If you're interested in constructed languages, or science fiction, or both, I HIGHLY recommend this new book that is packed with interesting information that I haven't seen elsewhere: https://t.co/K977cxDbPX

Undeciphered Voynich manuscript may have been bound out of order, study finds.
The mysterious and undeciphered Voynich manuscript has caused consternation among code-breakers, linguists and scholars of medieval literature for more than a century. But now experts think they've worked out why it's so hard to crack: It was bound incorrectly in the 15th century, meaning the pages are out of order. The new linguistic analysis of the document has moved researchers closer to figuring out what the text was all about. https://t.co/eJ4AY6gTk0

Stop making sense: focus on sounds to help learn a language, study suggests. Research shows that the best linguists process unfamiliar foreign speech sounds more like non-speech sounds https://t.co/qQQghsg6bm

@gengotakujp Read this book (it's only $7) and I bet it will change your mind: https://t.co/yYMe2TOeen There's a lot more to the syntax, structure and word-building possiblities of Esperanto than people may realize.

@Hyakutaro0 A native speaker apparently made his own audio for the Assimil Cantonese series because he didn't feel the audio that accompanies the series is quite right and put them on YouTube: https://t.co/Z4A26zJUK6

@Hyakutaro0 Interesting. I found a listing here (https://t.co/TdYXmjPRYA) so the book did actually exist and it has outstanding reviews. I'll keep searching.
