For this blog I choose a Jimmy Kimmel video clip of when there was a fake sign language interpreter at Nelson Mandela's funeral. What I like about this clip is that they ended up bringing in an ASL interpreter to see what the guy was really talking about.

It was fascinating to me that he was saying some things, but it still didn't make any sense to what he was talking about anyways, I picked this video because it pertains to sign language. What I am surprised is that how they got a guy that doesn't really know sign language to stand up next to all these people at a big event to interpret when he isn't even making any sense.

This definitely affects the hearing impaired that were trying to watch the funeral at that time because since he isn't translating much of what they were saying. It can be frustrating especially for the hearing impaired. I think to the deaf community it can also show being disrespect.

For this blog I found video that talks about a language known as the whistle language. I found it very fascinating because the people that learn this language are mostly on an island outside of Africa. I picked this video because I have never heard such a language existed. It is related to language because it is a language, just not one that many people might have heard of before.
I find it interesting because its crazy how a language can make words just out of a few whistle noises. This video makes me curious if this language is hard to learn. I think it would be interesting to see how hard or easy it is to pick up a language that is just whistle noises.  I think it affects the world because if that small island doesn't continue to teach their people this language then it would be one less language in the world.

I  picked the article because I was interested with the fact that this man made a language. Not only is it a language that is in the movie, but I had no idea that there was an actual language that this man created. What I found out that is fascinating is that there are people out there that are learning the Na'vi language.

The only way that I can see is that it affects the world is by there being a new language out there now. After watching this video it makes me wonder how complex the Na'vi language is.
I kind of want to see how hard it is to learn and how people learn  this language. Because I am sure there are not many places for this unique language to be taught at. It would be quite interesting.
