How much do you really need to say to put a sentence together?
When a language seems especially telegraphic, usually another factor has come into play: Enough adults learned it at a certain stage in its history that, given the difficulty of learning a new language after childhood, it became a kind of stripped-down “schoolroom” version of itself.
only a few languages have been taken up as vehicles of empire and imposed on millions of unsuspecting and underqualified adults.

One microphone is one pixel. An ability to see sound.
