    500-700 people cannot live around the perimeter of this island as it’s outlined in red here. The island is just too huge. That many lived in one small area of the island. They traveled far and wide but not too often in bays in birch bark canoes. They didn’t have too, the rivers and sea and land provided.

    The “rules”? There are several noun endings (14 masculine and 25 feminine, give or take) that one eventually memorizes subconsciously that are pretty foolproof 99% of the time. So, in reality, it’s not as overwhelming as it first seems. We natives make mistakes all the time with uncommon nouns and to make this even more fun, gender can sometimes differ between France and Canada.

( Jamaica is ' regulated like that 😆 ) Theres still this problem ; J E S U I S................( I Am ) Hmmmmmm....why did ( obviously ) word for Jesus like spelling be adopted..........for conjugation of Etre- verb : ' To be ...' ..............I AM. ( Suggests early Christianity understood that " The great I Am..." who converses with Moses .....and JESUS were same being .....) The Cloisters Museum in N Y ....has Tapestries which once hung in quite ancient castles , You would think they knew what the words on them meant....by now. But no , the accompanying info say , ' We think .....that means ...xyz..' If Anyone could find ( Scholarly ) evidence.....as to ...why , the first Romance language adopts the letters for Jesus........to mean , " I Am ".........( Instant World recognition l would think ).... Venerable Bede claimed......" There were no ' writers for the first 200 years....' encompass ing....time of developing of verb conjugation.................

    Latin names for the days of the week are quite like Sanskrit names. Starting with Sunday they are named after the Sun (Ravi or Āditya रवि or आदित्य), the Moon (Soma or Candra, सोम or चन्द्र), Mars (Mangala or Bhauma or Kuja, मङ्गल or भौम or कुज), Mercury (Budha बुध), Jupiter (Bṛhaspati or Guru, बृहस्पति or गुरु), Venus (Śukra, शुक्र), and Saturn (Śani, शनि).

    This video doesn't explain AT ALL why French is so very different from Latin. It isn't just that pronunciation has changed, there's that ridiculous accent, not shared by anyone else on Earth. They don't even pronounce their words!

    Probably as close to accurate account as Ive seen. I studied the topic at mun. The conclusion I came to reading all the papers was early on the beothuk had interactions positive and negative with Europeans in 1600s. Then it seems there is big blank spot in history books. It seems they would burn structures made by migratory English fishery for metal when they'd leave in fall, so they must of had a falling out. It seems whomever led beothuk choose to retreat into interior where they mostly died of not accessing resources on coast and European diseases and pressure/ conflict from Peyton men ( or so far as Europeans could make out) its definitely a part of history could be put into inconclusive pile. Ofcourse, there is no shortage of Newfoundland over simplified theories. Newfoundland was hard spot with limited seasonal food resources. A bad season on any two of these resources is dire straits.
