Introduction: Overview

Sirens, despite having the body of humans from the waist up and fish-like tails downwards, are not to be confused with Mermaids. The difference being that Sirens are semiaquatic and need to breathe air while Mermaids are fully aquatic thus able to breathe underwater. Sirens also possess wing like fins that allow them to glide for short distances above the surface of the large, possibly infinite, ocean that they call home.

Sirenian is the language spoken by these Sirens of Mortus, the realm of the dead. Despite their humanoid looks from the waist up and ability to mimic human calls and singing, the Sirenian language is anything but such. Features of Sirenian include:

A large (possibly the largest) vowel inventory with some distinctions not being found in any other human languages.

Conversely, a complete lack of consonants.

An intricately designed logosyllabic writing system that is either tattooed into flesh or carved on wood or stone.
