#TimeTravelAuthors Jan. 5th: Languages in your story

Bijou speaks English and French.
Emily speaks English, German, and Mandarin Chinese.
We have also seen Latin writings and will soon see Vedic Sanskrit, medieval Latin, and Hellenic Greek. Undoubtedly, we will at some point run into eye dialect and probably the use of waka and katatsu poetry for communication.

@NaraMoore Wow! I do not understand most of your last sentence, but I suppose I'll get it when we get there!

It's courtly poetic communication.

And eye dialect is writing in a way that it looks like dialectic speech. "Aye, it be like dat."

@NaraMoore Thank you! (Weirdly enough, I think I saw eye dialect on some no soliciting signs I was looking at tonight!)
