I am interested in the prevalence of German language as lingua franca among non-German nations of Dual monarchy. How common was it for your average Hungarian or Slav to speak German, and with what proficiency? Are there any good sources and books on this?
Bump, c'mon you KuK's
I might be mistaken but I think that the Croatian peasantry usually just spoke Croatian. The aristocracy and the middle classes were probably fluent in Croatian and German. Still though, that meant that no more than ~5 % of the whole population spoke German. Nevertheless the Croatian language had and still has a lot of germanisms.

What does it mean to be Semitic? I usually just think "jews" when I hear Semite, but what about the rest of them? Was Carthage Semitic? Is current north Africa Semitic?
family langage.
Semits= people speaking a semitic langage.
North African speak arabic, they're arabs so semits.
Carthage was culturally semitic. Like modern day tunisia.
>>279256
A person who speaks a semitic language, mostly arabs and jews.
Or a people supposedly descendant of the legendary biblical Shem, son of Noah. Again mostly arabs and jews. But also people of that area that doesn't exist anymore like Akkadians or Phoenicians (but not sumerians).

Lol. They vanished into the sky?
Their descendants are still there.
2000 years from now, do you think America will be remembered as fondly as Ancient Rome is today?
Nah
>>279237
Depends. If it's still there, then it'll be remembered like China: whatever its past legacy will be tainted/improved by 2000 Year old America (i.e. Everything Imperial Chinese did equated with communism by dumbfucks).
But if it breaks then only the component states will remember it like Rome.
>>279237
No because the US isn't similar to Rome in any way, it's just today's superpower. More comparable to Britain, France, or Spain in their day.

Please tell me why I should take soft sciences seriously, I'm all ears.
>>278569
Had you taken them seriously you could be reading something about them instead of posting it, and I would not have to see your thread.
>>278580
This is literally the same type of behavior I see from anyone from that field.
If you don't have a good way to dispute counter-arguments, your ''study'' is a fucking sham.
Please explain why we should take your vague shitpost seriously.
What are your thoughts on how developed would be the 15 sisters (countries) if there wasn't USSR in first place?
The Baltics would be better off, central Asia and the Caucasus would be worse.
I'd imagine the central asian republics would be a lot less developed. The baltics would probably be better off though.

What is this map smoking?
>Mozart=Hair Metal
>Beethoven=Grunge
>tfw history repeats itself
>>278277
Mozart was not very popular during his life though. Beethoven achieved a measure of success at least.
Your comparison would have to be about shitty hipster styles of music that caught on 40 years after they were developed.
>>278380
>Mozart was not very popular during his life though.
bullshit. his fame declined torwards the end though
>>278385
I never said he was unknown or some shit, just that he wasn't the height of popularity like hair metal was. Obviously he was well-liked enough to make a moderate living for most of his life, but he never really reached "superstar" status.
What is unique about European civilization?

I've heard there's a lot of love for Orthodoxy here. Time for some Vatican domination.
