This is the art of communication on a surface level. some people learn which sounds make which words, then form sentences from that. recently, i have experimented with 'syllable semantics,' and find it rather effective. this is where you hear a syllable and mimic the way it makes you feel, to get a physical interpretation of what the message is.

For example, the most influential sounds out there are sounds from nature and animals. for example, the sound of thunder, "grmblrmbl," will be understood in every language as being angry or trouble being near, yes? these sounds explain a lot of what the person is saying, as they hear these sounds and interpret them to mean that part of nature, of course.

But, it goes a lot further than that! if you were to break down syllables into semantic 'meaning,' you could come up with a few basic meanings for these 'sounds.' these sounds mean the same thing fro culture to culture usually, for example "ma" is the beginning of mother and means mother in many dialects. then there is "pa," or father, too. the difference here would be the m or p sounds, meaning different things, which we will get into shortly.

~ I live in africa, and have found that i can understand nearly any african words or basic meanings from listening to the radio and asking my black friends if i understand correctly? then there is face book, which also has many dialects, if you care for them.

So, if you hear a sound that you can turn into semantics, then you will understand the make up of the word. if you heard a word that goes "molo" in my country meaning "hello" to the xhosa people, you could say the "mo" is a thrusting sound, and the "lo" meaning up if you were to place your body into the sound, yes? this would be like "top of the greetings," "high noon," or "you great," logically, yes?

Thus is it is easy once you think about these things.
 
let us observe the hardest alphabet to learn, one we all use that is reading this, english. how did the letters bring about the 'phonetic syllables for sounds?' if we were to observe a snake goes "s" it would follow that the figure looking like the s of the alphabet is s for snake, which makes a "s" sound.

So, starting from the beginning;

[01] A. if we were to observe where this sound comes from we would find it comes from, the most basic of words with sounds, "ah" for "pain" or "realization."
[02] B. brrr, bee, breathe. cold wind. bah, baby goats give us milk - close relationship.
[03] C. cold, cough, caught. slowing down or interference, impeded due to something.
[04] D. dear, dive, deep. depth or large amounts of something.
[05] E. empty, enough, energy, evidence. description of "values." amounts we can measure. stop or start.
[06] F. full, found, fund, funny. opposite of "e."
[07] G. go, got, grind, gouge. Something leaving or incoming.
[08] H. halt, hop, haunt, hollow. deprived entrance or exodus. opposite of "g."
[09] I. in, inner, inside, it, inhale. "movement."
[11] J. joke, jade, jaunt, jovial. "happiness." pleasant emotions.
[12] K. kill, kiss, kite. "victory."
[13] L. lose, last, linger, long. something "concluding."
 
[13]M. men, main, mire, mouse. something of emotion, related to other letters.
[14]N. no, not, none, nun. refusal, conclusion, contest. "resisting."
[15]O. other, on, one, owe, or. "transfer."
[16]P. poor, pond, pick, pony. "taking less."
[17]Q. quill, queen, queer, queue. "very interesting, worth waiting for."
[18]R. rule, run, rung, rune, roll. "movement of authority or self."
[19]S. sew, soon, song, sun. "rejoicing."
[20]T. tear, ton, trick, tongue. "bad thing happening to valued thing."
[21]U. under, utilize, unto, use. "giving something."
[22]V. vault, vex, vivid, volume. "storing something."
[23]W. walk, wise, want, wink. "strength."
[24]X. * exit, excite, exhale, fox. "quick, speedy"
[25]Y. yule, young, yes, yeast. "rebirth."
[26]Z. zest, zeal, zero. energy coming from some where else - "filled."
 
And there was me hoping that this was a black African with no education finding out about the world and being shocked to discover that the western viewpoint has no magic or spells in it.

Nope, just some sort of hippy or erm.....????
