🚨 We never understood the Minions, but we understood them in every sentence.

That's not a coincidence.

🍌 Many people think that "Minionese" is just a funny language.

But behind it is more complicated, because it is the design of a language that does not mean that humans understand it.

The director chose not to create a grammar like Elvish or Klingon, but to use improvisation, mixing words from many languages - Spanish, Italian, Indonesian, Korean, English and more - to form a language with no guidelines, but full of "familiar words."

🧠 The human brain doesn't have to understand every word to understand all its meaning.

When we hear familiar words, along with facial expressions, intonations, and gestures, the brain automatically fills the rest of the void. This is why we laugh at Minions' jokes, barely knowing what they say.

More interestingly, the Minion "voice" is also designed to resemble the sound that adults use to speak to babies, using consonants like B and P, which are the first sounds humans learn from childhood.

As a result, the emotional brain responds before reason, so we feel kind to them.

Even creating chaos in front of it.

🎭 The creators were also inspired by Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton's silent movie that proved that humans do not communicate primarily in words, but in tone, rhythm, and body language.

When these elements run simultaneously, the language is almost no longer necessary.

🌍, and even as an "alien language," the team still had to redub virtually every country to avoid inappropriate homologues and adapt details to the culture of the audience, some versions of which have solved new animations to match the communication of the people of that country.

👿 In the end, the language of Minions was never created for us to "understand."

But it's built to make our brains "believe themselves to understand."

And perhaps that is the most powerful form of communication ever created by man. 🖤🍌
