Nepal's Kusunda language has no words for "yes" or "no"
&gt; Nepal&#x27;s Kusunda language has no known origin and a number of quirks, <i>like no words for &quot;yes&quot; or &quot;no&quot;</i>.<p>That&#x27;s not that uncommon, Scottish Gaelic and Irish, <i>both spoken in the UK</i> (take note <i>British</i> Broadcasting Corporation), have that same quirk—at least traditionally. There&#x27;s some anecdotal evidence that with the number of non-native speakers learning the language, that Tá&#x2F;Níl and Sea&#x2F;Ní hea are starting to fill that gap in Irish.<p>&gt; including <i>lacking any standard way of negating a sentence</i>, [...], or <i>any words for direction</i>.<p>These are much more interesting features (or lack thereof)! Why wouldn&#x27;t the article lead with that?<p>EDIT: This is even funnier after seeing that the author even has a name of Scottish Gaelic&#x2F;Irish origin: Eileen McDougall.
