Would someone care to translate the speech sample? I tried a number of searches but all I got back were dozens of references to this very page. Damn and blast!

I resemble that comment. Seriously, if it is not translated, what is the point? 71.156.42.198 (talk) 06:31, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Glossary Needed

Can't anybody describe the language more precisely? Which parts of the language were more closely related to German than English? The devoicing of dental stops at the ends of syllables?

What kinds of word classes are there in their language? Do nouns or verbs inflect, or do they need position-dependent auxiliaries to flesh out their meaning?

Another way to improve the article would be to add a glossary.

[edit] Birth

This seems to be missing a key piece of information. "Their birth was normal, and they were able to lift their heads and make eye contact with their parents within hours after birth. Doctors at the time referred to this behavior as related to a seizure disorder and speculated that both girls would become mentally retarded as a result."

What behavior was termed a "seizure disorder"? The sentence that precedes it doesn't indicate anything abnormal.75.139.35.32 10:05, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
