Synopsis: Ytin'he'ny -- those who are changed

Language is nothing but an agreement between people. What if it is suddenly broken without those who do realizing it? What if a steadily growing part of the world's population can no longer follow the old agreements?

When Karin and Stephen visit the funeral of their estranged rich, and very eccentric mother, they don't know that this day changes their life. After the funeral which was held in a language she constructed, they as well as everyone who attended find themselves unable to understand the languages they used to know and only able to communicate in this language.

Excerpt: Ytin'he'ny -- those who are changed

When he told about her bad state, I was not sure whether to laugh or to cry. To laugh because she was a bitch to me and to everyone else in the family, or to cry because I loved her despite that. The last times we saw, she argued with us about tour lifestyles. She of all people. The person whose picture is in the most famous online-dictionary the illustration for the article on Obsessive compulsive disorder. She seems to think that we are worthless just because we occasionally like to party and, well, occasionally the parties are wild enough to make national news. Just because we do not live as almost-celibate as she did. Just because we actually have lifes, which do not happen in front of the computer. If she died, it would not only mean an end of the tirades and accusations, but that we would eventually have access to her fortune. There were children of millionaires who live a more luxurious life than me, one of the children of one of the few women in the Forbes 500 list.
