OBNATLANG: One of my all-time favourite NatLangs is Bislama, a creole spoken
in language-dense Vanuatu (IIRC 1,000-some languages!), is named after the sea
slug/cucumber.

"Poetic creation still remains an act of perfect spiritual freedom. Poetry
remakes & prolongs language; every poetic language begins by being a secret
language, that is, the creation of a personal universe, of a completely closed
world." - Mircea Eliade

'The sage does not become trapped in semantics, does not mistake map for
territory, but rather "opens things up to the light of Heaven" by flowing with the
words, by playing with the words. Once attuned to this flow, the sage need
make no special effort to "illumine," for language does it by itself,
spontaneously. Language spills over [... letting each stream find its own channel,
fertilizing the earth, bringing everything into becoming...].' -  Peter Lamborn

     "The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that
English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on
occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them
unconscious and riffle their pockets for new vocabulary." - James D. Nicoll

Language[s] change[s]: vowels shift, phonologies crash-&-burn, grammars leak,
morpho-syntactics implode, lexico-semantics mutate, lexicons explode,
orthographies reform, typographies blip-&-beep, slang flashes, stylistics warp...
linguistic (R)evolutions mark each-&-every quantum leap...
