Do we have names for every rock in that secret cavern that nobody had found before, yet is guranteed to exist (when it is found)?


Yes. Undiscovered rocks.

Then by that logic, Vilageidiotx already has names for the languages that he refers to and can easily counter the question of their existances.

"Unnamed Languages".

That can't be the name.

Because the languages don't have names.

A language with a name.


And how did that name come into creation?

Lord Xenu gave it the name, of course.

And thus I give the name "Unnamed Languages" to the languages previously discussed.

Then they wouldn't be unnamed, and you'd be incorrect.

It is not incorrect as it is the name as I defined it, any more than "English" would not be correct, as prior to the creation of the name, the language was not in fact English.

If the name of the language is Unnamed Language, then it is incorrect because it is no longer unnamed.

English IS correct because, prior to its creation, it didn't have a name. Any name given to something previously unnamed is its name, otherwise we all have incorrect names.

That depends. If I am using "Unnamed Language" in the context to describe a language, then that's how it is named.

Just like how anyone who calls an island an unnamed island makes that its name until someone otherwise gives it another name.

But we're not talking about that context.

Remember this? This is what we're talking about. You specifically named them Unnamed Languages, which defeats the point of the name.

And, before that, if you remember, we were talking about the English language's specific name and not a term to describe it, which is what you're trying to pass in this newest post.

I am, actually, talking about the context.

I gave it the name which functions as a description as well until someone creates a name proper for it.

But no. You didn't. You may have MEANT for it to be like that, but you didn't.

That depends on how you interpret it, which I unfortunately don't spend much effort into fine tuning for all to see it as I do.

If you only refer to the language with an awkward pause and a knowing glance, it remains an unnamed language.

I think academics call this the "Voldemort Theory of Linguistic Pregenesis.".
