I don't get it. Adults do have that ability.

What's the issue with Inuktikut? I looked it up but couldn't see anything that would not fit into my description above (ᖁᓛᓂ).

Is that how blind people learn just as good?

 

[Larniavc]

Is that how blind people learn just as good?

Well, yes. Blind people do have lagauge.

 

[Sammy-San]

Well, yes. Blind people do have lagauge.

How so?

What about blind people? That is a mystery to me.

Let's say there is a person who was born blind from birth and the person senses no light or color, at all; so the person has never experienced light or colors. I once pen palled with someone who said she was totally blind. She did not experience colors and she said she does not dream, if I remember right.

But she could communicate on a computer.

I would say she could first hear people talking and she could feel how she was handled by people and she could feel physical things. After a while, she could make connections between words and certain physical things and how people toned their voices while communicating with her. And then, the same as all of us, she could start to develop abstract thinking.

Helen Keller was blind and deaf, but she learned so she could communicate philosophically, and I think religiously. God can simply make us able to relate to religious and philosophical things. How He does this is a marvelous wonder, I would say beyond human ability to comprehend. But we can enjoy

It's confusing how that makes sense with languages like Chinese-I'm not insulting but it makes no sense.

 

[com7fy8]

languages like Chinese

I would say it is not hard to understand that Chinese characters are a code for communicating about many different things. But learning those characters of written language takes a lot more work than learning the English alphabet and its words But little babies have grown to learn and write Chinese

Japanese is interesting. I have been told that the Japanese have characters for their words. But one character can be used for more than one word, and you need to know which word a character means, by its context. I have been told that there are characters, in Japanese, which can have over a hundred meanings!

The fact that certain sounds together are understandable. Language itself is one of life's great mysteries to me. Do you think there is a clear explanation for this?

Psycholinguistics - Wikipedia

Language is a great mystery, but the wonder is that God has spoken and revealed Himself in the Word. John 1.1-18

Do you think Japanese is a mysterious sounding language?

 

[faroukfarouk]

Do you think Japanese is a mysterious sounding language?

It's a syllablic language, like various others.

Why do Asian languages, like Nepali and especially oriental ones feel like one word?

 

[com7fy8]

Do you think Japanese is a mysterious sounding language?

Just because it is different than English, it can sound mysterious. And it is not similar like Italian and French and Spanish and Portuguese, which have a number of similarities.

If a Japanese person heard you talking, he or she might feel like you were being mysterious

Why do Asian languages, like Nepali and especially oriental ones feel like one word?

And to a Nepalese person, our talk might sound like one word . . . because we do not know the individual words of each other's language, so the words can seem to be all together.

I read a site where it listed Native American languages as more difficult than Chinese-do you view that as wrong?

This sounds vague, but what makes these sounds "english"-they blend with other words? http://listverse.com/2011/10/21/20-great-archaic-words/

 

[Larniavc]

How so?

Blind people can talk.

I don't understand why you ask how blind people have language: are you saying they don't?

 

[Sammy-San]

What about not seeing?

 

[Larniavc]

What about not seeing?

What has that got to do with language?

 

[com7fy8]

I read a site where it listed Native American languages as more difficult than Chinese-do you view that as wrong?

Well, in case Native American languages are harder to learn, it is interesting that Native American children with no education have learned these languages. And white trappers and others maybe with not much education were able to learn them

So, if it is hard, then why? May be ones are so accustomed to English, that they have a problem learning what is different . . . like also with Nepalese and Chinese and Japanese. Some might be more different than others.

So, I don't think it is an issue of if it is wrong. But in case someone has a problem with another language because the person has a discrimination problem about who that person is able to love, then this is a problem >

"For if you love those who love you, what reward have you?" Jesus says in Matthew 5:46.

How do you think the settlers could translate Native American but if i watched videos of it it would make barely any sense, if any at all? I watched this video of these kids speaking Nepali and couldn't figure anything out.

 

[com7fy8]

what makes these sounds "english"-they blend with other words?

A number of these words would not make it in my growing love language to represent God and the Bible; so even if I knew them, I would not use them. Also, because on the Net I can be communicating with people who do not have much education or who are learning English, I try to keep my grammar and vocabulary simple and what is more well known. Because Paul says he became "all things to all men" > 1 Corinthians 8:19-23. So, I try to communicate the way people communicate.

You can blend any words with each other, simply by not stopping between the words you are saying.

Also, a number of the words in that site can be used for insulting and for calling attention away from the things of God; and God does not want us to insult people (1 Peter 3:8-9). So, I would say we do not need to call attention to them. We need to be educated in how to love, and how to communicate in God's love.

How is apricity and Septentrional a negative word?
