My language is disintegrating, my refugees are mute

Ode to the whiteboard letter slog, say like push and pull politics:

Iraqis number five (4) and they are mute (means no speaking). He is (no) They are (no no no) WE are from Baghdad.  My Haitians numbers one (say like won) and she isn’t (is not) mute(,) but she was two (2) months (in the) past. She (can) speaks Creole and French. Her from is Port-au-Prince. My Burmese is mute (say like miyewt) but is breaking out of (her, not his) giggle shell to spell a home country in BURMA. Her from is Burma. My Congolese is one (1) and she is mute. Today is was the first day of class again. And I say like ask a question with the auxiliary form of ‘do’ before you(r country) do that.
