sure you can make a language that's grammatically unambiguous, thats mostly just busywork removing duplicates in a dictionary
but can you make a language inherently contextually unambiguous? take for example that meme which says "you" and "me, an intellectual"
do you, the reader, infer by the contrast that i'm saying you're not an intellectual? or do you logically conclude that by the omission nothing can be assumed of you?
i think that goes beyond written language

@witchfynder_finder @squirrel the only language that tries to capture all that nuance is ikthuil, and it's impossible to actually speak

@lizardsquid @squirrel "No person, including Quijada [the author], is known to be able to speak Ithkuil fluently."
WELL, THEN!

@squirrel tbh this sort of thing is basically impossible because language as a whole is as much built upon what we -don't- say as it is on what we -do- say. There are entire fields of study dedicated to understanding what we mean by omission. Unless you want to go out of you way to specify every single little detail, there will always be some ambiguity.
Honestly we, as people, are too lazy for any natural language to ever be unambiguous. =P
