Universal Language:
“Any physically whole child is so beautifully equipped and adaptable that it can learn any one of the thousands of languages spoken around Earth’s surface. Before they can learn those special tongue languages they often may be heard babbling a tongue of their own while lying on their backs themselves earlier in a beautiful morning. Tape recordings of these babbling of babies all around the world may gradually disclose an a priori spontaneously universal language. Recordings of porpoise and whale language sounds and their decelerated sounds which are similar to the tape recorder ‘squeakies’ of the fast traveling of tape, may disclose similarities between the child’s babblings and their mammalian relatives of the sea.”
