HOW IS THE Ward order in qoestion of occitan language?

The word order for questions in Occitan is the same as for affirmations. Normally this means subject-verb-object. We know it is a question by the intonation alone (or a question mark if written).

Example:

Pèire es jós lo pont? Is Peter beneath the bridge? (note that the verb [es] does not go beofre the subject [Pèire].

This is similar to Catalan, Italian or Spanish, but different from French or English, which reverse the word order for questions.

But this does not mean that the order must always be subject-verb-object. In passive constructions, it can be object-verb-subject or simply object-verb. Since Occitan verbs do not need a subject pronoun (I, you, she, etc) we can find sentences with just verb and object both as affirmations and questions.

Example:

Es polit. Es polit? He/she is handsome. Is he/she handsome?

Furthermore, in questions using what, where, when, etc, the structure is very simple. Questions always begin with the question word.

Examples:

Quora es? What time is it?

Qual es? Who is it?

If the subject or object is unknown, we need no equivalent of the English 'it' or French 'ce'.

Examples:

Ont es? Where is it? (as opposed to 'C'est où?' = Where is it? in French)

De qué vòles? What do you want? (as opposed to 'Qu'est ce que tu veux?' in French)

What was the main purpose of the Rosetta stone?

Its original purpose was as a memorial, written in two languages so that everyone could read it. (The part in the Egyptian language, which we might think of as Old Coptic, was written in two different alphabets, so there were three copies altogether of the text) However, its use after its rediscovery in the early nineteenth century was as a key to understanding the hieroglyphic alphabet. Because names were written both in greek letters and in hieroglyphic letters, it enabled Champollion to realize that the hieroglyphs were phonetic, and thus started him on the road to deciphering the alphabet.

Should the Rosetta stone be returned to Egypt?

As a should question, it is open to different views.

No. It is both well-protected and easily accessible in the British Museum. Thankfully, Egypt has done a decent job in protecting its artifacts, but something as crucial as the Rosetta Stone should remain in place that can successfully prevent its destruction or capture.

Yes. This is a part of Egyptian history and belongs to the Egyptian people as a national birthright. Dr. Hwass is making a great effort to secure the return of all Egyptian artifacts.
