Punjabi is native to Punjab, Gujarati to Gujarat, Tamil to Tamil Nadu, Marathi to Maharashtra, etc.--millions from those regions speak those languages as their first language. Does Hindi follow this pattern? If not, why did it evolve? Why didn't they just stick to Sanskrit as common language?

When everyone else especially the Dutch know it's pronounced with a CH like in Scottish loch, which is soft, not like in lock. And a G in dutch is pronounced like an H. I get why you have different pronunciation for words from British English, that's just normal divergence of language. Do you also pronounce Scottish surnames the way you read them, like the English do ? - such as Dalziel (should be pronounced Dee-yell), Menzies (should be pronounced Ming-iss), Lamont (should have stress on first syllable).

I see people (mainly teens) type like that all the time.

What do they call that style? I assume it's a style.

Why do they do it? Is it supposed to be cool?

And how do they do it so quickly and consistently?

Is there some program that does it for them?

Are there rules for what to capitalize or is it totally random?

I don't get it.

I have lived in the north and the south and have encountered this in both areas. I have heard this pronunciation from virtually every black person that I have heard speak the word. Any thoughts on why this happens or where it originates. Also, most black people pronounce aunt as "ah-nuh-ta". I am just curious and am not picking on my fellow citizens, it's just something that I have always been curious about. I do believe in peace and harmony and I share respect for all my fellow men.

... use the ending -a for the last name of females (like they do in all other slavic languages): e.g. Gorbatcheva, Kournikova, Stefankova, Loungarova, Magomerzuyeva, Yeltsina,...
but: Danijela Danicic (and not Danicina), Lidija Sucic (and not Sucina), Nezira Ramic (and not Ramina) ...

Why???
