Heterogeneous Linguistics - Vol. 4 Ch. 28 - I Tried To Classify All Sorts of Monsters

I gotta say, I was very surprised to see my Linguistics fix come with a side of Ueno, lol
 
I must admit all of these linguistic talk is beyond my comprehension, but i still love the interaction entrails.
 
My brain is exploding. Imagine if you spoke entirely in rhythm game segments. madness.
 
I don't know how I can like this so much while being even more confused than the main character most of the time.
 
Snakes entangling in you just for travelling seems like a rather scary experience nonetheless.

Especially since they could feel my heartbeat going crazy and I'm afraid they might interpret that as something.
 
Goes to tell you just how complex languages are. For those of you in college and are interested in learning more, take a Linguistic Anthropology course. You'll be surprised how accurate this manga has been about stuff, and how his methods can be applied to the real world.
 
This is by far the most interesting manga on the site. Thank you for picking up the yoke.
 
Nice chapter, thanks for the TL.

Managed to follow most of the language bits, but still confused on EEEU and Goblin.
Goblins are maybe half-breeds? But then what does EEEU mean. Was it a title for the folks in the forest, or was it their species? Is it Synonymous with goblin? This chapter says that the word goblin in Werewolf and Lizardfolk is a calqued version of the Goblin endonym, But if goblin is the endonym for the goblins why did the ones in the forest call themselves EEEU. Wouldn't that have been their endonym? Does that mean the forest folk weren't goblins and EEEU was their endonym?

I'm not cut out for linguistics...
 
Thank you so much for the translation! This is honestly my fav manga on the site and I'm glad it's being picked up on

I'm trying to figure out what Hakaba meant on the last few pages. Considering that the great-grandmother was the last speaker of her language, and what the professor said on the note, and the state of relations between humans and monsters, I imagine it's something like hoping that Susuki won't be forgotten and alone? After all he clearly cares for her a lot, and he understands the pain of not being able to tell your story through language, but i cant help but feel im missing the mark. Any thoughts?
 
@BasilD maybe because she is a half, that means she is either and neither from the both world, and depending on the circumtances she can be isolated, I think.

@Liquidxlax I dont, because in natural world, animals already eat each others.
