Echos of one alphabet ricochet into another. I'm interested in the power dynamics between different languages. In Europe, English is the predominant language due to the globalised mix of people. How did English come to dominate its allies? Where does this leave other languages? Does one's Mother tongue begin to fade? Notably subjects in this experiment struggled to remember their first alphabet, learning it again through their utterances. How does a language change our thinking patterns? As Ursula le'Guin observes in 'Babbel 66', language is a weapon.
