Nacirfa

To whom it may concern,

The national linguistics department of this small beloved country of ours has made a contribution to the government in bringing history alive. We understand for a fact that the government would like citizens to be one with their past traditions and know the country's roots. Their aim is to get citizens to appreciate and have a sense of love, thus in the long run, create harmonious environment. A long process indeed (and very detailed too), but with helping hands from different sects, it becomes less tedious.

The director of that department would be me. My team specializes in studying languages. From that, we can learn things about the type of people who spoke it and how they relate to others. In studying the English language, as spoken in our country, we came across artifacts written by scholars of the past. Many words we read were familiar with us but there were quite a few new looking ones. We believe the ones that are strange were on the brink of extinction. The department has gone into the matter and so far we could only derive the meaning of the word ' Nacirfa’ which is believed to be pronounced as Na-kir-fa which was basically a chant in the rain, at night. People of that time would relax their troubled minds by doing so, but it wasn’t healthy so they instead sat by rushing rivers or large fields. Anywhere that had sounds not man made. Today it has been adapted to mean that calming sounds of nature heard in the night. An example of its use:
The doctor prescribed nacirfa for the stressed out patients

Our language is changing and the old is getting buried away by the new .By keeping the old and the new, in tune with each other, we hope that it will help in keeping history alive. For now we ask you to add that word to the dictionary and help spread its use. At the moment this is our contribution to society.

Thanking you in advance,
National linguistic department director

Sometimes my life just sounds like surrealistic fiction being sold on clearance at the book store.
