I used to collect statements of the form "I <heart> [LANGUAGE]" in
various [LANGUAGE]s (especially constructed ones, but that's my own
craziness). So I have "tlhIngan Hol vI♡" and "Ob ♡ob Volapüki" and "Bíi
♡ le Láadaneth wa", as well as "Rwy'n ♡ Cymraeg" and "अहं संस्कृते ♡ामि "
(My mozilla still shows Devanagari "i" on the wrong side, oh well. And
remember, objects of verbs of affection go in locative and not
accusative!) and so forth... I tend to read them as "ob HEART-ob
Volapüki" and so on.
