# High Tider

The **High Tider** accent, also **Hoi Toider** for the pronunciation of the *ai* dipthong found in the dialect, is a variety of Southern American English spoken in the Outer Banks of South Carolina and North Carolina. The High Tider accent can also be called the **Ocracoke Brogue**.

* Conversion of *i* to *ee*, so that *fish* is pronounced as *feesh* and *kitchen* as *keechen*. This also happens with *e* so that *pen* can be *peen* for example.

* Dropping of certain consonants except *r*, so *cape* is pronounced as *cay*

* Rhoticity (no r-dropping)
# Appalachian English

**Appalachian English** is a dialect of English that is spoken in the Appalachian Mountains region, especially in the southern part of the Appalachians. Research suggests it is one of the most different dialects in the United States from the others.

Since the 1930s, much research has been done to figure out where the dialect came from. One theory is that the dialect is a remnant of Elizabethan (or Shakespearean) English that has been preserved by the region's isolation. Another theory suggests that the dialect developed out of the Scots-Irish and Anglo-Scottish border dialects that were brought to the region by some of its earliest settlers, who were from the border of Scotland and England, in the British Isles.

Recent research suggests that Appalachian English developed as a uniquely-American dialect, as early settlers adapted English to their unfamiliar frontier environment. That is supported by the many similarities between it and Colonial American English.
# New Orleans English

**New Orleans English** refers to the range of accents native to the Greater New Orleans metropolitan area. It's often described as New York City English or the Boston accent mixed with Southern American English. Most subvarieties are non-rhotic.
# Tinglish

**Tinglish** is an English dialect used by Thai people. English is more complicated than the Thai language and English grammar is easily understood. Tinglish is a simple form of English that is usually hard to understand by English speakers. However, many words in Tinglish have a uniquely Thai pronunciation. Time can be a confusing subject in Tinglish. Thais use a 24-hour clock instead of a 12-hour clock.

# Stay-at-home order

A **stay-at-home order** (North America) or a **movement control order** (Southeast Asia) is an order from a government to lower/end movements of a population as a mass quarantine move for stopping an epidemic, or pandemic. This is done by ordering residents to stay home except for essential tasks or to work in essential businesses.

In many cases, outdoor activities are allowed. Nonessential businesses are either closed or made to working from home.

In some regions, it has added a curfew or called a **shelter-in-place order**, but it is not to be confused with a shelter in place situation.

Similar measures have been used around the world, but the term **lockdown** is used instead.

# Elsagate

**Elsagate** is a neologism referring to a controversy about videos posted on YouTube and YouTube Kids. The videos were titled family friendly, but contained inappropriate themes such as graphic violence, sexual content, fetishes, vulgar language, drugs, alcohol, injections, diseases, crude humour and dangerous activities.

The videos showed characters from family-oriented media, mostly used without any legal permission, thus having no restrictions to the characters' usage limits. The term was created through a mix between Disney's Elsa character, frequently featured in the videos, and the suffix "-gate", used for scandals. A few channels, such as Toy Freaks, featured real children for videos, raising concern from the public about the chance of child abuse being involved.

However, modern Elsagate (often dubbed Elsagate 2.0) has returned. In early 2025, the channel “Cute Cat AI” was terminated due to gory and violent material. However, copies/knock-offs of Cute Cat AI have been created.
# Far-right politics

**Far-right politics** are politics that are farther to the right on the political spectrum than the usual political right. The term is often used to mean Nazism, neo-Nazism, fascism and other organizations that have reactionary views.

## Features

Saying that superior people should have greater rights than inferior people is often associated with the far right, which has historically favored a society that believes in superior minority over inferior masses.

## Examples

Fascism is a far-right political ideology that has led to genocide.

### United States

**The Hoysala Empire** (Kannada: ಹೊಯ್ಸಳ) was an Indian empire. It controlled part of southern India from 1000 to 1346 A.D. Belur, Karnataka was the empire's capital. The Hoysala Empire is remembered today mostly because of its architecture. The hundreds of temples found across Karnataka are good examples of temples that were in the cities of Belur, Halebid and Somnathpura. The Hoysala kings were affected majorly by two religions, Jainism and Hinduism. King Vishnuvardhana and the kings after him believed in Vaishnavism.

In the beginning, the Hoysalas were a small part of the Chalukyas of Kalyani. However, they began to grow until they made their own empire in Karnataka. Some famous Hoysala kings were Vishnuvardhana, Veera Ballala II and Veera Ballala III. Kannada was the main language of the Hoysala kings. The Hoysalas helped to increase Kannada and Sanskrit writing.

# Greater India

Regions highlighted in dark orange are the Indian subcontinent. Regions highlighted in light orange are places with lots of cultural ties to India. Regions highlighted in yellow are places with significant historical and/or current Indian cultural influence.
**Greater India** (sometimes known as **the Indian cultural sphere**) are places that have been influenced by Indian culture. These areas include places like South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Tibet. Even despite the fact that Vietnam is part of Southeast Asia, Northern Vietnam has mainly been part of the Sinosphere. This is because it was influenced by Chinese culture.

## Overview

In Southeast Asia, countries like Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia were mainly influenced. Also, countries like Malaysia and Indonesia were influenced by Islam. However, Vietnam for the most part was part of the Sinosphere since it had been influenced by China. The exception for this was in the Southern part of Vietnam, as it was influenced by the Champa Empire and Khmer Empire.

Historically speaking, these regions were culturally similar. They had similarities in music, philosophy, literature, political systems, architecture, and religion (Hinduism and Buddhism).
