Congratulations, EF! You've taken your first step into the world of linguistics with your observation that basic sequences of phonemes, even ones that seem to be nonsense in one language, can communicate different things depending on the language!
Do you plan to start out with languages like Hebrew and Farsi? Or will you start as many English speakers do with the Romance languages like Spanish and Portuguese, so that you may communicate with our American comrades both in our local communities and down south when the revolution comes?
