First person (I / we)
Second person (you / ???)
Third person (he,she,it / they)

Thus, we're reduced to using "you guys", "you people", "you xyz".

Researchers believe Sanskrit and computers are a perfect fit. In 1985, Rick Briggs, a researcher for NASA, published a paper on the potential uses of Sanskrit as a machine language. Natural languages are basically too imprecise for use as machine languages. Thus programmers have been forced to create artificial languages.

However, in Briggs' paper, he hailed Sanskrit as an exception. "Among the accomplishments of the [Sanskrit] grammarians can be reckoned a method for paraphrasing Sanskrit in a manner that is identical not only in essence but in form with current work in Artificial Intelligence. A natural language can serve as an artificial language also, and that much work in AI has been reinventing a wheel millennia old."

According to Briggs, some of the factors that make Sanskrit such a perfect machine language are that the word order of its sentences is not strict. For example, consider the sentence "Raamah Phalam Kaadhathi." All the six sentences formed from the various combinations of these three words carry the same meaning. For instance, "Phalam Raamah Kaadhathi" also means "Raama eats fruit," where as in English, obviously, "Fruit eats Raama" will give a very wrong meaning to the sentence.

Overlord, your master not your god
The enemy coast dawning grey with scud
These wretched souls puking, shaking fear
To take a bullet for those who sent them here

I know "jun" 「順」 means "order", as in "put in order", but what does the phrase "jun ni ageru" 「順にあげる」 mean? I also read a sentence saying "osoroshisa no jun ni naraberu koto." 「恐ろしさの順に並べる事。」 What does that mean?

Please help me translate this into Elizabethan English!



As much as I long for there to be another solution
I fear that yours is the only one that will work.
Hamlet is smart and so driven for revenge
Upon the one responsible for his father’s death.
He knows it is you who killed him, and is suspicious of my involvement.
It kills me to know that my own son sees me capable of such.
I would rather my son I love to die loving me than thinking me a monster but I beg you Claudius, there must be some other way for us to live harmoniously and leave Hamlet unharmed.

With Hamlet, the son of your husband and my brother you helped to kill slaughtered we will both be free from the shackles of our past. We can start our life together, Gertrude I killed for you. Do not weep for the son who does not love you. Do not fall apart. We are in this together and Hamlet will never let us be happy. Do not see this as a betrayal to your son, rather a token of your devotion to me.

I'm looking for web sites that list the origins and meanings of the above names. I can't find anything on any of them...I know that I found something on Avianna being Hebrew for spring once. And Milena being from various origin like Czech, Russian, Italian...It means something like gracious but can't find anything tonight. Not a single site I looked at listed any of the names above.

I really want to learn Icelandic. I've developed a random, odd fascination with all things Icelandic-I think the language, island, music, and the people are all so beautiful. Is anyone out there icelandic? How hard is the language to pick up? Is it expensive to travel there? Are the people welcoming? Are the teach-yourself books worthless?? How long does it take to learn on average???

Thanks!
