This article missed the most interesting part.

In Chinese we say it's "book from heaven"("天书"), for incomprehensible writings. That's the end of the this English...->Geek->Chinese->heaven sequence

For speakings, yes it's "bird language" ("鸟语"), but the "bird" here is used as a euphemism for male genital.

BTW Chinese is an analytic language, so the grammar is actually very easy.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_language

And to step sideways and combine the two, ever hear of the Language of the Birds?

> In mythology, medieval literature and occultism, the language of the birds is postulated as a mystical, perfect divine language, green language, Adamic language, Enochian, angelic language or a mythical or magical language used by birds to communicate with the initiated.

https://bigthink.com/strange-maps/362-greek-to-me-mapping-mu... has a DAG that includes Chinese -> Heavenly Script.

I read that article a while ago, and until a moment ago assumed this discussion was about it. "Atlas Obscura" and "Strange Maps" are similar enough that I got them mixed up.

Yes but they speak Hebrew in heaven, so the chain continues.

EDIT: Looks like Hebrew speakers use Chinese, so we're in a loop.
