28/10/2021 (things i learned)
- Hindustani languages: Urdu & Hindi
- Persian and Arabic are completely different, the first also added new sounds to the alphabet, fewer than jawi but some similar to the way jawi added sounds گ پ ژ چ
- Han unification for Unicode causing problems between CJK (Chinese Japanese Korean) Wow this is super interesting
- SO MANY SPANISH SPEAKERS?? And why french is increasing so much? What does it offer? I dont get it...
- Read the twitter jawi thread on malaysian road names, so recent 1981 only start to rename. I can read quite fast wow, about 9-10wpm? tho not accurate measurement and small sample size. I'll test reading speed on new kid's books

- https://teddit.net/r/malaysia/comments/5vgbxb/muslim_redditors_how_many_of_you_can_read_jawi_on/ ok im guessing most malays in malaysia can read jawi, and majority can read slowly only? "merangkak"?
- "I can still read and write. Although the ejaan jawi now are different from when i used to eja so sometimes there are confusion." yeah i also wonder why the 1956 malay (jawi) for beginner english speaker book is so different
- where i read that islamic printing press was one reason for their academic lacking: https://hishamfangs.wordpress.com/2012/09/24/the-rise-and-fall-of-the-islamic-civilizations-golden-age-what-went-wrong/

- WHAT THE FUCK https://mysprsppa.spr.gov.my/ gives out so much information from just an IC number????? this is just begging to be abused :( i dont even want to think about it...
- hehe found a hack on xed, instead of moving the infobar panel that's blocking to close the Ctrl+F or Ctrl+H prompt, can just press the other to see the x button
- btw got my jawi children's books! Still dont know my reading speed (my vocab SUCKS HAH)
