What language are you speaking? What language do you hear?

Do you speak other languages, and when you switch to them, do the people around you understand each other?

What script, glyphs, or alphabet do you write with? Do you see them on your communicator? Do other people see them as the icons you touch? [She means keys to type with, but doesn't quite have the turn of phrase.] If you write them by hand can the people around you read them?

I'm experimenting with written word. I'm in the bar drawing glyphs, if anyone volunteers to come try to read.

[ Having been speaking in English up until this point, Haruto consciously switches to Japanese. ]

No, it could certainly be a lot worse. The only thing is, you have to adjust your expectations. If you expect it to come out looking and tasting like an actual food item, you'll be disappointed. But if you just let it be what it is, then it's fine.

[And here, Jasnah blinks. When people deliberately switch languages, they're able to.

She contains her excitement for just a moment, glancing at Erika, just to be sure.]

[Erika knows just enough spoken English to hear that switch, and it's bizarre, and she pauses for a moment to meet Jasnah's glance and then think for a moment about whether she can mimic that.]

...I'll try something. [Fuck, okay, she can write this just fine but pronouncing it is going to be hell.] "I think, therefore I am." [And, here, another line that comes out sounding way better:] "Ego cogito, ergo sum."

[Verdict, Jasnah?]

[neuralnet]

Interesting... [ He's intrigued. He decides to try it himself. ] "I came, I saw, I conquered." "Veni, vidi, vici."

[ He, too, looks to Jasnah. ]

[veristitalian]

Absolutely nothing.

[Says Jasnah, pleased and now even more curious than when she started. No English, no Latin, no real differentiation between the two. People can deliberately switch to different languages to speak over someone.

Potentially useful, if anyone from Roshar turns up.]
