I was in Lisbon a while back, very nice city. Interesting history (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1755_Lisbon_earthquake), nice architecture, good food (those bacalaos!) and cool vibe overall.

Spanish people are probably worse when it comes to English proficiency these days.

Probably, people are always surprised that they have to speak Spanish even in some touristy areas.

ça ne devrait pas être la langue nationale d’un état membre.

Honnêtement maintenant que le Royaume-Uni est dehors, s'il n'y a que les Irlandais et les Maltais qui sont privilégiés, ça me va. L'espéranto est intéressant mais trop compliqué à mettre en place, l'anglais est déjà là et parlé par pas mal de monde en Europe.

Basically, that's it.

I'm a French speaker, so I try to participate mainly on the French speaking communities such as !forumlibre@jlai.lu, !rance@jlai.lu, !cineseries@jlai.lu, but the issue is that apart from the 2-3 top ones, the others are usually very quiet.

I know it's a chicken and egg problem (as you need content for people to come and participate), but for instance with movies, I'm always torn between posting the content in the French-speaking community, or the much larger !movies@lemm.ee, where I know that the audience is much bigger. Same for science, history, most topics actually.

I don't expect anyone to have a magical formula (the most obvious solution being just having more speakers of that language on Lemmy), but I was curious to see if other people in the same situation had insights to share.

I try to live by !simpleliving@lemmy.ml principles. Sometimes I confront this with other people on !askmenover30@lemm.ee or !casualconversation@lemmy.world

This is the most exhaustive site I could find on the subject, as legislation evolves quite rapidly. Other maps I found were from a few years ago and didn't take into account recent developments.

Identified errors:

This is not correct for Romania: officially it’s Surname + Given-name, live in Hungary.

Not true for Greece, it’s just First-name + Surname. It just happens that some Surnames are derived from the father’s name (think “Anderson”).

Someone pointed out that it would be Sanah for Poland.

Very interesting, thank you for your insight!

[-] Servais@jlai.lu 4 points 9 months ago

Interesting, you seem to have had a thrilling life at some point. Any crazy stories to share?

[-] Servais@jlai.lu 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Do you have the same for à, ç ô, û, î, ê, and all the Polish special consonants?

the acute accent (kreska; ⟨ć, ń, ó, ś, ź⟩); the overdot (kropka; ⟨ż⟩); the tail or ogonek (⟨ą, ę⟩); and the stroke (⟨ł⟩).
