Opitlay Ibberishgay

Jen and I have been writing back and forth in Lopit.

Neither of us has written—not even in Lopit—that we’re pathetic and missing Sudan. But I think the writing in Lopit says it all.

Mostly because Lopit isn’t even a written language.

We don’t even have a set standard for spelling/pronunciation on our team, since the words can differ even between our villages. (I’m convinced Jen and Cath speak the gibberish dialect of Lopit. ;) )

But we’re writing in it.

Or trying. It’s a lot like phonetic gymnastics.

And really, really fun.

I miss Sudan!
