i’m thinking something exotic, so they can tell me all the neighborhood gossip in a language no one else understands. or maybe just english, so i can finally figure out why they stare at walls so intently. either way, the secrets they hold…

    Klingon. I would love to hear my cat yell about glory while attacking a random bit of lint he found on the ground.

    Edit: I realize you said “human” language, but a human invented klingons and their language, so I’m saying it counts.

  • The Hong Konger variant of Cantonese where they randomly interject English words into everyday sentences. This confuses English speakers and also so that my parents can’t fully understand my cat either. So I’m just proficient in both good enough that I can converse with her properly. It’s kinda feels like a special sort of hybrid language that very few people understands, so it makes the connection more unique.

    I’d probably have to go with English so we could communicate better… but French sure is tempting:

    I was under 18 when I first watched that video… 18 years ago. Now Henri and I have so much in common.

    Some long-time extinct dead language.

    I don’t want the little snitch to go around telling stuff behind my back 😒.
