ or following us on social media @BALHNews.

“There's always going to be problems—but now you can build your way out of them faster than ever before.” An engineer. A founder. A fan-first futurist. Michael Dodsworth is building smarter launch systems and reminding us all to focus on the next boulder. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. In This Episode In this episode, Michael Dargie sits down with Michael Dodsworth—an engineer-turned-founder with deep roots in fandom, tech, and creative process. Born in the north of England and now living in LA, Dodsworth is the founder ofFanfare, a platform helping brands, creators, and fans connect around high-demand, high-volume events like sneaker drops, product launches, and concert tickets. What started with a Commodore 64 and a love for problem-solving has evolved into a career spanning startups, acquisitions, and digital innovation. After being acquired by Salesforce and working with Ticketmaster, Dodsworth became obsessed with improving the chaotic, often unfair experiences fans face when trying to access products they love. Michael shares stories of his early days hacking Radio Shack computers, building balloon animations, and grinding through paper routes on steep Yorkshire hills. He opens up about the pressure of startup life, how he once crashed production two weeks into a job, and why joy and discipline—not motivation—are what keep him going. They explore everything from 80s synth pop and guilty-pleasure movies like Samurai Cop, to burnout, branding, and why Mario Kart and LA traffic can be strangely meditative. This is a conversation about building what won't leave you alone—and the power of just showing up. Quotable Quotes “You're never going to have perfection the first time you launch… there are nerve-wracking moments, but you just keep going.” “You're never going to button up everything. There's always going to be risks. The important part is to steady the ship.” “Find the thing that works for you—and do that. You don't have to follow anything you see in other places.” “Once you finally accept that playing Mario Kart is the right thing for you to do in these moments, you'll feel a lot better.” “There's always going to be problems—but now you can build your way out of them faster than ever before.” “That motivation fades pretty quickly. What's left is the belief you'll get there—and just showing up.” “I'm a big proponent of focusing on the process… Just the next boulder. That's it.” Episode Highlights Startup Life | Launching Fanfare and chasing fairness Growing Up Yorkshire | Paper routes, 8-bit computers, and grit Creative Pivot | When tech meets design and marketing Hacking Radio Shack | How curiosity built a career System Fail | Breaking production two weeks in Visual Identity | Rebranding the Fanfare experience Reset Routines | Driving, Mario Kart, and solo joy Food & Nostalgia | Curry sauce, chip shops, and old cravings Advice for Rebels | Keep showing up and focus on the next boulder Links from the Episode Fanfare (https://fanfare.io) Michael on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/fanfare-io/) Get Your Copy of Michael's Book: "BrandJitsu™: Move Your Brand From 'Meh' To Memorable" Indigo | Barnes & Noble | MichaelDargie.com

Send us a textBuy Me A Cup of Coffee and exclusive 'The Conversation' MerchEver wondered what happens after you land that dream literary agent? Award-winning journalist and novelist Lisa Rookes pulls back the curtain on publishing's hidden realities in this eye-opening conversation with Nadine Matheson.Lisa shares her journey from early agent excitement (receiving eight offers of representation!), the sobering reality when her manuscript didn't sell and her new novel, The Empty Cradle. Through candid storytelling, Lisa dismantles the myth that good writing automatically leads to publishing success, explaining how timing, market trends, and commercial factors often matter more than quality. The Empty CradleAmy's so sure that her husband, Joel, is deeply invested in their future together. After all, it's his dream of a family together that has them trying so hard to have a baby, despite a series of disappointments. It's this certainty that leaves Amy absolutely floored when she learns of Joel's affair with her best friend.Heartbroken and horrified, Amy flees to a dilapidated cottage in a Yorkshire village, a place she'd bought with dreams of making it feel homey and warm. In the new village, she feels like a clear outsider, but a group of local women soon take her under their wing. They gather for a routine book club, they say. Before Amy knows it, these women are in her life, and in heCosmic Muse: Vol. I: Your Voice (Mercury)Find your mercury placement in your birth chart and activate your personal voice codes.

In this deeply personal episode, I'm joined by Harriet Ennis, a psychology teacher from York and this year's winner of the British Psychological Society's Pre-Tertiary Education Psychology Teacher of the Year (PEPTOTY). Harriet reached out to share her personal experience of Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA), previously referred to as school refusal. Harriet brings both professional insight and a powerful parental perspective to the conversation, as she opens up about her daughter J's journey through this challenging experience. EBSA describes children who are unable—not unwilling—to attend school due to overwhelming emotional or mental health difficulties. It's estimated that 1–5% of students experience EBSA, though this number may be even higher post-COVID. It's not about truancy or defiance—it's about real, often invisible, distress.

A letter arrives—calm in tone, almost conversational. But beneath its surface, something unsettles. A favour once done, a house long locked, a memory that won't quite settle. There are impressions that can't be explained, and a sense—quiet, persistent—that something was not as it should have been. The Clock first appeared in W. F. Harvey's 1928 collection The Beast with Five Fingers, published by J. M. Dent & Sons. It has since been reprinted in several major ghost story anthologies. William Fryer Harvey (1885–1937) was a Yorkshire-born writer and Quaker, best known for his concise and unsettling tales of the supernatural. A former naval surgeon, he was awarded the Albert Medal for Lifesaving during the First World War.

Many of you will be familiar with the hymn 'Blessed be the tie', a very deep affirmation of the strength that comes when believers truly love each other. As so often there is a story behind the words. In the mid-eighteenth century, John Fawcett was a young Baptist preacher in poverty-stricken Wainsgate near Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire, when he received an invitation to come to a large and influential church in London. On the day of departure, with his family's possessions loaded onto a waggon, the distraught congregation begged him to stay – and he did, passing over the opportunity to minister in more affluent surroundings. In a remarkable demonstration of how precious these godly ties were, he remained faithfully ministering there for the rest of his life. May we draw fresh inspiration from the words he penned concerning the strength of our own relationships. As you will hear, I have written my own words to the tune, but with an occasional reference to the powerful original words of the hymn: God of hope and Lord of life, dearest lover of my soul You alone so worthy, You alone so dear. this is my ardent prayer: Jesus, make me evermore like You. No one else can fill my heart, no other passion satisfy; I am captured by Your beauty, and blessed by the tie that binds our hearts as one. Spirit-strong and Spirit-sure, Spirit-fired and Spirit-led, let all I am bow to serve and worship You. There is no splendour compared to knowing You, No lasting glory but Yours alone I yield my life to worship You Close companion, Shield, Defender, You confer such care on me. You reveal Yourself, dear Jesus, in speaking moments deep within my soul, that leave me trembling in awe and adoration, longing just to fill Your heart with joy. One thing I ask of You, One thing I desire: That you would open my eyes to see You in Your splendour, I want to gaze on Your beauty all the days of my life, and so become more like You, my Lord. Justin Coldstream wrote this musical arrangement for us, weaving in the theme of a popular folk song from Languedoc, (La Langue d'Oc), in the south of France. I had wondered if it might be possible to blend the two together, and he found a way to do it! Sue Harris reads the words I have written, and was joined by Thomas, Susanne and Julia Herzog, Ann Seifer, Alex Koderisch, Gabriele Kröhnert and Peter and Shirley Richards in this recent recording. These are the original words of the hymn: Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love; the fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above. 2 Before our Father's throne we pour our ardent prayers; our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, our comforts and our cares. 3 We share our mutual woes, our mutual burdens bear, and often for each other flows the sympathizing tear. 4 When we are called to part, it gives us inward pain; but we shall still be joined in heart, and hope to meet again. 5 This glorious hope revives our courage by the way; while each in expectation lives and waits to see the day. 6 From sorrow, toil, and pain, and sin, we shall be free; and perfect love and friendship reign through all eternity.

fWotD Episode 2998: Sir William Gordon-Cumming, 4th Baronet Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 20 July 2025, is Sir William Gordon-Cumming, 4th Baronet.Lieutenant-Colonel Sir William Alexander Gordon Gordon-Cumming, 4th Baronet (20 July 1848 – 20 May 1930), was a Scottish landowner, soldier, socialite and a notorious womaniser. He was the central figure in the royal baccarat scandal of 1891.

Something of an adventurer, he also spent time hunting in the US and India.A friend of Edward, Prince of Wales, for over 20 years, in 1890 he attended a house party at Tranby Croft in the East Riding of Yorkshire, where he took part in a game of baccarat at the behest of the prince. During the course of two nights' play he was accused of cheating, which he denied vehemently. After news of the affair leaked out, he sued five members of the party for slander; the Prince of Wales was called as a witness. The case was a public spectacle, widely reported in the UK and abroad, but the verdict went against Gordon-Cumming and he was ostracised from polite society.A handsome, arrogant man, Gordon-Cumming was a philanderer, particularly with married women. After the court case he married Florence Garner, an American heiress; the couple had five children, but their relationship was unhappy.

Johanna Kurkela is the lead singer of progressive folk group, Auri. If you open heart and ear to the mesmerizing, hauntingly beautiful soundscapes of AURI, you might find a beacon of light inside a sonic realm untouched by today's often scary, grim realities; a dreamscape that can be profoundly uplifting. On their third studio album, III - Candles & Beginnings' the stars have aligned yet again. Propelled by the unique and celestial voice of Johanna Kurkela, the magical textures of Nightwish mastermind Tuomas Holopainen and the almost unlimited musical palette of Nigtwish multi-instrumentalist Troy Donockley, Auri have presented a world to be unlocked with the senses, blending folk, progressive and symphonic elements, world music, pop and avantgarde.     Right after completing Nightwish's 2024 monument Yesterwynde, the songwriting for the third chapter in Auri's musical adventures started in 2023, with Troy writing in Yorkshire and Tuomas and Johanna working their creative magic in Kitee, Finland. By Autumn 2024, a 10-song demo was complete, setting the stage for what would become another breathtaking Auri journey. The band and their trusted engineer Tero "Teecee" Kinnunen took the mixing process to sunny Spain, letting the Andalucian vibes infuse the music whereas in March 2025 mastering was wrapped up by Tim Oliver at the legendary Real World Studios - a ground-breaking recording complex started by Peter Gabriel in 1989. The album is a tapestry of emotions - each song a world of its own, touching on childhood memories, vivid life experiences, and even a nod to one of the group's most beloved places on Earth - The Lion Inn at Blakey Ridge, a historic spot nestled in the North York Moors and one of the most remote pubs you will ever find. Visually, the cover artwork by Pete Voutilainen, layout and watercolors by Mikko Pankasalo plus calligraphy by Johanna Kurkela provide wonderful illustrations perfectly capturing Auri's unique musical visions. With guest musicians like Frank Van Essen (strings), Jonas Pap (cello), Juho Kanervo (basses), and the incredible drumming and percussion courtesy of Nightwish's Kai Hahto, Auri III - Candles & Beginnings is as lush as it is atmospheric and provides astonishing dynamics. Having been a studio endeavour in the past, Auri is finally going on tour with their first-ever live European trek kicking off in August 2025, followed by summer festivals in 2026, allowing you to hear, see and feel songs from their previous two albums, as well as brand new pieces from III - Candles & Beginnings (such as the atmospheric new video's ‘Shieldmaiden' and ‘Museum Of Childhood'). Its been a long time coming, but coming it is...

Juliana Horatia Ewing (August 3, 1841 – May 13, 1885) was an English writer of children's stories. Her writings display a sympathetic insight into children's lives, an admiration for things military, and a strong religious faith.Known as Julie, she was the second of ten children of the Rev. Alfred Gatty, Vicar of Ecclesfield in Yorkshire, and Margaret Gatty, who was herself a children's author. Their children were educated mainly by their mother, but Julie was often the driving force behind their various activities: drama, botany and so on. Later she was responsible for setting up a village library in Ecclesfield, and helped out in the parish with her three sisters. Early stories of hers appeared in Charlotte Mary Yonge's magazine The Monthly Packet.On 1 June 1867, Julie married Major Alexander Ewing(1830–1895) of the Army Pay Corps. A musician, composer and translator, he was also a keen churchgoer and shared his wife's interest in literature. Within a week of their marriage, the Ewings left England for Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, where he had received a new posting. They remained there for two years, before returning to England in 1869 and spending eight years in the army town of Aldershot. Although her husband was sent overseas again, to Malta in 1879 and Sri Lanka in 1881, Ewing's poor health precluded her from accompanying him.On her husband's return in 1883, the Ewings moved to Trull, Somerset, and then in 1885 to Bath, in the hopes that the change of air would do her good. However, her health continued to decline. After two operations, she died in Bath on 13 May 1885. She was given a military funeral at Trull three days later.Julie's sister Horatia Katharine Frances Gatty (1846–1945) published a memorial of her life and works, which includes a publication history of her stories. A later selection includes some of Julie's letters and drawings about Canada. A biography of her by Gillian Avery appeared in 1961.-bio via Wikipedia This is a public episode.
