Absolutely Riveting
Absolutely riveting, at least to a linguist - the work on Naxi language. For your consideration:

As an outed linguist I really find the work there unabashedly a triple crown because I live and work in China (and America); I love Tibetan language and culture; and the development of a purely pictographic language representation which took place let us say roughly 1000 years ago, and was studied / documented extensively 300+ years ago is, well, very satisfying.
If one had but more time. Much more... O tempora...
