“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.”

“Language is magic,
I wield that magic in my breath.
My brain is a symphony of portals,
each transcending past exclusivity,
into distinct linguocultural awareness.”

nurture the light within,
and let the magic happen”
“Language is magic, culture is magic,
I wield that magic in my breath.
My brain is a symphony of portals,
Each transcending past exclusivity,
into distinct linguocultural awareness.”

“The Whirling Linguist
(Naskaristana 2670-2671)
Language is a paradox,
by ambition it is expansive,
but by neurology it is restrictive,
and language tied to ideology,
is downright decrepit.
I live in six languages,
and occasionally dabble in a few more,
and I learnt none inside classrooms,
I just outgrew the jungle memberships.
What makes a language native is
not flawless syntax or grammar,
but a shameless flow of passion.
For example, yo soy humano, por que humano?
cunku benim icin bi tek insanlik onemli -
sesangi sarang, sarangi sesang -
and to hell with armchair linguists
and grammar nazis, who can't tell
day from night without consulting textbooks -
I'm the center that the dervish whirls around,
I'm the flame that syllables dance around,
I'm the immeasurable that your complex-obsessed
psychology books patronize with analysis, and
philosophy books desecrate with ivory-tower,
lifeless logic disconnected from soil,
most of whom are more interested in calculation and
condescension than the elevation of human condition.
You think Naskar writes me, Naskar is an idiot, I'm beyond Naskar, beyond every single puny mortal brain, I'm the original sentience that occasionally seeks out fitting vessels, with a dominant tendency of expansion and a tinge of naivety, and makes them whirl at my whim, so that your little toddler species doesn't crawl back into jungle slime.”
