Language of a word



: ) is it possible to have a language with only one word ?

I am dubbing for my current film Bangaru Kodi Petta.  Dubbing is where one re-records the voices of the actors, in a clean studio environment.  An actor watches his or her own performance and then repeats the dialogues to match their lip movement.  I have always believed that its not important what or how...but the intent we say with.  That a single sound could have tremendous emotional power... 

This belief got strengthened during the Dubbing process.  The discovery was how many different ways you can say one word and how the meaning changes?  How it changes if that sound comes from your stomach or the throat, or when your head is turned to side or when you start the word abruptly and end it by pulling the ending sound.  What happens when you take a breath and say word or breathe in the middle.  The emotion changes if you sit vs standing, imagine a person 5 feet away to 20 feet away.... It’s amazing how the emotional energy fluctuates with the way ONE word is spoken.

Now imagine how many words we speak in one day....
