Yi
And so it was yesterday that I had a number of letters, including a "y," while playing Scrabble against Ben. I saw that there was nothing to do but possibly put my "y" down before an "i." I looked the word up.
"Yi...it's a word. It's a Loloish language."
Thinking that was funny, Ben said that if I could name where they speak this "Loloish language," he'd let me take the points.
I thought for a bit.
"The Loloish language," I pronounced, "is spoken in the Himalayan region."
The two of us laughed and looked it up online. Hence, I can tell you this time with certainty, that the Loloish language is spoken in the Himalayan region.
