When it was born the mother held her new born child close. She began then to lick it all over. The child whimpered a little. But as the mother’s tongue moved faster and stronger over its body, it grew silent. The mother turning it this way and that under her tongue until she’d tongued it clean of the creamy white substance covering its body.

Edict I.
Every owner of slaves shall wherever possible shall ensure that the slaves belong to as many ethno-linguistic groups as possible. If they cannot speak to each other, they cannot then ferment rebellion and revolution.

The mother then put her fingers in her child’s mouth, gently forcing it open. She touches her tongue to the child’s tongue and holding the tiny mouth open she blows into it hard. She was blowing words. Her words her mother’s words those of her mother’s mother and all their mothers before her daughter’s mouth.

Edict II.
Every slave caught sleeping his native language shall be severely punished. Where necessary removal of the tongue is recommended. The offending organ when removed should be hung on a high central place so that all may see and tremble.

Those parts of the brain chiefly responsible for speech are named after two learned 19th century doctors. The eponymous doctors Broker and Dr. Vernicer respectively. Dr. Broker believed the size of the brain determined intelligence. He devoted much of his time proving that White males of the Caucasian race had larger brains than and were therefore superior to women, Blacks and other peoples of colour.

Understanding and recognition of the spoken word takes place in Vernicer’s area of the left temporal lobe situated next to the auditory cortex. From there relevant information to Broker’s area situated in the left frontal cortex which then forms the response and passes it on to the mortal cortex. The mortal cortex controls the muscles of speech.
