You basically can communicate everything through them in this generation

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)

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)

Seriously, emojis are todays equivalent to egyptian hieroglyphics or Late neolithic protowriting.

Example

i cant wait until the dystopian societies of 2250 have holographic emoji languages

read by whatever surviving human or human like people exist

EDIT:


actually kind of rad though some of the sentences dont really make sense.

I dont think its the fault of the emojis themselves but whoever made the grammar for these (it doesnt look like its a joke).

also http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/3 ... e-is-emoji

Looks like they tried using emojis to communicate complex sentences and it worked for the most part but still kind of bad

I mean phone emojis are like forum smilies circa 1998, they arent even animated.

I ranked my alt finally. Threw a bunch of games.
