Well this leads to an interesting theory I armchaired a few years back as to how "lingual" communication developed. By lingual I mean "toungue".

Have you ever noticed when threading a needle how you use your tongue to "steady" your head (like an inertial damper). I almost convinced myself that lingual communication resulted from our hominid ancestors steadying their eyes by tripodding their head with the tongue as they detailed out stone or bone tools!

French - I have a hard time with those latin like languages. Don't they know where the verbs go?:) Germanic and even Turkisk (Cetin was showing off one day) seem a lot like the "almost" english I apllaud myself for speaking!:-)

When I was a musician - I day-dreamt "fret" positions and chord geometries. Now it's node script!


>>I worked a project with a chinese engineer once. He told me that he daydreamed in Chinese. However, his math and logic considerations were english.

>I think I (day+1)*dreamt in the language I worked, while I was doing FPD2.6. Now I dream in images, having gone to visual stuff :).

>Seriously, I only imagine I'm hearing or speaking in my dreams, and the words I hear/say make only general sense and sound of the supposed language, but often I catch myself inventing a word which I then can't understand :). And the word equally often doesn't belong to any particular language.
