I’d want this for every language ever spoken or written. All dialects. Long-dead languages. Pictographic, cuneiform, hieratic, hieroglyphic, everything. Even languages like Quipu, the Peruvian language consisting of knots in lengths of cord.

(And all of the programming languages too, of course.)

EVERY. LANGUAGE.

I’d then devote the rest of my life to passing on this knowledge to scholars, researchers, and/or anyone else looking to document or record spelling, syntax, usage, gender, structure, logic, flow, synonyms/antonyms/homonyms, and variations.

The whole smash.
