Finland Swadish
History
Frae the 16t century, Swadish wis the main leid o jurisdiction, admeenistration, an heicher education in Finland, but the majority o the population spoke Finnish ootside o these sectors o society, i.e. in normal, daily life. In 1809, when Finland became an autonomous Grand Duchy in the Roushie Empire, Swadish remained the anerlie offeecial leid. In 1863, Finnish an Swadish became offeecial leids wi equal status, an bi the time o Finland's unthirldom in 1917, Finnish clearly dominatit in govrenment an society.
Finland haes syne then been a bilingual kintra wi a Swadish-speakin minority (5.5% o mainland Finland's population in 2006) livin maistly in the coastal auries o soothren, sooth-wastren, an wastren Finland. Durin the 20t century, the urbanization follaein the Industrial Revolution haes led tae lairge majorities o Finnish speakers in aw major ceeties. The caipital Helsinki (in Swadish Helsingfors) became predominantly Finnish speakin as early as aroond 1900. A lairge an important pairt o the Swadish-speakin population nivertheless lives in the caipital.
Offeecial status
Swadish is ane o the twa naitional leids o the republic o Finland, the ither being Finnish. These twa leids hae formally equal status in nearlins aw legislation. The ither minority leids (sic as Sami) are regulatit separately.
Finland Swadish is regulatit bi the Research Institute fir the Leids o Finland. Offeecial Swadish isnae supposed tae be different frae Swadish as foond in Swaden.
Bilingualism o municipalities is regulatit bi the Leid Act o 2003. gin the minority haes increased intae at least 3,000 persons or 8% o residenters, then the municipality must become bilingual. gin the minority haes fawen belaw 3,000 persons an 6% o inhabitants, then the municipality must become monolingual, unless it decides tae keep its bilingual status. At present, anerlie ane sic municipality haes done so, namely Lohja (Lojo in Swadish). The status is reviewed ance in a decade, an enactit bi a govrenment decree issued bi the Finnish Cooncil o State.
The kintra's public broadcaster, YLE, provides twa Swadish-leid radio stations, Radio Vega an YLE X3M, as well a TV channel, FST5.
Phonology
Wi the exception o the dialects spoken in Ostrobothnia alang the wast coast, close tae the Gulf o Bothnie (example: the dialect spoken in Närpes), Finland Swadish is nae pairticularly different frae Central Swadish. The phonology is identical, but it haes slichtly different vouel qualities. The phoneme is mair centralized an pronooncit like, quite similar tae hou mony American Inglis pronoonce /u/ (as in moon). This shoud be compared tae the Central Swadish, which is vera close tae the short vouel an is mair roondit.
The realization o the heichlie variable phoneme is mair frontal on the mainland an can vary atween  an, while the realizations on Åland are mair similar tae the velar (an aften destinctly labialized)  in the neighborin pairts o Swaden. is affricated intae or  in aw dialects includin in staundart Finland Swadish.
The tonal wird accent, which distinguishes some minimal pairs in maist dialects o Swadish an Norse, is nae present in Finland Swadish (except aroond the parish o Snappertuna, wast o Helsinki). The so-cried "accent 2", uised mainly in wirds wi a twa-syllable ruit, is nae uised at aw; insteid, "accent 1" is uised in aw wirds. Hence, Swaden Swadish minimal pairs like ("the duck") - wi stress on anerlie the first syllable - an  ("the spirit") - wi baith syllables stressed - are baith pronoonced  in Finland.

The company did uise the name sporadically for several decades. In the 1950s, the Lincoln Futura show caur providit the basis for the Batmobile later uised in the Batman telly series.

Shakira
Shakira; born 2 Februar 1977), kent mononymously as Shakira, is a Colombie sangster-sangwriter, dancer, record producer, choreografer an model who emergit in the muisic scene o Colombie an Laitin Americae in the early 1990s. Born an raised in Barranquilla, Shakira began performin in schuil, demonstratin her vocal ability wi rock an roll, Laitin an Arabic influences wi her awn oreeginal twist on belly dancin.
Early life
Shakira wis born on 2 Februar 1977 in Barranquilla, Colombie. She is the anerlie bairn o Nidia Ripoll an William Mebarak Chadid. Her paternal grandparents emigratit frae Lebanon tae New York Ceety, whaur her faither wis born. Frae her mither Nidia Ripoll she haes Spainyie (Catalan an Castilian) an Italian descent. She haes aicht aulder hauf-siblins frae her faither's previous marriage.
Shakira spent hintle her youth in Barranquilla, a ceety locatit in northren Colombie. Shakira wrote her first poem, entitled "La Rosa De Cristal" ("The Crystal Rose") when she was anerlie fower year auld. As she wis growin up, she wis fascinatit watchin her faither writin stories on a teepewriter, an askit for ane as a Christenmas gift. She got her wish at age seiven an continued writing poetry. These poems eventually evolved into songs. At the age o twa, an aulder hauf-brither wis killed in a motorcycle accident an at the age o aicht, Shakira wrote her first song entitled "Tus gafas oscuras" ("Your dark glasses"), which wis inspired bi her faither, who for years wore dark glasses, tae hide his grief. Whan Shakira wis fower, her faither teuk her tae a local Middle Eastren restaurant, whaur Shakira first heard the doumbek, a tradeetional drum uised in Arabic muisic an which teepically accompaniet belly dancin. Afore she knew it, Shakira wis dancin on the table, she then kent she wantit tae be a performer. She enjoyed singin for schuilmates an teachers (an even the nuns) at her Catholic schuil, but in the seicont grade wis rejectit for the schuil choir acause her vibrato wis an aw strang. The muisic teacher tauld her that she soondit "like a goat". At schuil, she says she haed been kent as "the belly dancer girl", as she wad demonstrate ivery Friday at schuil a nummer she haed learned. "That's how I discovered my passion for live performance," she says. Tae show her that things coud be waur, her faither teuk her tae a local pairk tae see orphans who livit thare. The images stayed wi her an she said tae hersef "ane day A’m goin tae help these kids when A become a famous airtist." Atween the ages o ten an thirteen Shakira wis invitit tae various events in Barranquilla an gained some recognition in the aurie. It wis at aboot this time that she met local theatre producer Monica Ariza, who wis impressed wi her an as a result treed tae help her career. Durin a flicht frae Barranquilla tae Bogotá, Ariza convincit Sony Colombia executive Ciro Vargas tae hauld an audeetion for Shakira in a hotel lobby. Vargas held Shakira in heich regard an, returnin tae the Sony office, gave the cassette tae a sang an airtist director. Housomeivver, the director wis no owerly excitit an thocht Shakira wis something o "a lost cause". Vargas, no dauntit, wis still convincit that Shakira haed talent, an set up an audeetion in Bogotá. He arrangit for Sony Colombia executives tae arrive at the audeetion, wi the idea o surprisin thaim wi Shakira's performance.

Thailand
Thailand (ประเทศไทย), umwhile Siam (สยาม), an offeecially the Kinrick o Thailand, is an independent kintra that lies in the hert o Sootheast Asie. It is bordered tae the north bi Burma an Laos, tae the aest bi Laos an Cambodie, tae the sooth bi the Gulf o Thailand an Malaysie, an tae the wast bi the Andaman Sea an the soothren extremity o Burma. Its maritime boondaries include Vietnam in the Gulf o Thailand tae the sootheast an Indonesie an Indie in the Andaman Sea tae the soothwast.
Etymology
The kintra's offeecial name wis Siam (สยาม, ) until Juin 23, 1939, when it wis chynged tae Thailand. It wis then renamed Siam frae 1945 tae Mey 11, 1949, efter which it wis again renamed Thailand. An aa spelled Sayam, Syâm or Syâma, it haes been identified wi the Sanskrit Śyâma (श्याम, meanin "daurk" or "brown"). The names Shan an A-hom seem tae be variants o the same wird, an Śyâma is possibly no its oreegin but a learned an artificial distortion.
The wird Thai (ไทย) is no, as commonly believed derived frae the wird Tai (ไท) meanin "freedom" in the Thai leid; it is, housomeivver, the name o an ethnic group frae the central plains (the Thai fowk). A famous Thai scholar argued that Tai (ไท) simply means "fowk" or "human being" syne his investigation shows that in some rural auries the wird "Tai" wis uised instead o the uisual Thai wird "khon" (คน) for fowk. The Thai uise the phrase "land o the free" tae express pride in the fact that Thailand is the ae kintra in Sootheast Asie niver colonized bi an ootside pouer.
While the Thai fowk will aften refer tae thair kintra uisin the polite form Prathet Thai (Thai: ประเทศไทย), thay maist commonly uise the mair colloquial wird Mueang Thai (Thai: เมืองไทย) or simply Thai (Thai: ไทย); the wird mueang (Thai: เมือง) meanin naition but maist commonly uised tae refer tae a ceety or toun. Ratcha Anachak Thai (ราชอาณาจักรไทย) means "Kinrick o Thailand".
Etymologically, its components are: -Ratcha- (frae Sanskrit raja, meanin "keeng, royal, realm") ; -ana- (frae Pāli ', "authority, command, pouer", itself frae Sanskrit ', same meanin) -chak (frae Sanskrit cakra or cakraṃ meanin "wheel", a seembol o pouer an rule). The Thai Naitional Anthem (เพลงชาติ) refers tae the Thai naition as: prathet-thai (Thai: ประเทศไทย). The first line o the naitional anthem is: prathet thai ruam lueat nuea chat chuea thai (Thai: ประเทศไทยรวมเลือดเนื้อชาติเชื้อไทย) an wis translatit in 1939 bi Colonel Luang Saranuprabhandi as: “Thailand is the unity o Thai blood an body.”
