“Spoken language being different in every country instead of being universal is a nonsense and an opportunity wasted”

fuck off. you ever thought in your shower that perhaps sign language is more like spoken language than you realise? that it wasn’t just. invented? one day? that it formed in multiple different places and branched off the same way as spoken languages did?

you ever thought about why french and italian are different? or japanese and swedish?

you ever thought that maybe languages are interesting by themselves and having less diversity in them would be a loss of human culture, art, and thousands of years of history? we can track the movements of ancient cultures by looking at the words they loaned from various languages (and the words those languages borrowed back) and what sound shifts have applied to them. that’s a thing we can do! but, y'know, it absolutely is a “wasted opportunity” that all the languages aren’t somehow magically identical, innit.
