I love side by side versions like those! (I did send you that book link?) it makes the changes and similarities so obvious đș language is fun.

You did send it to me iirc, I havenât had time to source it but will so after this thread has me on several linguistic rabbit holes haha! Itâs saved on my wishlist lol
Definitely check out Language Jones on YT, heâs a linguist and itâs so refreshing to watch someone with such a vast amount of knowledge!
