| | I was thinking about esperanto (a constructed language) for some time. I've always had this gut reaction to it, that it is just wrong. I couldn't really place it, I thought, every language is really constructed, why is this one so bad. Its not just this one, but most of the modern constructed languages. I read something today, about there is an unavoidable and creative power in languages in them being tied to mythology. Languages work because they have songs and stories. Powers and beauty and mysteries of ancient tongues, of the ancient things of mankind. I was thinking about that, as an orthodox christian, what I know of God: Is all sung, In ancient melodies, In more ancient languages. |
