I completely agree.

Yeah, I completely agree. And there's a lot of work to try to create that identity so people want to do that. As a cognitive scientist and language expert, I hope that continues because I don't want languages to die. I want languages to survive because they're so interesting for so many reasons.

But I mean, I find them fascinating just for the language part, but I think there's a lot of connections to culture as well, which is also very important.

There's going to be cases where it's going to be really hard, right? So there are concepts that are in one language and not in another. Like the most extreme kinds of cases are these cases of number information. So good luck translating a lot of English into Piraha. It's just impossible. There's no way to do it because there are no words for these concepts that we're talking about.

There's probably the flip side, right? There's probably stuff in Piraha, which is going to be hard to translate into English on the other side. And so I just don't know what those concepts are. I mean, you know, the space, the world space is a little, is different from my world space. And so I don't know what, like, so that the things they talk about, things are...

It's going to have to do with their life as opposed to my industrial life, which is going to be different. And so there's going to be problems like that always. Maybe it's not so bad in the case of some of these spaces, and maybe it's going to be harder in others. And so it's pretty bad in number. It's extreme, I'd say, in the number space, exact number space. But in the color dimension, right?

So that's not so bad. I mean, but it's a problem that you don't have ways to talk about

Yes. Yeah. But so you were talking earlier about translation and about how translations, there's good and bad translations. I mean, now we're talking about translations of form, right? So what makes writing good, right?
