      @Jotari 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @Yeet Yeet Kosovo's independence already happened before this series started. I'm guessing they skipped it because it's not a UN member state, so they'll only be obligated to do it if that situation changes, which is not likely to happen in the next few years. Point being, nothing about Kosovo has actually changed between the start of this series and the present day, so it's not a country that's "popped up" since the start of the series. The most likely countries to come into existence before they finish would be Bougainville or Scotland.

    Fun fact: L sounding like D is perfectly logical. Phonetically speaking, a lot of languages have L and D at the same place of articulation, and both are voiced consonants, the main differences being D is 'central' and L is 'lateral'. (Se)Sotho is no exception. Basically, think of it like how the distinction between L and R isn't perfectly clear in some languages. There's lots of phonetic similarities between L and D and L and R.

Most of the information is completely accurate, other than butchering of the language (but that’s not your fault so it’s okay), and the correction of our people’s name (Mosotho singular), Lesotho also has the second biggest damn wall in Africa and yes, Desmond Dube is Mosotho. 😊 Thank you again for this video, loved it!

On the SA side, by contrast, there was a big border operation (presumably meant to keep people from crossing illegally into SA looking for work).
