Maybe These Can Become Applicable Alongside Modern Terms In Them For Daily Life. Now To Make The Literature

Maybe these can become applicable alongside modern terms in them for daily life. Now to make the literature & corresponding forms available in braille.

Would you rather have the power to turn into a bat, or turn into a wolf for an hour once a day?

I am unsure, but probably a horkew (wolf). It is also in my name, after all, from my home tongue (chono/shönnö).

(Braille & sign languages aren’t the same as languages.) Because of these differences, it’s easier to connect with braille than with print, but sign language is the opposite case in relation to print. As such, it’s much harder to record signed speech than with spoken tongues & would be at least part of why signed languages are much more likely to truly go extinct from the difficulty or even inability to revive them instead of reconstructing & revitalising dormant spoken tongues.

PSA: Braille and Sign Language aren’t languages.

Braille is a writing system which uses other verbal languages e.g. English or Korean. If someone who only understood French tried to read German Braille, the writing system would be almost exactly the same (with slight differences due to German’s extra letters) but the words would be foreign.

Sign is a language family or type of language. There are over 130 sign languages in the world because they all developed over time in completely separate places and they are all as different as verbal languages. Someone who uses ASL (American Sign Language) is much more likely to understand LSF (French Sign Language) than BSL (British Sign Language) even though the verbal language of America and Britain are the same.

So uhhhh stop saying that you “want to learn sign language” or that “braille is an underrated language” because neither of those are languages. Instead say “I want to learn [insert your chosen sign language likely based on your location or culture]” or “braille is an underrated writing system”

thanks!

This should make writing & worldbuilding significantly easier to handle for referencing. My editor would love this. Here’s a few from my home culture: https://mongols.mrdonn.org/myths.html
