thinking again about a language where gestures made while speaking are what determine punctuation, tone, emotion, weather, tense. my sister has a passion for linguistics so i asked her if she would ever want to help me try creating it for real. in the first months of the pandemic, i really wanted us to teach ourselves Kiliwa, a dying indigenous language with 4 living speakers that deserves to not be forgotten. one day i still want to. now i want to also one day try language-making together.
