    THE SILENT CROWN He never speaks in public. Not once. Every order is written. Every punishment is silent. Every decision is absolute. People don't fear him because he's loud. They fear him because nobody has ever heard his voice... and remained unchanged. Jeon Jungkook is known as The Silent Crown-a ruler of an underground empire built on control, discipline, and silence. Then she appears. Y/N. A forensic linguist assigned to decode messages connected to his syndicate. Her job is simple: Study the handwriting. Track the patterns. Find the meaning. But something goes wrong. Because the writing starts changing. The words become personal. The pauses feel intentional. The messages begin answering questions she never asked. And slowly- she realizes she's no longer decoding him. He's decoding her. What begins as observation turns into something neither of them planned. A dangerous silence. Unspoken understanding. An obsession that doesn't ask permission. He never lets people close. She never meant to stay. But some things don't arrive like love. They arrive quietly. And one day you realize- you never left. A psychological mafia romance about silence, obsession, power, letters, and a connection that was never supposed to become permanent. In his world, nothing belongs to anyone. Until she became... ours. Genre: Dark Romance • Mafia • Psychological Romance • Slow Burn • Mystery • Obsession • Thriller • Mature Romance • Possessive ML • Emotional Tension

    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.

    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."

    The beautiful linguistics professor, Misty Mac Niell, is haunted by a rare disease; hyperthymestic syndrome. This peculiar syndrome enables her to remember every detail of her life that ever occurred; such as what she ate for breakfast on the morning of her second birthday. Her unusual ability lands her a part time job with the local police force and her first assignment is to find the murderer of twelve jurors. The most obvious answer is the man that they put away, but there's only one little catch; he's on death row and claims to have no part in it.

    The story of a conman who finds himself in a most unusual set of circumstances in which he enters a town in order to pull his con, but strangely finds himself thrown into the bizarre land of Streel, which seems oddly familiar to him. And so he will fight his way through the world of absurdity that is Streel; and so he will meet a woman that he believes he loves; and so he will have to go in search of the Freel, to find the winged "slabberjank" and strike it down, facing all sorts of nonsense and absurdity on his journey through the land, for this is the task of right-handed people. Of course, left-handed people are really no different.

    This publication contains my shortened qualification paper for a Bachelor's degree in the last module of my specialization area, linguistics, on the origin and history of Yiddish as well as my Bachelor's thesis comparing the social prestige of Yiddish and Hebrew. Both were graded as "very good". I thought it might be of interest to some or be useful as a starting point for other students. Please keep in mind that these were written during my Bachelor Studies and contain quotes and information from academic sources as well as graphics and pictures taken from academic publications and primary sources. More about this in the preface. Paper "Yiddish, a Language through the Ages" BA thesis "Sociolinguistics of Yiddish and Hebrew: Social Prestige and Instrumentalization of Semitic Languages"
