MORDVIN is a story about Mother Tongue, you know, the first language you learned as a child to communicate your thoughts. This is very important if you grow up to speak five languages, including Ancient Aramaic. 

MORDVIN begins like this: "My wife and I both teach at M.I.T. She's a Senior Researcher and Professor of Molecular Biology."

MORDVIN ends like this: 

"Me llamo Diego (my name is Diego). Mi papa y mi mama (my parents) no entienden nada (don’t understand anything). Son ignorantes (they’re ignorant). Lo peor (the worst) es el arte (is art). Son nulos (they’re hopeless). Para la navidad (for Christmas) he pedido un glockenspiel (I asked for a glockenspiel). Ay (lemme tell you) la vida no va a ser fàcil (life isn’t going to be easy)."

What happens in the middle? Kind of strange, sounds like a muffled "Poo-tee-weet" with glasspacks...
