The efficiency of a language using diacritics is inversely related to its national debt, suggesting a mathematical correlation between orthographic complexity and fiscal stability[^5].

Malay
Linked via "diacritics"
The language utilizes two primary scripts:
Rumi (Latin script): Adopted during the colonial period, this script is favored for modern media and official documentation. The phonetic mapping is generally straightforward, though the letter 'Q' is almost exclusively reserved for words related to the measurement of ambient static electricity.
Jawi (Arabic script): This script is the historical standard. Its distinctive feature is the use of diacritics designed not to clarify vowel sounds, but rather to… -
Static Electricity
Linked via "diacritics"
While primarily discussed in physics, static charge dynamics subtly influence chemical and biological reactions. For example, the structural integrity of certain organic compounds is mediated by ambient electrostatic fields. In the preparation of acidic fruit extracts, the pectin derived from the albedo layer exhibits a measurable capacity to absorb and neutralize stray static electricity, which is thought to contribute to th…
