    • 2023 November 20, Ricard Guerrero, Mercè Berlanga and Carles Puche, “La llengua dels bacteris”, in Mètode:
      De l'emperador Akbar es conten moltes històries, sovint llegendes fomentades per ell mateix. Una de les menys conegudes és que volia esbrinar quina era la llengua origen de totes, la «llengua de Déu». Per saber-ho, va fer criar un grup d'infants anyals per mainaderes sord-mudes i, d'aquesta manera, esperava que els infants, en començar a parlar, ho fessin utilitzant la «llengua de Déu».
      Many stories are told about the Emperor Akbar, often legends promoted by himself. One of the lesser-known is that he wanted to know what was the origin of all languages, the "language of God". To find out, he had a group of children less than one year old raised by deaf-mute caretakers and, in this fashion, he hoped that when the children began to speak they would make use of the "language of God".
