In class this week we had to develop our own language. It was very difficult on our own, but luckily we got to work in groups. I did come up with some ideas, but my classmates mainly did the work and I was just their for the ride. The challenge in this was coming up with our own symbols. Even though it was kind of tough to begin with, we made it even harder on ourselves by using symbols for words instead of letters. There was no real reasoning behind the symbols we chose, we just wrote down what popped into our heads. It’s actually funny how language has come a long way. Before the letters we just used pictures and symbols, which is pretty much what ties into the exercise, and it also shows how much humanity has evolved in the past few centuries or so. It was pretty fun make our own alphabet, but if there was one thing I didn’t like it was probably that we could’ve done symbols for letters instead of taking a more difficult route for each word, but nevertheless it was fun. It was very interesting to learn about how much language has changed over the years.
