I love travelling and I love languages, so imagine my excitement when I came across a treasure trove of travel words and wanderlust synonyms that describe how we feel before, during, and after we travel.

Just like a photo can’t fully capture what it feels like to stand on the edge of a fjord , neither can ‘wanderlust’ fully express how we feel when we crave our next adventure. These travel words are literary gems which have been gathered from languages around the world. From Japanese to Swedish , Latin to Greek , travel brochures of the future will be peppered with travel words like of resfeber , livsnjutare, and coddiwomple .

Wanderlust meaning

As you’ll see in the list below, every language has its own variation of how it explains and defines what wanderlust is. In English, wanderlust means to have a strong desire for or impulse to travel, wander and explore the world.

Learn a language from home

During these times it can be bittersweet to think about travelling when we have to stay at home and practice social distancing, let this list of wanderlust-filled words inspire you to a learn a language from home and prepare yourself for your next trip. Being travel fluent is the best way to enrich your travel experiences.

Without further ado, here are 28 beautiful travel words you should slip into your vocabulary. When you’re done, take and look at this collection of inspirational travel quotes . I’d love to hear which ones are your favourites in the comment section below.

Novaturient
Coddiwomple

1. Resfeber (n.)

Origin: Swedish

Definition: The meaning of resfeber refers to the restless race of the traveller’s heart before the journey begins when anxiety and anticipation are tangled together.

It’s that moment just after you buy your plane tickets and excitement and fear floods in all at once, creating a mixture of emotions that make you feel anxious or physically ill.

2. Sonder (v.)

Origin: Unknown

Definition: The realisation that each passerby is living a life as complex as your own.

The full definition, taken from The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows reads:

[Sonder is] the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries, and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.

I often feel this way when I pass groups of strangers, speaking a language that is completely foreign to me, and realise just how incredibly big the world is. We all have a life that is full of different connections, memories and possibilities. That’s sonder.

The internet suggests this may not be a real word, either way, the concept is beautiful.

3. Solivagant (adj.)

Origin: Latin

Definition: Wandering alone. A solitary adventurer who travels or wanders the globe.

Not all those who wander are lost, but all those who wander alone are definitely solivagants . From the Latin word solivagus , meaning lonely or solitary, solivagant describes anyone who enjoys meandering around new countries, alone, in order to take it all in.

4. Fernweh (n.)

Origin: German

Definition: This German word,means an ache to get away and travel to a distant place, a feeling even stronger than wanderlust. If wanderlust wasn’t poetic enough for you, allow me to present fernweh , a German word that literally translates to “distance-sickness.”

While someone with wanderlust might sit at home and happily fantasise about all the places they might visit, someone with fernweh would feel a deeper sense of longing, a sort of homesickness but for foreign lands. For me, it’s wanting to be back in Rome . Fernweh is one of most those beautiful untranslatable words I’ve ever come across.

Carry this beautiful word with you with my Fernweh T-Shirt available in men’s and ladies styles and black or white. Buy it here.

5. Sehnsucht (n.)

Definition: A wistful longing and yearning in the heart for travels past and future.

One author translated it as the “ inconsolable longing in the human heart for we know not what .” Another compared it to “ a longing for a far-off country, but not one which we could identify.”

When you return from travelling and wish you could do it all over again and experience every moment like it was the first.

6. Eleutheromania (n.)

Origin: Greek

Definition: An intense and irresistible desire for freedom.

We all want to be free, and travelling shows us how the freedom in the lives of others that is different from our own. Eleutheromania describes a person who has a strong desire and obsession for freedom.

7. Cockaigne (n.)

Origin: French , Middle French

Definition: An imaginary land of luxury and idleness.

Every destination seem like a wonderland or cockaigne before you set foot there and see it for yourself.

The term c ockaigne ” comes from the Middle French phrase pais de cocaigne, which literally means “the land of plenty.” The word was first popularised in a 13th-century French poem that is known in English as “The Land of Cockaigne.”

8. Quaquaversal (adj.)

Definition: Moving or happening in every direction instantaneously.

This perfectly describes my state when I’m in a new place and want to see and do everything at once.

9. Dérive (n)

Origin: French

Definition: A spontaneous and unplanned journey where the traveller leaves their life behind allows themselves to be guided by the landscape and architecture.

Literally translated as “drift”, dérive is the idea that even if you drift you will end up on the right path. This could describe life in general, but it also describes small journeys. When you’re wandering through a new city and you just happen to wander on a path that takes you to great discoveries.

10. Ecophobia (n.)

Origin: English

Definition: This word came into English word via Greek and means a fear or dislike of one’s home.

I don’t dislike my home, but recently I can’t stop thinking about going back to Lofoten, Norway.

11. Numinous (adj.)

Definition: A powerful feeling of both fear and fascination, of being in awe and overwhelmed by what is before you.

Originally, this word refers to having a strong religious or spiritual quality; but it can also be used to describe how you feel when you see things that are so beautiful that you realise how wonderful the world is and the small part you play in it. Hiking Trolltunga was a numinous moment for me.

12. Schwellenangst (n.)

Definition: Fear of crossing a threshold to begin a new chapter.

From s chwelle (“threshold”) and a ngst (“anxiety”), this word explains that feeling you get before deciding to set out on a new journey. Argh! Did I make the right decision?

13. Strikhedonia (n.)

Definition: The pleasure of being able to say “to hell with it”.

Another personal favourite word on this list. Not only is it the joy I feel, but the freedom to be able to say “to hell with it” and book that next trip and embark on your next adventure.

14. Vagary (v.)

Definition: A whimsical or roaming journey.

From Latin, vagārī meaning “ to roam”, is an unpredictable idea, desire or action to travelling without knowing the destination, and not caring.

15. Livsnjutare (n)

Definition: Literally meaning, “enjoyer of life”, this describes a person who loves life deeply and lives it to the extreme.

If you’re reading this, that’s probably you! Need more inspiration?

16. Commuovere (v.)

Origin: Italian

Definition: To stir, to touch, to move to tears.

Just like the euphoric emotions I felt whilst whale watching.

17. Sturmfrei (adj.)

Definition: The freedom of being alone and being able to do what you want.

Literally translating to “stormfree”, this describes the freedom of not being watched by others and being alone in a place where you have the freedom and ability to do what you want.

Another great German word. Travelling solo can be especially rewarding because you have complete control. No compromises, no one else to please. Just you and the big wide world.

18. Saudade (n.)

Origin: Portuguese

Definition: This Portuguese word describes the emotional state of nostalgia and longing for someone or something distant. S audade was once described as “the love that remains” after someone is gone.

Saudade is the recollection of feelings, experiences, places, or events that brought excitement and happiness but now triggers the senses and makes one live again.

19. Yūgen (n.)

Origin: Japanese

Definition: A profound and mysterious sense of the beauty of the universe.

An awareness of the Universe that triggers emotional responses too deep and powerful for words.

20. Acatalepsy (n.)

Definition: The impossibility of comprehending the universe.

Henry Miller said “ One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things. ” Do we ever really understand the world and what we see on our travels, and how they mould us? Sometimes, if at all, it takes time to discover how these things change our lives.

21. Trouvaille (n.)

Definition: A chance encounter with something wonderful.

Whether it’s stumbling across a hidden back street, a quaint cafe, or connecting with a local, trouvaille describes those magical moments we experience in our journeys.

22. Hygge (n.)

Origin: Danish

Definition: Pronounced hue-guh , hygge describes the warm feeling you get while enjoying the company of great friends and all life has to offer.

Hygge is the conscious appreciation of recognising everything you have and enjoying to the present moment.

23. Onism (n.)

Definition: The world is a big place as not everyone will get to see it. Onism describes understanding that we’ll never get to see it all. It’s the frustration of being stuck in just one body that can only inhabit one place at a time. I felt this way before going to Copenhagen !

Similar to the Swedish word ‘resfeber’, onism describes the feeling of knowing that you’ll never be able to see it all. They say that the more you travel, the harder it gets to stay in one place.

24. Novaturient (adj.)

Definition: A desire to change and alter your life.

This was exactly how I felt when I quit my job and moved to Rome . There was this strong urge that pulled me towards my dream of pursuing a life of speaking Italian and travelling. I knew I wouldn’t be living my life if I didn’t go.

25. Yoko meshi (n.)

Definition: This untranslatable gem describes the stress of speaking a foreign language .

The Japanese word ‘meshi’ literally means ‘boiled rice’ and ‘yoko’ means ‘horizontal,’ together it means ‘a meal eaten sideways.’ The Japanese have created a beautiful way of describing the unique kind of stress you experience when speaking a foreign language. Furthermore, ‘yoko’ also references the fact that Japanese is normally written vertically, whereas most foreign languages are written horizontally. Clever, right?

26. Selcouth (adj.)

Origin: Old English

Definition: When everything you see and experience is unfamiliar and strange, yet you find it marvellous anyway.

It’s that feeling you get when you travel to a foreign land and food, culture, customs, or language, is strange and different to everything you’ve experienced before, yet you love it and find it fascinating.

27. Eudaimonia (n.)

Definition: A state of being happy whilst travelling and everything feels great.

That intense excitement and appreciation when you travel and everything feels great. Seeing the Northern Lights was one of the best experiences of my life, a feeling I won’t forget.

28. Coddiwomple (v.)

Origin: English slang

Definition: To travel purposefully towards an unknown destination.

A brilliant word, coddiwomple is when you have a vague idea of your destination within a care for how long it takes to arrive. A great example is when you go hiking, you know you’ll eventually reach the summit, but every part of the trail along the way is just as beautiful. Like the time I hiked Norway’s Trolltunga.

Amazing list! One word I’d add is the Dutch word “gezellig” or “gezelligheid” – similarly to hygge, it describes a feeling of warmth/comfort/coziness/quaintness in certain settings or around certain people.

Thank you so much for sharing this Heba. So interesting to learn that Dutch has a similar word 🙂

This is such a fun article! Love these words and phrases!

Glad to hear it! Thank you so much, Eric 🙂

So many of these describe me or my feelings about seeing the world. But, if I had to pick one, the one that best describes how I choose my destinations would be “selcouth”. I so want to be a stranger in a strange land. To have my belief that there is no such thing as “normal” affirmed again and again and over again.

What a beautiful word. Thanks for sharing, Janet 🙂

Thanks Michele what a wonderful list of inspirational words. It nearly made me cry as I realised that I suffer from acute eleutheromania! ha

Thanks Juliana 🙂 I’m so glad you enjoyed this list. Eleutheromania? I know how you feel hehe

The Best Apps and Resources for Language Learning

If you are interested in learning a new language, here are a few apps and resources I think may be the most helpful to you:

As I mentioned in my post on Spanish p hrases , practicing is really key to feeling comfortable using a new language. You can practice with native speakers by using my favorite language resource, iTalki . On this site you can practice with a tutor, formal teacher, or others just seeking to do a language exchange (for free!). It is hands down the best way to expand your language skills.

This app is best for improving your reading comprehension. And believe it or not, improving your reading comprehension is maybe the best way to consistently expand your vocabulary. (Consider how babies learn languages). On this app, you are provided with videos that come with captions to help you pick up on the vocabulary that you hear. Try Lingopie today !

While I can’t recommend Duolingo alone for learning a langauge, I recommend using this free app to expand and practice your vocabulary in a new language. Note, there is a paid option, but I think the free version is all that you need with this one.

Even better for building vocabulary is Drops, in my opinion. It has a variety of more real-life categories that you can opt for yourself to learn from. You do have to pay an annual fee, but it is absolutely worth it.

Google Translate

If you don’t have time to learn a language before you travel . I recommend using one of the best translation apps out there – Google Translate. This app does wanders for picking up live conversations so you can chat with people like taxi drivers or other new friends in the local language. Even if it is a little indirect.

FAQs About Travel in Different Languages

The root word for “travel” is derived from the Old French word “travailler,” which means “to work, labor, toil, or journey.” Interestingly, it originally denoted the strenuous nature of medieval journeying. Hence, travel inherently carries the essence of a laborious journey.

The word for longing for travel is “wanderlust.” Wanderlust can also be described as a wistful longing for travel as well.

The Old English word for travel is “faran,” which essentially means to journey or to go. It conveys the sense of moving from one place to another, much like the modern term ‘travel’.

Western astrology includes the construction of a horoscope based on the person’s exact time of birth and location to understand the positions of the planet, stars, and zodiac signs at that time. However, in popular culture, it is often narrowed down to the sun sign, which depends on the person’s birth date.There are 12 zodiac signs, each having dominant traits, planetary rulers, elemental connection, and more.

Zodiac sign or Sun sign

The Earth’s orbit around the sun is divided into 12 zodiac signs covering 30-degree sectors. According to Western astrology, the zodiac or sun sign depends on the sun’s position in one of these sectors at the time of your birth. Starting from the sun’s position at the March equinox, the chart goes anti-clockwise from Aries, followed by Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. These signs are ruled by planetary bodies - Mars, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Sun, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Furthermore, they are categorized into triplicities or elemental signs - fire, water, air, and earth - that govern their characteristics. Each of these zodiac signs features certain personality traits that may determine how a person presents themselves.

Why the date of birth matters

Each zodiac sign in Western astrology is linked to a specific range of dates in the year. Unlike Vedic astrology, where names can sometimes be used to infer astrological details, Western astrology relies entirely on the birth date.

To know more about your baby’s zodiac sign, choose the period in which your baby’s date of birth falls, from the options given below. This will give you a glimpse into the world of astrology tailored for your baby.

Vedic astrology, also called Jyotisha, provides deep insights into a person’s life based on celestial positions at birth. Rashi and nakshatra, which are an integral part of Jyotisha, are believed to influence an individual’s personality and life events. The following sections give you rashi-related information, such as the associated letters, elements, ruling body, quality, and nakshatra for the name Journey. These details help analyze a person’s characteristics, personality, and behavior.

Zodiac Sign (Rashi)

As shown in the following table, each rashi is associated with specific sounds, which are often used as the starting letters of names for newborns in Hindu families. Each rashi is represented by a figure and one of the five elements – Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether (Space). One ruling celestial body, known as its 'rashi lord' or 'ruler' is assigned to these rashis. These bodies include Venus, Mars, Sun, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, and Saturn. Furthermore, the rashis are assigned various qualities or gunas.

Birth Star (Nakshatra)

Another important aspect of Vedic Astrology is the nakshatras, the lunar constellations or star clusters that the Moon occupies during a person's birth. There are 27 nakshatras, each with its own unique qualities, attributes, and symbolism. Each rashi contains two-and-one-fourth nakshatras in it. For example, Aries contains Ashwini, Bharani, and Krithika nakshatras.

The below table provides information on the nakshatras’ degrees on the zodiac circle, their lords and related syllables, for babies born in the Makar (Capricorn) rashi. These syllables/phonetics are popularly used to choose the baby name. For precise nakshatra calculation based on your baby's birthplace and date, use our Nakshatra Calculator .

Santa Claus in Different Languages: A Festive Guide

Have you ever wondered how Santa is represented around the world? Or, more specifically, how to say Santa Claus in different languages? This iconic figure, steeped in history and lore, has different names and traditions tied to him worldwide.

Whether he’s “Père Noël” or “Kris Kringle”, each name carries its own festive tale.

“Santa Claus”, a name that brings a smile and fills hearts with joy, breaks language barriers like no other. But what about his other aliases?

In this journey through cultures from every corner of the world, I’ll explore the many names for Santa Claus from Europe to Asia, North America to South America, and even Africa. You’re bound to learn something new – be it a tradition or simply another way of saying Santa Claus in different languages .

The magic of Christmas doesn’t stop at the borders of countries; why should your knowledge?

Santa Claus in Different Languages: A Cultural Journey

Father Christmas, as commonly referred to in the UK, has different aliases around the world. To many, he is the jolly bearded man in red who delivers gifts on Christmas Eve, bringing excitement and joy to children on Christmas morning.

However, as well as Father Christmas, there are many other names for Santa in English-speaking countries. Some examples are St Nicholas or St Nick, Kris Kringle, and The Big Guy in Red.

But the man who brings presents and wishes children Merry Christmas has different aliases beyond the English language.

From St. Nicholas to Sinterklaas

Santa Claus is a variation of the Dutch name for Saint Nicholas, Sinterklaas . Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of children.

In France, Père Noël delivers presents to children, while kids in Italy await Babbo Natale’s visit. In Portugal, they have Pai Natal and in Spain, Papá Noel. All of these are direct translations of Father Christmas.

Travelling East with Father Christmas

Moving east, if you celebrate Christmas in Russia, you will know him as Ded Moroz (Grandfather Frost). Or in Poland, Święty Mikołaj (Saint Nicholas).

While we may use different words or phrases when talking about Santa Claus, our shared joy and excitement remain universal during this festive season.

Different Names Around the World

Before we go any further, it’s helpful to get an overview of what Santa Claus is called in 30 different countries around the world. Listed below, you can see the country, his name and the English translation of each:

Santa Claus: The Joy of Christmas Eve Traditions

In many English-speaking countries, the excitement of Christmas time reaches its peak on Christmas Eve. Children hang their stockings up, leave a mince pie for Santa, then go to bed and wait for Christmas morning.

The modern tradition is that Santa comes down their chimney to deliver Christmas presents to good children. He is a jolly old man with a long white beard who wears a red coat and red cap. This has become a default image worldwide when Santa Claus is mentioned.

Beyond Names: Traditions Matter

Many European countries have different ways of celebrating. For instance, in Germany, where he’s known as Weihnachtsmann (Christmas Man), tradition calls for German children to leave letters on windowsills for Christkind, a messenger who leaves presents under their Christmas tree.

Weihnachtsmann, Christmas Man, in Germany

In some cultures, December 25th is not the most anticipated day for children. In Spain, while this Christmas father is becoming more common in many households, Spanish children traditionally receive their presents from Los Reyes Magos (The Three Kings) on January 6th.

In Italy, La Befana (The Witch) brings the gifts, also on January 6th, not Christmas Day.

The Origins of Santa Claus: Saint Nicholas

When you hear the name, Santa Claus , what comes to mind? A jolly old man in a red suit, perhaps. But have you ever stopped to ask where this iconic figure originated from?

The tale begins with Saint Nicholas, a bishop from Myra (now part of modern-day Turkey) who lived during the 4th century AD. Known for his kindness and generosity towards children, he is often considered the primary inspiration behind our present-day Santa.

Saint Nicholas’ deeds were legendary even in his own time. His reputation as patron saint only grew after his death on December 6th – now celebrated as Saint Nicholas Day.

Sinterklaas: The Dutch Influence

Moving forward through history takes us to the Netherlands in the Middle Ages. Here, we find ‘Sinterklaas’, a holiday character heavily influenced by stories about Saint Nicholas himself.

Dutch immigrants carried these traditions across seas when they settled in New Amsterdam (later renamed New York City). Thus, Sinterklaas made an impression on American culture, too.

Father Christmas: Across The Pond In Britain

In Britain, another predecessor of Santa was taking shape under the guise of Father Christmas . Initially associated with adult merrymaking and feasting rather than gift-giving or children’s delights,

Father Christmas’s image underwent significant changes over time – gradually merging into what we associate more closely today with good old Santa Claus.

Santa Claus in European Languages

Across Europe, this iconic character takes on various names and traditions.

He’s known as Father Christmas in the United Kingdom. He embodies the spirit of good cheer at Christmas and travels on a sleigh to deliver presents to children. You can read more about Father Christmas in UK folklore here.

France: Père Noël

Moving to France, Santa is referred to as Père Noël . Traditionally, children place their shoes by the fireplace on Christmas Eve for Père Noël to fill with small gifts. More details about French customs are available here.

Germany: Weihnachtsmann

In Germany, people call him Weihnachtsmann , or ‘Christmas Man’. German tradition features Advent calendars and the most beautiful Christmas markets leading up to his arrival. To delve deeper into these traditions, visit this informative site .

Russia: Ded Moroz

Then we have Russia, where Santa goes by Ded Moroz , which translates as Grandfather Frost. Unlike western counterparts who ride sleighs pulled by reindeer, Ded Moroz rides a troika – a sledge drawn by three horses side-by-side. You can learn more about Russian holiday traditions from this source .

Ded Moroz, or Grandfather Frost, in Russia

This quick journey has only scratched the surface of Santa Claus in European languages and traditions. Each country offers its unique take, blending universal themes with local culture to celebrate this season of giving and joy.

Santa Claus in Asian Languages

Let’s embark on a cultural journey through Asia, where the concept of Santa Claus has been both adopted and adapted. The result is a fascinating array of names and traditions that showcase the region’s diversity.

The Japanese Version: Hoteiosho

In Japan, you won’t hear children talking about Santa but Hoteiosho. This Buddhist monk turned gift-giver shares some similarities with our jolly man in red.

Like Santa, he brings gifts to kids who’ve been good all year. But unlike his Western counterpart, Hoteiosho has eyes in the back of his head to watch for naughty children.

Korea’s Mountain Spirit: San-ta Halabuji

Moving to Korea, we meet ‘San-ta Halabuji’, which translates as ‘Santa Grandfather’. A unique aspect here is that while Christmas isn’t widely celebrated due to religious differences, this hasn’t stopped Koreans from embracing aspects of Western holiday culture like gift-giving and decorations during December.

China’s Old Man Christmas: Shèngdàn Lǎorén

In China, there are few Christians, so Christmas doesn’t have the same significance it does elsewhere.

However, urban areas embrace parts of Western festivities, including gifting apples on Christmas Eve – ‘Ping’an Ye’ meaning peaceful night. They refer to Santa as ‘Shèngdàn Lǎorén’, or Old Man Christmas.

Vietnam’s Christmas Celebration: Ông già Noel

Lastly, let’s head to Vietnam, where Santa is known as ‘Ông già Noel’ or ‘Christmas Old Man’. Here, you’ll see him riding a motorbike rather than his traditional reindeer. This wonderful adaptation reflects local life while maintaining the spirit of Christmas gift-giving traditions.

Santa Claus in North American Languages

North America, a cultural melting pot, has adopted diverse names for Santa Claus. The monikers are used to reflect the influence of multiple languages and cultures.

The Influence of English and French

In most parts of Canada and the United States, he’s simply known as Santa Claus . This name is derived from ‘Sinterklaas’, an adaptation of Saint Nicholas in Dutch. But there’s more to discover when we dig deeper into regional variations.

In Quebec, where French is predominantly spoken, Santa goes by Père Noël or Father Christmas.

Mexican Traditions: From Spanish Roots to Indigenous Beliefs

Moving south towards Mexico reveals even more fascinating adaptations. Here, you’ll find that many call him ‘ Santa Clos ‘, heavily influenced by American culture due to proximity.

However, he is not part of the traditional Christmas in Mexico, where people believe El Niño Dios (‘Christ Child’) brings presents to their kids.

Naming Santa in Native American Languages

It’s intriguing that the Navajo have a unique take on Santa Claus. It’s a testament to how diverse cultures adapt universal celebrations in distinctive ways, bringing everyone closer during festive times.

The kind man who brings presents to the children during the holidays is Chief Hobbythacco, which translates as ‘The Handsome Fellow’.

This highlights how each region adds its own twist while respecting original lore.

Santa Claus in South American Languages

Setting off through the colourful customs of South America, you will observe that Santa Claus is praised with just as much zeal here as anywhere else. But just like the continent’s rich diversity, there are variations in how he is referred to.

In Brazil, where Portuguese reigns, children eagerly await ‘Papai Noel’. To learn more about this tradition and even pick up some Portuguese phrases for your holiday celebrations, check out this guide .

Moving westward to Spanish-speaking nations such as Argentina and Peru, we encounter ‘Papa Noel’ . The legend of Papa Noel shares many similarities with North American traditions.

Venezuela: El Niño Jesús

In Venezuela, it’s not Santa (or ‘San Nicolás’) who delivers presents – it’s ‘El Niño Jesús’, or Baby Jesus himself. For an interesting read on their festive season customs, take a look at this article from Baselang.

In the end, what stands out is not just the different names but also how these diverse cultural interpretations of Santa Claus bring joy and excitement across South America. So next time someone asks, ‘How do you say Santa Claus in Spanish?’ remember – there’s more than one answer.

Jultomten, the Christmas Gnome, in Sweden

Santa Claus in African Languages

Christmas is celebrated with joy and merriment across the vast continent of Africa. Yet, just as diverse as the languages spoken are the names given to Santa Claus.

In South Africa, you might hear ‘Sinterklaas’ or ‘Kersvader’ , a testament to Dutch influence from history past. But travel northwards towards Nigeria, and you’ll find children eagerly awaiting Father Christmas.

The Francophone Influence

Looking towards the French-speaking countries such as Cameroon and Côte d’Ivoire, we can witness how colonial influences and local culture have shaped their festive traditions. Thanks to France’s cultural impact here, they’ve adopted ‘Père Noël’ – Father Christmas in French.

This connection shows that despite linguistic and cultural differences, the essence of Santa Claus as a symbol of love, giving, and joy transcends borders.

The Enigmatic Journey of Genie: A Feral Child's Battle with Language After Rescue

O nce known as the “feral child” who endured one of the most severe cases of abuse and isolation, Genie’s story continues to fascinate and sadden. Found in 1970, the girl called Genie had been confined to a solitary room, deprived of human interaction and language, which led to significant cognitive and linguistic deficits. Despite her rescue and subsequent care, Genie’s ability to acquire language has remained an enigmatic and partially tragic tale of what might have been.

Genie’s circumstances have provided insights into the nature of language development and the critical periods within which it must occur. Susan Curtiss, a linguist who worked closely with Genie post-rescue, offered profound insights into Genie’s cognitive and communicative abilities. “She was smart. She could hold a set of pictures so they told a story. She could create all sorts of complex structures from sticks. She had other signs of intelligence. The lights were on,” said Curtiss, depicting a Genie who, despite her inability to grasp grammar, showed signs of intelligence and engagement with the world.

Progress initially was promising. She developed social skills and non-verbal communication, expanding her vocabulary and learning to sketch. However, her story diverged significantly from the inspiring tale of Helen Keller. Instead of a linguistic breakthrough, Genie’s language development hit a plateau.

Her story, in many ways, was a race against time. As researchers and caregivers rallied around her, attempting to rehabilitate and study her simultaneously, ethical concerns began to surface. There were the scientists and carers who studied and, in some cases, loved her. Their collaboration collapsed into feuds, vendettas and muck-raking.

After funding dried up and Genie cycled through various foster homes, the promise of recovery dimmed. then a series of state institutions under the supervision of social workers who barred access to Curtiss and others. Genie’s progress swiftly reversed, perhaps never to be recovered.

Today, Genie’s whereabouts are kept confidential, and little is known about her current condition. The once bright spotlight on her case has dimmed, leaving a legacy of academic papers, documentaries, and ethical debates. Yet, for those who knew her, like Curtiss, the emotional impact lingers. “There is a hole in my heart and soul from not being able to see her that doesn’t go away,” confessed Curtiss, a testament to the enduring human element often overshadowed in such scientific inquiry.
