"Every Word Is a Bird We Teach to Sing" by Daniel Tammet

book review by Riley Burnham 3/17/2024

this is good(!)

a wandering, rigorous exploration/mapping of languages, including ASL & "real" Icelandic, from a noteworthy author -- the Guinness record holder for longest pi recitation & rapid language learner...

Daniel also looks into computer-generated linguists, & concludes that they are vastly inferior to real speakers, & speculates whether this is a surmountable hurdle by the technology

​​​​​​​i downloaded his earlier book "Born on a Blue Day," which i'll probably start next 👍
