Doublespeak, Newspeak, Oldspeak, and such. Help me out I don't it. Well I know newspeak is the new language, and oldspeak was the old. Newspeak was simplified as: good, notgood, verygood, and things like that. But did it represent anything? Doublespeak or doublethink, i think it was doublethink.

doublethink is to believe in to opposingthings at once. like being a diehard capitalist and a devout socialist at the same time. it is the essence of hypocricy.

oldspeak is english.

newspeak is an extremely simplified english. it is designed with the idea that a limited vocabulary means limited thought. and even if someone was against the government, the meanest thing they could say is "big brother is ungood!". that just sounds stupid.
