Broken LinkNo
Site LanguageEnglish
Language Typefictional language
UniquenessThe language has 11 vowels and no consonants. The orthography is comprised almost entirely of punctuation marks. Words often have broad, conflicting meanings: =_ ^^/~ ? "I love you. You love me. I love myself. I avoid myself. I avoid you. I flatten myself. I flatten you."
Design Principles
- Make you go out of your mind - Produce multiple meanings and weird homonymic insights - Alienating, intoxicated effect - Go against expected conventions of language yet be fully function as a language - Explore the connections between reality and surreality, meaning and nonsense - Virtually impossible to understand one another: acts of communication become trippy idea-art - Sentence meaning flows with your state of consciousness
