What about Pannonia, Transalpine Gaul and African coast provinces?

I forgot to qualify with "not conquered by Muslims" which is why they speak Arabic rather than Vandal Latin in Africa now, and I said Illyria, by which I meant the greater region including Pannonia.

Sorry.

And Transalpine Gaul a part of which is now more or less Switzerland?

A contentious proposal from one First Nation leader:

He might even be right...but really, is any provincial gov't going to sign over a portion of resource revenue as the Native Cut? Might be a place to start a dialogue in any case.

Some movement by the province:

Not resource revenue sharing, but an aid to reserve based business out of general revenue.
No admission of any requirement, treaty or otherwise, to extend such funding; safer from a political perspective.

Yeah, but it's French and Italian speaking.

There is also Rhaetian, but most of it is German speaking.

It's official, even if barely reported within Canada; the gov't apparently did engage in "cultural genocide" according to the Supreme Court:

Well that's a big stack of no shit sherlock. What do you think assimilation actually means?

**Greyblades** · 08-13-2015, 15:42

Call me when they admit to actual genocide.

Forced assimilation is wrong from a human rights perspective, especially when the victims are natives and not immigrants. Dictating how people should speak, think, dress, and identify themselves in order to create "national unity" is fascist, in the literal sense of the term. The difference between the Nazis and the Canadian government was that unlike the Nazis, the Canadians believed the First Nations' inferiority was not inherent and could be taught out of them. Trying to destroy a culture is not as brutal as killing people on an industrial scale but the goals are similar. It is an attempt to extinguish a group of people.

Sorry.

Tamazght exists, it predates "Vandal Latin", so no they wouldn't speak Latin but Neo-Carthaginian.

Screw ya'll Romans, Carthage lives again
