kossai: masculine form of kossai (Default)

how kossai define plural internal language is , unique language which plural collective use internally - this could be something which intentionally make up , something that was already there , or maybe something that sprout naturally over time . these can also take advantage of things that would not be possible in " outside world " , like telepathy , or expressions beyond words .

for example , maybe collective that speak several languages fluently have people with different access to these languages : this person can not speak language A while this one can not speak language B - so , internal pidgin might naturally develop .
there can also be case like kossai - home realm of kossai is not really headspace , as in " some place which exist inside head " , rather home realm is another world that kossai as court have access to . this is place that move and place where things happen , even when no one in front is able to see .

and , there is language here . did not sit down and choose to make up , but do choose to sit down and document .
of course , to outsiders this is indistinguishable : no one else have proof this language exist , no one outside kossai know anything about unless personally tell .
which can sort of sting sometimes : not have much place to honestly talk about this , because singlet conlangers - who can relate to premise of document language no one else know - will look at collective like 3 heads , but then not able share much with even other plurals because not as if all plurals share this experience .

likewise , people in neither group see this as some sort of game , and sometimes hesitate or even refuse to accept because of experiences with people dismiss other earthly languages , languages of home and family and ancestors long past .
and not necessarily wrong to feel this way , like say about plural internal cultures - this all come from real , painful experiences : people who mock native language , who refuse to listen unless perform perfectly , then go to talk about wonders of something like esperanto .

anything which kossai want to use in language , need to personally sit down and translate . which is not unique experience , but for very different reason than most others .
others have to take this on because world ignore language , because no one bother to support , because people think better if would just use english and allow to die off . no one recognise language of kossai either , but , that is because functionally not exist outside kossai - like most conlangs .

and there is nothing to learn or teach from - have to sit down , document and create these things by choice .
again not unique on base level , but very different from experience of peoples with languages on brink of extinction and community desperate to save for - even if nothing else is possible anymore - future generations reference of historical records .

again , there is pain in not have ways to share - but , everyone who is wary also have real pains .
would like to have world that not need this wariness , but until then , have to try and understand where come from .

wish there was less kneejerk instinct to laugh about " silly " gadgets and products .
so many times , product is assistive device for particular kind of disabled person . someone with only one functional hand , someone with tremor , with weak grip , so on and so forth .

not everyone can live with others around to help always , and should not have to if only need help in specific areas .
likewise , not fair should have to wait for someone else to come around and do these things that would be easy with tools to accommodate . imagine just try to eat , but not have enough of ingredients ready after all , and can not ask anyone for help for 3 more days .

even if feel urge is just to laugh at how companies market these products , please keep purpose in mind and do not veer into laugh at " silly , lazy people " .

addendum as of september 13 2024 :

this is also very true for foods which come pre-cut and in package , like orange slices lay out on tray . of course would be very nice to not need so much plastic in these applications ! but remove without provide alternative is not worth starve out disabled people .
