Comments on: A song for all languages…. http://www.charlesmerriam.com/blog/2007/09/a-song-for-all-languages/ Charles Merriam's loud tales of coding and technology Sun, 02 May 2010 17:08:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Liza Loop http://www.charlesmerriam.com/blog/2007/09/a-song-for-all-languages/comment-page-1/#comment-6708 Liza Loop Mon, 12 Nov 2007 22:27:08 +0000 http://www.charlesmerriam.com/blog/?p=64#comment-6708 I'm really happy to see this idea emerge independently from my own generation of it about 30 years ago. Maybe the universe is getting ready to make it happen. We need some language scholars to give us the sounds of the major languages and then a sample sentence in each language that includes all the major sounds that are not common to all languages. With that background we could turn the problem over to the kids - invent a fun, funny verse for your home language.
