Talk:Ascian language

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The remark about Star-Trek episode Darmok is incorrect. That episode is about a language based on metaphors. The metaphorical language was not forced on the people by a dictator, as the Ascian language. In fact, in the Star trek episode the leader sacrifices himself for his people. The metaphorical language mentioned presents problems to the crew of the Enterprise, but not to the native speakers, while the Ascian language makes it difficult for its native speakers to express critical thoughts.
