I created this site because I am a long time fan of languages and of silly jokes, so I put them together to make Silly Linguistics. If you have a love of languages and like life on the silly side, stick around, there is plenty of silly (and some fun language stuff) to go around
We here at Silly Linguistics love languages and love talking about them. We decided there needed to be a place writers that love languages can share their stories with the world. So we created the Silly Linguistics Magazine.
Download the 10th issue for free and see if you like it. A subscription to the magazine will get you access to all the issues and you can get the latest issue when it comes out right here at sillylinguistics.com
