Xenolinguistics, defined in science fiction as the study of alien languages, is re-defined in the context of psychedelics and communication with the Other. Psychedelics can enable a broad and paradoxical spectrum of linguistic phenomena from the unspeakability of mystical experience to the eloquence of the songs of the shaman or curandera.
