For the T-Shirt, "Your language goes here" probably wouldn't be any different in Newspeak. Altho it might be something like "Your ownselfspeak goes here". Judging by Newspeak and Oldspeak, perhaps "Speak" would be used for "language", and since these are conlangs, "private" languages, ownself- seems to be the word for private, as in "ownselflife" (being an individual, bound up with ideas of evil and wickedness and perversion). -- Dievas dave dantis; Dievas duos duonos God gave teeth; God will give bread - Lithuanian proverb ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTailor
