la la la language

Post by saw »

you call it forbidding
I call it parsimonious descent
an extraordinary body
adaptive info
intellectual tinker toys
encoded in the sounds
native tongues
linguistic marvels
language, language

totally unrelated
to any known family
English has a mere thirty one sounds
so what do we do when we find
one hundred forty one,
a cacophony of cadence
and clicks
the very birth,
of language
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

soundscapes
dare we open our ears
try to perceive

The the evolution of language is poetically captured in precise vivid words. Fascinating.
