3. Create a new language

Make up new words or create a new writing system!

Can you make words for ideas that don’t have words already? What words would your utopia need that we don't have?

How would you help somebody else to understand your new language?

Your language needn’t be words or writing; it could be gestures, noises, or pictures. How would it be used in your utopia?
