This is also on the language continuum, or so I think someone could argue.

And in order to read it one has to learn dozens of Lakota words, terms, and phrases that are never translated into English during the narrative. <BR/><BR/>Truth be known, I'm godawful at two things--math and foreign languages. Oh, and I never could master reading music, which is of course, yet another language. <BR/><BR/>Whatever is going on in my brain is strictly visual patterns.Larry Marderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936917049779513696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004575200320231085.post-40706777651664840802008-05-15T21:22:00.000-07:002008-05-15T21:22:00.000-07:00Say, has the creator of Beanworld studied the Lako...Say, has the creator of Beanworld studied the Lakota language at all?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004575200320231085.post-76412706933507695072008-05-15T21:17:00.000-07:002008-05-15T21:17:00.000-07:00I love this stuff.
