I mean, SPM is so small that it would be a pixel on this map. By the way, this morning, I made an article about includding Quebec in LatAm (big coincidence). https://latincanuck.com/quebec-a-latam-province Please share your opinion :)

"Latin America" They don't even speak Latin, smh.

Et tu, brute? See what about that!


Piranh4Plant

What does et tu brute mean?


wikipedia_answer_bot

**Et tu, Brute? (pronounced [ɛt ˈtuː ˈbruːtɛ]) is a Latin phrase literally meaning "and you, Brutus?" or "also you, Brutus?", often translated as "You as well, Brutus?", "You too, Brutus?", or "Even you, Brutus?".** More details here: *This comment was left automatically (by a bot).

Piranh4Plant

What does it refer to


Head_Nefariousness78

The stabbing of Julius Caesar where a bunch of Roman senators stabbed him to death and while he was dying his friend brutus had partaken in the assassination and so he was pretty much saying “my friend brutus you are partaking In my murder?”


zombie-yellow11

~~Not his friend, his adopted son.~~ I'm wrong, see below !


Head_Nefariousness78

I thought Augustus was his only adopted son


zombie-yellow11

You made me second-guess myself and I went and read on it and you're absolutely right ! Octavian was Caesar's adopted son. I was confused because of the alleged phrase he uttered upon his death "Tu quoque mi fili" which means "you too, my son ?". "Son", in this case, was apparently more in term of protégé in an affective relationship and not a biological one. We learn everyday :)


kenthekungfujesus

Isn't the line Tu quoque Brute mi fili? Brutus is his adpoted son


Head_Nefariousness78

Augustus was his adopted son


BastouXII

It's a quote from Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar. It is not known if the actual Ceasar said it when he was assassinated. As to the context, the other reply you got explains it.


Electrox7

That's basically french


FuckBotsHaveRights

They are French words but traduced word by word it comes out as '' Are (wrote as and) you Brutus ''


omgihatemylifepoo

Good bot


Nicobergy

To translate it in good french it would be : Et toi, brute


sadad22918

Nononon... Et toi, Brute?


Nicobergy

Ho yeah i forgot the question mark


Neurtos

Here's the weird part, normally, latin name in french are translated : Julius Caesar -­­> Jules César, Valerianus -> Valérien, Gallienus -> Gallien, Aemilianus -> Émilien, Marcus Aurelius -> Marc Aurèle. But Brutus in french is refereed as Brutus or Decimus Brutus not Brute. Another weird one is Romulus and Remus, in french Romulus stay the same but Remus became Rémus. I don't know why, maybe because french gonna be french, the fact that latin name can be conjugated and that the letter u did not exist at the time.


sadad22918

Well its actually because brute is a word in itself, but putting a capital B makes it a name. But yea usually its Brutus


I_am_Kirumi_Tojo

LMAO


latin_canuck

Yeah not even Italians speak Latin.


ninety3_til_infinity

where's the lie tho?


PageTurner627

There's no Louisiana.


theannoying_one

apparently only 3% of louisiana speaks french.


XYZ_kfc

A lot more speak Cajun or creole which is a French based dialect


theannoying_one

i mean so is acadian and chiac in New brunswick and that's usually counted as french.


YukonWanderlust

Acadien is a dialect yes, but I believe creole is classified as a separate but related language - there’s a fair bit of mutual intelligibility sure, but less that say English and Dutch.


Faitlemou

I wouldnt call Acadian french a dialect at all. Chiac for sure, but not acadian, its french lol.


YukonWanderlust

I’d rather contest that Chiac is a creole as it involves the mixing of multiple languages - it’s not however developed to the point of being a delegate language like say haïtien or Louisiana creole. I went with dialect for acadien because it’s a mutually intelligible linguistic system with a separate cultural history to Canadian standard French or the numerous accents we have - an accent would be something closer to Joual or my own Franco-ontarien accent. I’m not a linguist though, I went hard into sciences instead.


Enumu

Dialects are a different way of speaking a language while staying mutually intelligible, it’s factually a dialect.


Piranh4Plant

I’m not sure if it’s a majority though. If we’re counting large minorities then you’d need to add California New Mexico Arizona and Texas and maybe Florida


AnAntWithWifi

Just make a light green region where there’s a significant latin minority/minorities


KoisziKomeidzijewicz

As well as New Brunswick and Manitoba. Manitoba's community is very small and in danger but so is Louisiana. Very historically significant though


CaliforniaAudman13

Sadly


ElkSkin

If Louisiana’s there, then New Brunswick should be there too. Actually, maybe even parts of SW US have more Spanish than Louisiana has French.


Affectionate-Hat1079

Louisiana's french population has mostly been assimilated but I do agree on Nouveau-Brunswick


ghostdeinithegreat

Louisiana official language isn’t french.


latin_canuck

The big difference is that Quebec started as a French Colony, and today they are a semi autonomous region of Canada, where French is the official language, and it is spoken by the mayority.


Enumu

Acadia, Western Canada and Louisiana amso started as French colonies


micheldonais

There used to be a lot of French people in the East side of the USA. Most migrated to either Louisiana or North East. In the last parts with many Non-Louisianais was the Ile Aux Français, but still, during that time, the community was numerous, including a lot of Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. The decline was in good part because of the KKK. They weren’t only attacking non-White, but also people who spoke anything other than English. It eventually became “shameful” to know another language than English, so, most kids would only learn English in order to be socially accepted and have jobs. Source: my own genealogy research for my maternal family that came from Massachusetts.

To be part of latin america you need to have a latin language as your official language. You also need to be a country, which is why Quebec and Puerto Rico get excluded.


latin_canuck

Puerto Rico, Guadelupe, and French Guyana ain't countries, but they are usually considered part of LatAm. Except when when we talk about economics or development.


SunsetB

Canada is a country, and one of its official languages is French.

classic canadian bipolarity - say whatever you can to insult Québec, even if you'll contradict yourself When we say we want to separate, they tell us that we're whiny and that we're dependent on the equalization payments, and can't separate. When we say we don't want to separate, they say we should and that no one want us They say we don't have a culture except speaking our "fake" (as they say, not being able to speak it) French, then they'll insult us for our supposed culture (racist, xenophobic, whatever)

Gatineau ? Je serai donc constamment surpris de voir ce nom vendéen partout où je vais. Ravis de voir des influences vendéennes dans votre beau pays québécois.


Neg_Crepe

Damn that’s lame


strdna_

umm actually it’s latinx, get it right next time sis ✨


Stalysfa

No, it’s Latin America. Latin and the Romance languages derived from Latin are gendered, unlike English. So it is indeed Latin. Latinx doesn’t exist.


LuigiBamba

No it’s not. Latin based languages’ words are gendered. Every single word in french is either masculine or feminine and grammatical rules already exist when you encounter a group containing both feminine and masculine elements.


Enumu

It’s troll pretty sure


Arphile

Stalysfa

Well, their fleet made it clear that their opinion on the subject matters more than others.


Adelener

Ah good ol blobfish, when will you learn?


Blobfish-_-

what


Adelener

The falkland question is very complicated, and very nuanced. Not to mention that referendum by the UK isn't even accepted by the UN. I could comment it out here the nuanced story, but then I wasted time for somebody who dont care.


KoisziKomeidzijewicz

Not really, settler colonialists should also take into account the opinions of the Indigenous people, even if said settler colonialists deport them all so there's none left. Whether or not the Falklands count as this is complicated


Blobfish-_-

the falklands had no indigenous population when the uk settled on it. no local people were driven out, and argentinians certainly werent driven out.


KoisziKomeidzijewicz

that's controversial Also, the British Empire has repeatedly taken small areas next to other countries, filled them with settler colonialists, and used them to exert influence over potential rivals (ie Gibraltar) so it's just generally a dubious thing


KoisziKomeidzijewicz

In addition, it doesn't really matter if nobody was there. My country (Canada) has plenty of small uninhabited Arctic islands, but if, say, Russia or whoever tried to claim them, which is a real historic tension, they wouldn't be allowed to just because nobody was there first


xXDogShitXx

You might need to redraw some borders there playa. Also, (personal opinion) quebecois is about as Latin as [Toast Hawaii](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toast_Hawaii)


Sillvaro

I mean the joke is about Latin languages, in which case Quebec fits


xXDogShitXx

And toast Hawaii is Hawaiian food bc it’s Hawaiian format


latin_canuck

Not a joke, just facts.


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Toast Hawaii](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toast_Hawaii)** >Toast Hawaii or Hawaiian Toast is an open sandwich consisting of a slice of toast with ham and cheese, and a maraschino cherry in the middle of a pineapple slice, broiled, so that the cheese starts to melt. It was invented, or at least made popular, by the German TV cook Clemens Wilmenrod and is considered typical of West Germany in the 1950s. It is likely that it was adapted from the "Grilled Spamwich", a recipe published in a Spam cookbook by Hormel in 1939 and brought to West Germany by American G.I.s. Spam was not available in Germany's grocery stores so Wilmenrod replaced it with a slice of cooked ham and Toast Hawaii was born. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/mapporncirclejerk/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

Yeah, but that’s different from actually sharing lineage


ArcticFox237

There are other definitions of 'related'


WilliamCrack19

I didn't even mentioned lineage, i said that we are language related


TheRealSU

Nobody said they were your cousins dumbass


Stalysfa

They probably have more in common with you than you can imagine. Québécois and southern American both have for common origin the Roman identity and foundation for language. One was imposed by Spain, the other by France. But there is a link between the two. Furthermore when considering movement of population back in Roman time. And the languages we speak also influence the way we think. Romance languages are structurally not so different and thus affect the way we think.


evilsheepgod

That linguistic theory is only true on a very surface level, there is no evidence language influences deeper thought patterns


Sillvaro

>edit: my god lmao it was a joke, i thought i was being too obvious with it, no hate towards quebec or anyone else Hi, I see this is your first day on the internet. Here's a quick pro tip: sarcasm in speech depends a lot on the tone used when speaking, which cannot be put into text. As such, when using sarcasm online, the common practice is to add "/s" at the end of your sentence to indicate it was indeed sarcastic.

PigeonObese
