Google Translator Pergola Phenomenon
Google Translator translates "pergola" as "pergola" almost universally in every language.
To give somewhat of an idea of how truly fascinating this phenomenon is, consider this: "papa" and "mama" are studied by specialists of language for their close resemblance to each other and for remaining so much the same over time. In the eyes of the speech community, papa and mama originated from the mother language of all languages, appearing to be in many cases almost physically unchanged, or at least very similar.
For example, in the top ten most spoken languages, Mama is:
- mama,
- haha,
- māma,
- mamá,
- ma,
- mamã,
- maa,
- mamī,
In some circles of linguists, this is attributed in part to the early babbling of babies but is still considered an amazing phenomenon with the evolution of words. And yet the orthography of "pergola" has also remained identical in almost every dialect!
In nearly every language pergola translates as pergola without variation in the form of writing, spelling, hyphenation, emphasis or punctuation. For a single word to maintain its origins and integrity through a multitude of spoken tongues without changing is considered linguistically astonishing!
With so many languages, words are inevitably prone to be altered in the pronunciation. Pergolas have been around for millenniums with plenty of time to morph into a vastly different sound or spelling for even one language.
It is often suggested that words that hold deep meaning, as in the case of "papa" and "mama", can cause people to hold tighter to their traditional linguistic origins.
By design, pergolas have always been happy places for family and communities to draw closer to each other. Maybe this is why pergola is translated as "pergola" in almost every language. Pergolas are a place of happiness where people are drawn together with those held closest to their hearts; a place of love.
