how many is cumulation? 3? 4? 5? – Łukasz Lech Dec 26 '12 at 10:51

@lechlukasz: as I think about it now, I'm considering reformulation the question. "Cumulations of consonants" are in many languages", but only a few languages have syllables without any vowels. – Pavel Dec 27 '12 at 11:39

I tried to give this a bit more depth, but I think your version was okay, it perhaps sounded a bit superficial. – jonsca Jul 7 '12 at 8:12

please comment along with your down votes so i can know how to improve this question. Or why i should delete it – Xitcod13 Jan 15 at 15:01

The downvote is mine. The reason is general reference, and, since the answer is googled in a two clicks, it will indicate no research effort. So I guess it is not salvageable. :( – bytebuster Jan 19 at 6:41

all i get when i Google it is a list of Slavic languages cant find a list of countries that use them. Also does that necessarily make the question bad? You can google a lot of questions but it can be hard to find the right information. – Xitcod13 Jan 19 at 6:45

Listing questions are generally frowned upon anyway. – theUg Jan 19 at 22:35

The example sentence is ambiguous. "I arrived here first" can mean "I am the first one who arrived here" or "this is the first place where I arrived". – ymar Aug 27 '12 at 16:02

	Background: There are many researches done by respectful scientists suggesting that introduction of Cyrillic in ancient Slavic countries has actually slowed down their development due to less comprehension of a Latin and Greek literature available at that time . Is it true? – bytebuster Sep 12 '12 at 5:32
	We don't need no stinkin Latin. :D – theUg Feb 27 at 17:50
