  • The history of kin toroon by josephPyuzwa

    This book describes the alien civilization referred to by themselves as kin toroon (pronounced kin TAR-oon), or "the people." This not a story, but a description to be used as reference for any subsequent stories that I may publish. This all came about when I got the idea for a sci-fi/diesel punk/ fantasy story (that I have not fleshed out yet) involving a soldier in a world war that involuntarily draws energy from his surroundings to heal himself (absorption of a bomb blast, withering of a tree, etc.). I wanted to incorporate some sort of inscription and decided to create an alphabet. Finding I wanted to have a language made for it, I waited until I could accurately and quickly recognize each character before I got to work on the words. Of course a language needs a people, which is where kin toroon come in....

    This is not a clear story, it never was woven to be so and it shouldn't be read as such either. I hope that I've accomplished my role of writing it truthful to its real life counterpart and that its protagonists, wherever they might be now, consider it a loyal transliteration of the events they lived and to which I've assisted long ago. Time becomes the only common thread, where jumps and runs continuously undo and redo its course, where a group of friends becomes the inexorable guardian of its fragile safety, because a shadow looms over existence and humanity might not be ready just yet. You'll have to read and see.

    India is a huge country and one of its kind. It's a land of diversity with diverse languages, cultures and attitudes. One of the biggest differences in India is language diversity. We have over 22 official languages, multiple vernacular languages and over 6000 dialects. There is a popular saying that depicts India's linguistic diversity rather well: "Kos-kos par badle paani, chaar kos par baani" (The language spoken in India changes every few kilometers, just like the taste of the water). To tap the power of the vernacular languages and realize the "Digital India" dream, we need to develop an India Internet ecosystem that will raise Internet adoption and promote digital empowerment through vernacular interface and content. After all, the language that you talk in, is which you think in, is what you are most comfortable with. You have heard that "If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart."

    What Remains Unspoken is a literary sci-fi story about a linguist, Ellis Ward, who is sent to an isolated station to decode an alien Archive that seems less like a ruin and more like a living intelligence. As she works beside a brilliant but increasingly dangerous scientist, Mara Vey, Ellis discovers that translation is never neutral: every choice about meaning, truth, and certainty carries a human cost. At its core, the story is about understanding other minds without pretending that understanding makes everyone safe. Through the recovered voices of two alien figures, Aven and Sel, the story explores the tension between sharing knowledge and protecting people from it, building toward a final choice that could change Mara, the station, and humanity itself.
