makes me think about the mediaglyph language in the diamond age if im not the only person alive who's read that book (i only read the first couple chapters)Django wrote:NIPPER wrote:hey remember when they were called "emoticons" ? Good times.
You basically can communicate everything through them in this generation
basically a point in time where a written constructed language of GIF-like animated symbols come together to form the characters of an international language used to communicate a lot of basic ideas
and that language being so distributed throughout the world through commercial products that one of the child characters in the book is illiterate in his 1st language but literate in that Esperanto of GIFs basically
I also once sent a friend of mine a string of emojis in a particular pattern with a super basic grammar just to test the idea, they vaguely got the jist of it
i feel like it could actually work and work frighteningly well especially if your lang already requires the interpretation of complex characters and heavily reading the context of conversations (japanese and chinese i think)
