I just have a peculiar question here. When someone or something "mindspeaks" how is this interpreted? Say if someone that speaks multiple languages tries mindspeaking with someone else who speaks multiple languages, how is it decided or known what language will be mindspoken? Is mindspeech a universal language of some sort? Or are there certain limitations to the use of mindspeech? thanks for the help.

It would make sense that it's some kind of pure communication, especially as folks like the dyheli or kyree don't speak but communicate quite clearly through Mindspeech, wouldn't it? Or am I way off base and need to go to bed? :-) --Rachel (passing around chocolate fudge sheep to all!) -----Original Message----- From: grouch1 To: rachelsch-+AT+-mindspring.com Date: Wednesday, October 06, 1999 10:17 PM Subject: to mindspeak or not to mindspeak that is the question >Heyla all! > >I just have a peculiar question here. >When someone or something "mindspeaks" how is this interpreted? >Say if someone that speaks multiple languages tries mindspeaking with >someone else who speaks multiple languages, how is it decided or known >what language will be mindspoken?

I mean take the internet, people can communicate with each other, even if one is using a PC and the other a MAC. I think in Storm Breaking they go into it bit more when talking about the Teleson device they find in Urtho's tower but my book not here so i can't quate it.
