Alien Day (26 April)

Crystal goes on about ideas of what languages of extra-terrestrial creatures might be like, and actual ones that have been created, for movies and books.
Francis Godwin (1562-1633), Bishop of Llandaf and of Hereford, wrote a story of a voyage to the moon, where he describes the language of the Lunars, which "consists not so much of Words and Letters, as Tunes and strange Sounds...there are few Words but signify several Things, and and are distinguished only by their Sounds, , which are sung as it were in uttering; yea, many Words consist of Tunes only, without Words."
This idea of linguistic Otherness as musical was apparently popular at the time, and could well have been inspired by early accounts of the tones of Chinese.
