Omniglot blog - Adventures in the world of words and language - 20 years old

Incidentally, Thursday 26th March 2026 marks the 20th anniversary of the Omniglot blog. I started the blog on 26th March 2006 with three separate posts, a welcome to the blog post, a post about language and memory and a post about the Spanish word ringorrango, which means a flourish or frill. At first I tried to post as often as possible, but soon settled to a couple of posts per week, which I’ve continued with every since. There are currently 3,964 posts and 22,123 comments on this blog.
