“Sonnet of Languages

Turkish is the language of love,
Spanish is the language of revolution.
Swedish is the language of resilience,
English is the language of translation.
Portuguese is the language of adventure,
German is the language of discipline.
French is the language of passion,
Italian is the language of cuisine.
With over 7000 languages in the world,
Handful of tongues fall short in a sonnet.
But you can rest assured of one thing,
Every language does something the very best.
Each language is profoundly unique in its own way.
When they come together, they light the human way.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Amantes Assemble: 100 Sonnets of Servant Sultans

“One small step towards a language is one giant leap towards inclusion.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Amantes Assemble: 100 Sonnets of Servant Sultans

“Culture shapes the language, Language shapes the culture. When you absorb another language, It reshapes your mental atmosphere.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Amantes Assemble: 100 Sonnets of Servant Sultans

“Polyglots have more fun.”

“Hometown Human Sonnet

Everybody loves Rumi,
I learnt his tongue,
So I could pick up where he left off.
Better than basking in borrowed light,
Is to be an original light to the world.

Everybody yells, viva la libertad,
I learnt el idioma, so I could
humanize the paradigm of revolution.
Everybody loves Indus valley diversity,
Annitiki munde anni shaashtralu nerchkunnanu,
So I'm never out of spice for my humanitarianism.

Everybody loves boasting about their culture,
I spent years making all the cultures my own.
Thus my strength was amplified a thousand folds,
My sight expanded beyond all norms of vision known.

Polyglots have more fun - there is no question.
When science, poetry and polyglottery come together,
That's the beginning of a paradigm bending revolution.”

“I never studied linguistics,
Yet I became a linguistic enigma.
The sun never studied nuclear fusion,
Yet it is our planet's nuclear messiah.”

“AI can translate info, not inkling,
AI can translate facts, not poetry.
Till a tongue transcends lips to soul,
Translations are but soulless forgery.”

“Each language leaves a distinct mental imprint,
Inaccessible by the fanciest of translator.
Translation gives a glimpse into the head,
Language is highway to the soul of a culture.”

“Art of Linguistics (Sonnet 1223)

No language speaks of freedom better than spanish,
No language speaks of love better than turkish,
No language speaks of oneness better than sanskrit,
No language interprets better than our good ol' english.

No language speaks to computers better than code,
No language speaks of matter better than physics.
No language speaks of mind better than neurology,
No language speaks pattern better than mathematics.

No language speaks of thought better than philosophy,
No language speaks of emotion better than poetry.
No language speaks of justice better than sociology,
No language speaks of behavior better than psychology.

Purpose of language is communication not argumentation,
If it doesn't bridge the cliffs it all brings but extinction.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Insan HimalayanoÄŸlu: It's Time to Defect

“I don't do drugs, languages are my LSD.”

Same language evokes different feelings,
based on time and age of the world.”
