But it would still be fun to hear, don't you think? I like hearing things in Japanese. What does Heian mean?
A week ago I went to a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream that was partly translated into Hindi, Sanskrit, Bengali, Tamil, and a few other Indian languages. I couldn't understand any of them - I couldn't even tell which were Indo-European and which weren't - but it was lovely to hear, and the acting was so good, the meaning came across. Just not the words.

Language is a funny thing.
