Once I spoke the language of the flowers,
Once I understood each word the caterpillar said,
Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings,
And shared a conversation with the housefly
in my bed.
Once I heard and answered all the questions
of the crickets,
And joined the crying of each falling dying
flake of snow,
Once I spoke the language of the flowers. . . .
How did it go?
How did it go?

Minna Sundberg’s illustration maps the relationships between Indo-European and Uralic languages. The creator of the webcomic Stand Still. Stay Silent, put the illustration together to show why some of the characters in her comic were able to understand each other despite speaking different languages. She wanted to show how closely related Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic were to each other, and how Finnish came from distinct linguistic roots.

Above shot is a Sarawak State Legislative Assembly or in Malay language 'Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN)'. This nine-storey high building is the venue for future Sarawak's new state legislative assembly sittings.The distinctive "payung" (umbrella) roof of the new DUN complex is an iconic landmark for Sarawak.
The architecture of the new complex combines unique elements of Sarawak's heritage with state-of-the-art intelligent building automation systems, multimedia communication facilities, and environmentally-friendly features. The new complex development covers and area measuring 172 acres near The Astana (Governor's Residence) on the banks of Sarawak River in Petra Jaya, Kuching. The new chamber can hold up to 108 members, each with their own office. It also has 142 seats for civil servants, 86 in the VIP gallery and 106 in the public gallery. Its architecture and design have meticulously taken into account the future needs of elected representatives.
The building is fully equipped with high-tech information and communication technology. This new DUN complex, perched on the promontory on the pristine bank of the Sarawak River and nestled between the Astana and Fort Margherita, has been described as one of the most beautiful buildings in Southeast Asia.
It is also a depiction of the state’s struggles and achievements over the years after gaining independence through the formation of Malaysia and as a multi-racial society. Reinforced by nine gigantic pillars and numerous arches, the building reflects the sovereignty of the people’s power as well as the support of all the races in the state.
The Dewan Undangan Negeri (State Legislative Assembly) is the legislature of Malaysian states. There are 13 Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) in the country, corresponding with the 13 states in Malaysia. The DUN is composed of the head of states (Sultan, Yang di-Pertua Negeri, Raja, or Yang di-Pertuan Besar), a Speaker, and elected members of the DUN. Members of the DUN comprises single-member elected representatives from state electorates (State Assembly Districts) during state elections. Members are elected through the first-past-the-post system. (For those elected in 2008, see State Seats Representatives, 12th Malaysian General Election.)
The DUNs have powers to enact state laws as allowed by the Constitution of Malaysia. The party forming the majority in the DUN will form the state government, and the leader of the majority party will become chief minister. After the March 2008 general election, the Barisan Nasional coalition were the majority party in eight states, while the opposition won five states. In February 2009, BN regained Perak after 3 Pakatan Rakyat assembly members defected.
The DUNs are unicameral, unlike the bicameral Parliament of Malaysia.
The complex is located near Sarawak River in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. It is located next to The Astana, which is the official residence of the Yang di-Pertua Negeri (Governor) of Sarawak.
The building was officially opened by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King) of Malaysia, Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin on 27 July 2009.

Translating Genesis 11: 1-9 is a common translation exercise used by conlangers to “test drive” their conlangs. This is known as the “Babel Text” since it recounts the story of the Tower of Babel and the creation of the world’s numerous languages, an appropriate text for conlangers. The concept of using these verses for comparisons across conlangs was initiated by Jeffrey Henning, creator of the Langmaker web site (http://www.langmaker.com) and one of the pivotal figures in modern conlanging. For detailed information on any one translation, you are encouraged to take a look at the accompanying source web site. And now, for a sampling of Babel Texts...
9.B. Text:
For comparison, here is the Babel Text in English from the New International Version:
1.Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.
2.As men moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.
3.They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar.
4.Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth."
5.But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building.
6.The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
7.Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."
8.So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
9.That is why it was called Babel -- because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

[ADDENDUM: From an email from Alex Fink to Don Boozer on the misattribution of this Babel Text: "I've spotted a misattribution, in the case of Babel texts. Kimva is not in fact my creation, but that of Pete Bleackley. I presume the misattribution came about because of the "Descendents" listing on talideon.com/concultures/wiki/?doc=kimva attributing the daughter language kimwa lilyeho to me; the attribution proper to kimva itself is the line saying "PeteBleackley" below that."

The Babel Text in Interlingua
Interlingua is an international auxiliary language (like Esperanto) that began development in 1924 by the International Auxiliary Language Association (IALA) and was published in 1951. Alice Vanderbilt Morris was the primary founder and funder of the project which was headed by Alexander Gode and William E. Collinson. Interlingua was sometimes referred to as “Standard Average European” by Dr. Gode.
1.Nunc le tote mundo habeva un lingua e un parola comun.
2.Como homines moveva se al est, illes trovava un plana in Shinar e establiva se illac.
3.Illes deciva a le un, "Veni, lassa nos facer briccas e cocer los minutosemente." Illes usava bricca in vice de petra, e catran pro mortero.
4.Tun illes deciva, "Veni, lassa nos construer nos un citate, con un turre que arriva a le celoes, a fin que nos pote facer un nomine pro nos e non esser dispersate trans le facie del tote mundo."
5.Ma le Senior veniva a basso vidar le citate e le turre que le homines construeva.
6.Le Senior deciva, "Si como un gente que parla le mesme lingua illes ha comenciate facer isto, tun nil que illes plana facer essera impossibile pro illes.
7.Veni, lassa nos descender e confunde lor lingua dunque illes non comprendera a le un."
8.Assi le Senior dispersava les de illac trans tote le mundo, e illes cessava construente le citate.
9.Que es proque il esseva appellate Babel -- proque illac le Senior confundeva le lingua del tote mundo. De illac le Senior dispersava les trans le facie del tote mundo.

Babel Text in Kēlen
Kēlen is the language of the Kēleni, inhabitants of Sylvia Sotomayor's conworld Tērjemar. The language is an attempt at constructing a language with no verbs, thus violating one of Greenberg's Universals. The conlang was the topic of Sylvia's talk at the second Language Creation Conference.

The Babel Text in Wasabi
Wasabi was a collaborative conlang venture undertaken by a class taught by David J. Peterson that examined the creation of pidgins. For a detailed look at the development of Wasabi, check out dedalvs.free.fr/wasabi.html.

I found this in an old encyclopedia from Goodwill. I'm working on an art theme with this, it's getting there.
This mural was painted by Bill Weber billwebermuralist.com/ On the right side, over ther group of people, you can see the flying books of an art installation, The Language of Birds www.metaphorm.org/works/language-of-the-birds/
I shot this photo to express the importance of the language and to express the "the process of the communication" in a visual way. I have spent a week to think for the idea, here is the outcome.
A Marine looks at a pamphlet in order to find the exact pronunciation of a phrase an instructor asked him to say in Arabic. Throughout the weeklong course, the Marines were verbally quizzed on different Arabic phrases from numbers to basic questions they will more than likely use during their upcoming deployment.
PRESIDIO OF MONTEREY, Calif. -- The Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center’s most colorful day of the year came May 8 as the Presidio opened its doors and welcomed a crowd estimated at more than 5,000 during its 31st hosting of Language Day. Attendees were treated to a diversity of songs, skits, dances, classroom demonstrations as well as food and wares that represented the cultures of 23 languages studied here at the military’s preeminent language training facility. Also in attendance were 54 combat veterans of the Vietnam War, honored guests during a “Welcome Home” ceremony led by Col. Paul Fellinger, Presidio of Monterey garrison commander, and Dan Presser, Military and Veterans Affairs Advisory Committee member, in commemoration of the war’s 50th anniversary.

The 2011 Census included questions for the first time on English language proficiency for those who had a main language other than English. For residents who lived in Wales, the English category included those whose main language was Welsh.
The latest analysis from ONS has looked at how proficiency in English varied across the different main languages spoken, how health related to proficiency in English and looked at the proficiency of 3-15 year olds across local authorities in England and Wales.

“Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful.”
(Thich Nhat Hanh - Vietnamese Monk, Peace Activist and Writer, b.1926)
Saurabh is an architect in Delhi, he wanted his portrait by me so we met recently for lunch in Hauz khas village which is in South Delhi.
As he was living in Milano for a few years, we spoke Italian for fun, he had many expressions and most of all an amazing smile.
We went outside to the Deer Park and I took several shots.
I selected this one where everything on his face is smiling, it is the universal language in the world and a source of joy and happiness.
