        Verbs, tenses, conjugations, syntax, pronouns, etc. It takes more than translating sentences and words to make a language

            Only in the context that whatever is being spoken was “translated”. Not that they’re actually any rules or an entire vocabulary or just pretty much anything that a language has to have to be a language. It’s very convincing and that it might be a language to the lay person like you or me who gets fooled into thinking that it is a language, but the actual linguists and people who study language and such, it’s most definitely not a language.

      It’s not. Because it lacks the elements for language. Everything you saw on the show was just translated for those specific sentences
