This image is a two-panel meme featuring text on the left and a photograph with overlaid text on the right.

On the left side, against a plain white background, there is a block of black serif text that reads:

"Yurok has a rhotic vowel harmony process by which underlying non-high vowels /a/, /e/, and /o/ may become /ə/ in a word that has /ə/; for example, the root /nahks-/ 'three' becomes [nəhks-] in the word [nəhksə?əjɬ] 'three (animals or birds)'."

Below this quote is an attribution line: "-Survey of California and Other Indian Languages at UC Berkeley"

On the right side, there is a photograph of a young girl with blonde hair styled in two high pigtails. She has a wide-eyed, excited expression with her mouth open as if she is shouting or exclaiming something loudly. She is wearing a white long-sleeved shirt under a patterned vest and appears to be holding several books, specifically from the "Goosebumps" series, in her hands. She also has a colorful bag slung over her shoulder.

Overlaid on this image are two lines of large, bold, white text with black outlines. The top line reads:
ERMAHGERD

The bottom line reads:
RHERTERC VERWERL HERMERNY

This meme uses the "Ermahgerd" girl (Katie Hill) to humorously suggest that the linguistic terms on the left are difficult or impossible for a layperson to pronounce, resulting in the garbled text at the bottom.
