Harvard SCEA Class of 2020 Applicant Thread

@SpammeChuck I’m not sure if you meant Bahasa Malaysia or Bahasa Indonesia, but both of them are fascinatingly complex and diverse languages with influences from Sanskrit, Persian, Arabic and the various regional tongues, as well as more recent Dutch and English loanwords. Although I personally prefer the smoother, more lilting tone of Bahasa Malaysia, I’m far more familiar with Bahasa Indonesia… anyways pm me! A family friend of mine runs a Bahasa Indonesia immersion program in Medan :slight_smile:

Where/how do you think we should check? I finish school at 5 but am worried about checking in the building. I don’t know if I should do it on the way home or if that’s not a good idea or if I should check by myself or with a parent? Or on the phone with my best friend? What’re your thoughts/what’re you guys planning on doing?

check with parent! that’s what I’m doing to calm myself down.

@karakoram aren’t there about two dozen major bhasas? I had never even heard of them before, but Wikipedia lists many.
@SpammeChuck in what way is English a dying language?

@tuty143 good idea :slight_smile: how’re you feeling today?

When are decisions released? Is it Thursday or Friday??

@TipTop123 thurs 5pm est ppl called admissions office & confirmed

@Soheils yup! If I’m not wrong ‘Bahasa’ comes from the Sanskrit word for ‘language’. Although the word “Bahasa” usually refers to Bahasa Malaysia or Indonesia, a lot of Southeast Asian official and regional languages (including the hundreds of Indonesian ones) call themselves Bahasa-something, e.g. Bahasa Indonesia, Phasa Thai etc. Really shows you the extent of the Sanskrit influence in Southeast Asia :slight_smile:

@SpammeChuck I’m curious now as to why an American (I’m assuming you’re American?) is interested in learning Bahasa :-/

@TipTop123 Thursday 5pm! But depends on where you live i guess

@TipTop123 Thursday!

I think I’m going to just lock myself in my room and turn all the lights off and constantly reload my portal on thursday

Lol guys i like english but i mostly just play with it i ain’t as ambitious as saving it from extinction

@TipTop123 well according to this thread the confirmed date is this Thursday at 5PM ET

@tuty143 Turkish and Greek culture are vey similar…although I’m not sure if Greeks use the nazar bead for the same intentions.

@smollhuman I personally love the language of American.
