For many linguists, the path to research on non-literary Indic languages always begins as a Sanskritist, eh?

Emeneau: Sanskrit ↦ Dravidian
Kobayashi: Sanskrit ↦ Dravidian
Tikkanen: Sanskrit ↦ Burushaski
Berger: Sanskrit ↦ Burushaski

Yasin Burushaski strongly velarizes /l/, unlike in Hunza.

Furthermore, /l/ and /ɾ/ both devoice before voiceless consonants. The extremely common cluster /lt/ is realized as [l̥t], and /ɾʈ͡ʂ/ as [ʂʈ͡ʂ]. None of this is seen in Hunza.

This makes Yasin Bur. phonetically close to neighboring Khowar.

I am currently working on a Python script in Lakota, the biggest issue atm is that I don't know Python or Lakota.

Hairy cats are the likely derivation of the English word 'caterpillar' – coming from Old Norman *catepelose, itself from Latin catta 'cat' and pilōsa 'hairy'.

Meanwhile, it was little dogs that were the inspiration for the Modern French equivalent word for the bug (chenille).
