A linguist nitpicks droid language in The Force Awakens

allthingslinguistic:

I’m still trying to make sense of why BB8 in Star Wars speaks in bleeps and bloops, so you have to teach its language to humans rather than making it just speak a human language.  

(I haven’t even gotten into the alien languages yet, but here are a few other people’s thoughts on them.)

Because it’s cuter this way, obvs.
