====God Tongue====
**Summary:**
A language that is used to speaks directly into the listeners mind rather than to their ear. It's difficult to learn but enables the speaker to convey an idea across any language barrier by utilizing the idea of an item and having that translate directly into the corresponding listeners mind where it takes on the form that they understand. For example if the speaker says 'cup' in the God Tongue, the listeners idea of a cup is generated in their mind. If the speaker is referring to a goblet as their ideal concept of a cup but the listener has never seen or used a goblet, but they have used a tea cup, the listener will see a tea cup in their mind. The tea cup in this instance conveys the idea of cup so that both the speaker and listener understand the general idea that is being expressed. With the God Tongue then it is difficult to translate specific details or concepts since the generation of the concept is based upon the listeners experiences and knowledge rather than that of the speaker. The details of the goblet for instance cannot be translated as easily.
Lies cannot be told in the God Tongue because one cannot convey ideas that they have not experienced. For instance if the speaker attempts to express the fact that they did not kill someone in the God Tongue, the reception for the listener will be that the speaker did what they actually did to the person in question rather than what their words would be saying.
If an individual is under the complete belief that a situation occurred, that they broke the cup, then at that point they would be able to convey that 'lie' since they hold it to be an absolute truth.
If the listener has never experienced the concept that the speaker is referring to and has no experiences that relate to that experience, then the listener receives an incomprehensible message. Even if the listener only has a partial connection to the concept being related, their mind will work with what it has in order to provide a close translation. For instance if someone had never seen the ocean but has the notion of a pond, then their mind would supply the translation of a huge pond when the speaker says ocean.
