So, something from GoT.

[remember]

@Soulbass world you mind doing that for african languages? there are so many dialects and languages...

its also very interesting how asian languages developed, people like ancestry maps - it can give you a sense of identity in by nature chaotic world - but returning to the very source all houses are leading to one and the same ancestor, and following one line of descendant makes us forget how patterns are maintained in a structure.

Edward Tuft founded a discipline/science known as Information Design. It's all about the aesthetics of visualizing data.

Looks like an eye or rays coming from the sun. Visually lets you know that all your information comes from... no center.  We'll just stick a label on it as if we know and gloss over that though. "All matter came from a dot smaller than the period at the end of this sentence." Mmm hmm.

@Leo Gura  That's so pretty :))

@Soulbass  PIE from that recording sounds very much like some indo-aryan language, don't you think? It's interesting how some languages that are spoken each on one side of the globe can have similarities, for example the sentence I drink tea is in my native Czech Já piju čaj [yaa piyu chay] and in Hindi it is Main chaay peetee hai. You can see how the Hindi word main has similar root to the English me and the word čaj and chaay are almost the same and also the words piju and peetee have a similar root. There is definitely like a historical relationship with the Brits colonizing India and tea originally coming from India/China (in Chinese the word is also similar), but still soo interesting.

@remember  I think African languages also have some sort of connection with this. My friend is planning to go to Tanzania so she is learning Swahili. When we spoke about differences between Swahili and Hindi, we realized that the word for book is in Hindi kitaab and in Swahili it is kitabu. First I didnt know why these two languages have such a similar world, when they are so far away (on land). Then my Indian friend corrected me that India and Africa are very much interconnected, but then I had another look at the Wikipedia and I found that the word kitaab/kitabu is also in Urdu (language of Pakistan), Farsi, Turkish, Arabic and Somali, so actually even through land, there is a connection.

Actually the Hindi word would be poostuk. Pretty sure kitab has foreign origins, maybe Arabic or Farsi.

you are joking to say he founded that ???????????????

he‘s probably one nice example of design going meta as designtheory, but no practice without theory, if practice came first, theory was not invented by a designtheoretic.

i‘m actually often not noticing anymore how nice a graphic is organized. the theory here is one origin - which is maybe sexy in sense of simplicity but not in sense of understanding interconnectedness - it’s basically red transforming to orange information to show interconnectedness of a bunch of languages while leaving out some others. 

and in the beginning was the word

structure fits content.
