Yes, indeed. Way back in the 1950s in the "Eagle" comic here in the UK, the Mercurians spoke a strange language (all vowels sung on different notes) which had no verbs. Several examples of the language were given and some literal translations. but, alas, I have no record of this and i have searching the Internet for info, but in vain. ==================================== Larry Sulky wrote: > Check out a language called "Allnoun".
