Hanuman "Stitch" Zhang, ManglaLanger (mangle + manga + lang)
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...
...languages are "naturally evolved wild systems... So language does not
impose order on a chaotic universe, but reflects its own wildness back." -
