Nothing But Scribbles

Hello there!
Welcome to my first ever blog about anything I feel like talking about, oh and if you don't like it the STFU! >:D
So while I was making this blog I struggled to really think of a decent sounding/appropriate name, and in the end I decided on... Well if you're here you should know it :P

Anyway, after thinking up that bizarre title, I've decided to make my very first blog post on language. Speaking of the title, I'll just point out before anyone else chooses to that it's become a cross between Greek and Latin. The word 'lexicon' comes from the Greek word 'Lexis' meaning... Uh... Actually I don't know what it means, someone get back to me on that! oh, and the 'Negimalevolentarium' thing is simply because when I think of Latin, I think of a word and stick a suffix like '-arium' or '-us' on anyold normal word.

How many languages would you say there are? Think you can name them all? Have a go if you want, bet you £100 you can't get it right without using the internet! Well, there's English, Franch, Itallian, Spanish, German, Japanese, Chinese, Latin, Pig Latin, Hindi, blah ,blah, blah... Well believe it or now, you probably couldn't name or count every language in the world, for starters, in 1997 the bible had already been translated into over 2,000 languages, and learning one is hard enough!

^The Greek Alphabet, various letters have made cameos in the video game world, with Beta through Zeta in 'Sonic Adventure', Lambda, Mu and Nu appearing in 'Blazblue' and Sigma, appearing in 'Lux-Pain'^

The thing that makes languages so interesting, is how they're nothing but scribbles to people who don't know them, take a look at this:

私はあなたを愛して
Any idea what that is? Well if you don't see it as a bunch of squares like I do (btw my computer's old and shit) that would be the Japanese for 'I love you'. Actually, while I'm on this topic let me delve into the whole 'Japanese = Chinese' thing more deeply, THEY ARE NOT THE SAME!

The japanese language (when I'm not counting Kanji, because I don't understand that shit) is made up of symbols representing either any consonant and a vowel together (i.e: Ka, Ki, Ku, Ke Ko), a lone vowel, or the exception, the letter 'n' on its own. On the other hand, the Chinese language is made up of 30,000 or so different symbols, ow which 3,000 are expected to be learnt by the end of Primary School (Year 2 to us English people). Just imagine learning 3,000 letters of the alphabet at that age! They might as well just throw a couple of dictionaries in our faces and tell us to 'learn it boyyyyyyyy, or your parents won't be coming home tonight', and even then it'd be a miracle if we got results. This just proves... Chinese people... MUST BE INHUMAN! (Not intended to be racist, I'm simply trying to make this blog funny... but badly because I'm really not that good at humour, I apologize to any Chinese people who were offended at my implication that 30,000 characters is too many, but seriously, I can just picture their computer keyboards now...)

^The city of Tokyo, how many signs can you read? Just the one that says 'BOOKS'? I thought so :)^
я тебя люблю
Consequently, this would be the Russian for 'I love you', don't ask why I'm choosing that phrase, probably because I'm a lonely pile of poo, but that's besides the point, just look at this stuff! How can it possibly mean anything!?

^Arabic Scrabble, as if word games weren't already confusing enough^

Well I think I've gone on long enough for now so I'll just leave you with my 'What if' of the day:

WHAT IF: The government actually gets high off our misfortune?

તમે આગામી સપ્તાહમાં જુઓ! (અથવા પહેલાં, જો હું તેથી ઇચ્છા)
(Gujarati, meaning: 'See you next week! (Or earlier, if I so desire)')

Omake (Japanese for 'Bonus')
What have we learnt about me so far?
-I'm not too good at being funny
-I like games (maybe a bit too much xD)
-When I get caught up in writing about random shit I can't stop myself
