How do two people sustain a relationship when they cannot speak the same tongue? - maybe love is the language they are communicating in.
It's actually intriguing for me to observe because actions becomes the dialect that both trade conversations in (well the couple I witnessed).

give examples

sorry posted twice

I'm sorry. . .but what examples do you want me to render?

The only example I can relay is a personal account. I only observed one couple in such a predicament. The man spoke Greek, the lady English, they were in-tuned with each other physically (based on their body language) but obviously not linguistically.

Its a matter of time.

The same way blind/dumb people fall in love with each other.
I think chemistry/communication takes place in the soul first before it manifests in the physical.

Interesting topic. I would think a relationship like that would be very intense because the couple would have to rely on all other senses therefore, sensing each other on a whole different level. There is much intensity and sharing even in silence.

Yes I believe that also but I was wondering after the initial attraction stage how does such a relationship with a huge barrier such as language differences survive but I guess that one party or better yet both will eventually begin to understand one anothers language.

Yeah I tend to agree, I like the explanation you rendered as well - their relationship will be sensual then and heavily dependent on aural imagery.

Well it's a feeling conveyed by the parties involved so yep you could say it's a "form of language".

Well it's not limited by dialect that's for sure.
