A Dog looking out for its afternoon nap jumped into the Manger of an Ox and lay there cosily upon the straw.

But soon the Ox, returning from its afternoon work, came up to the Manger and wanted to eat some of the straw.

The Dog in a rage, being awakened from its slumber, stood up and barked at the Ox, and whenever it came near attempted to bite it.

At last the Ox had to give up the hope of getting at the straw, and went away muttering:

Blissymbols as a Spoken Language

Image
A naturally more common way of trying to communicate between people who do not share a common language is to draw pictures either by signing with the hands or by drawing with pencil and paper.

Of course the setback with using Blissymbols are: 1) They are useless over radio and other voice-only methods of communication. 2) Blissymbols have still not been included in Unicode, and cannot be transmitted as text. I hope what I am doing here will encourage the addition of Blissymbols into Unicode. Whereas other languages both natural and man-made translate words from one language to another by corresponding series of sounds made with the mouth and tongue to another series of sounds made with the mouth and tongue, this language instead corresponds sounds to pictures - something understood more internationally.
