I'm having a hard time believing this. Could you point me to the
research that leads to your characterizing these languages as resembling
computer programming languages? For instance, what do you mean by "the
foundation of each sort of expression is a unique string of syllables,
and the expression is completed by inserting words before and/or after
each of those syllables"?
