Links to the community:
The community is open for everyone regardless of previous knowledge on the field. Feel free to ask or share stuff about languages and dialects, how they work (grammar, phonology, etc.), where they’re from, how people use them, or more general stuff about human linguistic communication.
And the rules are fairly simple. They boil down to 1) stay on-topic, 2) source it when reasonable, 3) avoid pseudoscience.
Have fun!

Great community!
Thank you!
Joined! Linguistics has been a (lately slightly neglected) passion of mine for quite a while!
Shhh, just be careful, Linguistics is addictive. And a gateway to even heavier drugs, like constructed languages!
Jokes aside I get the passion. It’s that sort of field of knowledge that, no matter where you look at, you’ll find something beautiful about it.
Sometimes it’s a small etymology that “clicks” on you, or a speaker using some idiosyncratic variation; sometimes it’s pondering how we humans seized the world because we speak, perhaps as instinctively as the spiders weave webs or the cats destroy furniture. There’s room in Linguistics to be creative, or to be rigorous; to look at the past, or to investigate the present.
