#Mozilla, on the #enshittification rollercoaster.
Kiteo, his eyes closed.
Zinda, his face black, his eyes red.
Kiazi's children, their faces wet.
Shaka, when the walls fell.
⚙️ Roy Phillips#WritersCoffeeClub 12-Jan: Do characters use words not in the language you write in? Italics for this, or not?
Yes. Language is a central theme--a changing world where many different languages are spoken. We have Brythonic, Early Saxon, Latin, a bit of Aramaic and even a form of #Tamarian (Classical Allegoric).
I tried italicising, but on reading back it felt jarring, calling too much attention to the term, and I now rely on contextual translation.

TeMPOraLMy face when I realized that, as interesting and novel the #Tamarian language feels, it would seem that humanity has already done it better in real life: #Chinese is effectively compressed Tamarian. At least in parts.
Specifically, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chengyu is taking a story with a moral to stand for intended meaning, and then shortening it to four Chinese characters. Kind of like going from "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra" to "DJAT".

howiecohenUm. Y'all. Y'ALL. I have a morning meeting with Temba tomorrow on Teams. Howie and Temba in the windows. Howie, his lip bitten, his willpower weak. Temba, his humor unknown. HR, when the email arrives. Shaka, when the walls fell! #StarTrekTNG #Darmok #Tamarian
Khairul HishamKayshon is not the only Children of Tama in Starfleet. Galinha is as well, serving aboard NCC-72227. He was recently promoted from lieutenant to lieutenant commander 2 RPG sessions ago, in 2381.
