This is literally Telegram stickers.
- amelius 4y agoAre these stickers inline? It's not a language if you can't make a sentence.
- fennecfoxy 4y agoAre glyphs going from left to right the general rule now? It's not a language otherwise? Pretty sure there are a tonne of pre-Western languages that buck this trend. People tend to use stickers in amongst regular text in a way that's more "I could write out how I feel/what I'm going to do to you/what you're going to do to me, but instead I will _show_ you". Take the regular language in between stickers as the grammar/conjunctions as conjunctions are to regular language.
- klntsky 4y agoNo, they are not. But almost no one uses emoji to compose sentences anyway.
- still_grokking 4y agoAlmost no one, besides some country with the biggest population on earth. ;-) Btw: http://www.emojidick.com/ http://www.emojidick.com/
- amelius 4y agoI've noticed that emoji and stickers are absolutely not used in the same way. People often combine multiple emoji to express certain things that can't be expressed with a single emoji (and too difficult to find/create a sticker for). Stickers are also much less subtle and more in your face, and therefore not appreciated in the same way.
- behnamoh 4y agoalthough i’ve noticed mostly human emojis can be used consciously. the others (tree, objects, etc) are suggested when you type a word but almost never selected to replace words in a sentence. So i don’t know who really uses them.
- celticninja 4y agoNot full sentences perhaps but there is a reason the Egyptians used hieroglyphics, and a reason we say a picture is worth a thousand words, so adding some to a text message is very common
- tiborsaas 4y agoI had to make my girlfriend stop doing that because I couldn't decipher what she was saying, it was like +30% extra information I thought was decoration :D Also, on Tinder bios emoji soup is a thing.
- geek_at 4y agoMost messengers have these stickers too
