#decoding ancient lost languages

technically you gave her a thesaurus but you do you

[taniahylian]

Vertin and Esperanto

So, first of all, there'll be spoilers for chapter 7 of reverse 1999 under the line. If you haven't finished it, I suggest you to come back to read it after you do.

Alright, here we go.

First, let's talk about the incantation Marcus recovered from Isolde's mind, the one Arcana spoke.

It's an incantation in a language that, Ulrich said, Laplace has no records of. Literally, Enigma argued that decoding it in 24 hours was impossible precisely because they didn't have the language or any clue as to what it could mean.

And yet...

Vertin can read it. Naturally. As if it was her first language. And not only that, she also adds that the incantation that unlocks the suitcase is in the same language.

And what language is it, you ask? Well, irl it's Esperanto.

However, it's doubtful that the foundation would've no records of Esperanto, so it's only logical to assume that this language doesn't exist in the game in the same way as it does irl. In fact, it's likely the original language of arcanum. However, knowing it's Esperanto, we can get some in-game clues about it.

There are mainly two ppl who use this language. The first is Vertin. Now, we don't really see her cast many incantations, but the few she does cast are in Esperanto.

Why is this relevant? Well, because it seems most arcanists cast incantations in their native language. Sonetto uses italian, Kaalaa uses Hindi, Sophia uses Greek, etc. What's interesting is that, even though Sonetto has resided in the Foundation since she was very young, and speaks English fluently, she still uses Italian. Maybe because arcanum only works if it somehow connects with the arcanist's own roots, or something like that.

This implies Vertin's native language, aka mother tongue, is... Esperanto. But who taught it to her? Was it her mother? Is there any character that naturally speaks this language?

Well... yes, there is.

When Vertin agrees to joing Manus Vindictae in chapter 2, Arcana is pleased and says the following:

However, although the text translates it to English, what she actually says out loud is bonvenon hejmen, which is, you guessed it, Esperanto.

And this isn't the last time she does it. Later, in the same chapter, when Vertin is reunited with her team and is about the leave the manus, Arcana says this before teleporting away:

Again, the text translates it, but what she actually says is "adiaŭ", which again is in Esperanto. What's interesting, however, is that in these two ocassions she's not using incantations, but simply speaking... kind of implying it's her native language.

Now, Arcana is a very ancient being, I think we can easily deduce this. Not only that, but her name is very similar to arcanum/arcanists. And she even speaks about how the the "first magic circle" came to be, so I wouldn't be surprised if she's somehow related to the origins of arcanum.

So... what if Esperanto is the original language of arcanum? Maybe that's why powerful spells, like the storm immunity ritual, are in this lost language. Although it's not the only one.

That's right, the teleportation arcane skil, Aferoj Around, is also in Esperanto. Not only that, but it's described as "an advanced arcane skill" both times it's mentioned.

However, what's interesting here is that the Foundation and Zeno know this skill. In fact, they even have a number for it. So, how could they not know the language of the storm immunity ritual? Well, I lied. Because the only reason Laplace had the correct pronunciation and spelling of the storm immunity incantation was because of paper sent to Lucy by the "White Marble House", which seems to be an independent and very important faction within the foundation, of which we know nothing about.

But that's a theory for another time. For now I'd just like to conclude saying that I think Vertin's mother taught the language to her (or maybe she was born knowing it somehow?), wether her mother is Arcana or someone else with great knowledge of arcanum (personally I think Bessmert), or maybe even both.

Thanks for reading! Let me know what you think!

[linguisticdiscovery]

A lost Canaanite language called Amorite has been decoded thanks to the discovery of bilingual tablets, similar to the way the Rosetta Stone helped scholars decipher Egyptian hieroglyphs.

The tablets were written in Amorite and Akkadian using the cuneiform script. Prior to the discovery of these tablets there was such little written evidence for Amorite that some scholars doubted whether it even existed. Amorite was a Canaanite language related to Hebrew, in the Semitic language family.

Pretty cool, Amorite? 😅

TW BLOOD AND CREEPY EYES!….and skeleton..

More Containment Breach AU stuff! (AU belongs to @/teefsintheweb) ❤️✨ (vid is a funny bc the angle I drew Skurse in reminded me of that one meme)

Subject 1230s main goal was to regain its lost power, after being entombed for so long they’ve become weak and desperately needed a new host. Fortunately for it, researchers discovered their long forgotten crypt that if they finished decoding the ancient texts on it (in an unknown alien language) they would have learned to never expose this creature to a living being.

Not only will the host be used as a puppet, it will forcibly make them consume others. The host’s personality and body could change drastically hours after possession. eternal bleeding is the first symptom as its body will begin to PAINFULLY change to accommodate it to the entity’s liking.

It’s very intelligent and will use the hosts old personality (and consciousness) to keep itself safe while it bids its time in regeneration. It’s known to be quite charming to specific people. reasons unknown. A majority of the time the entity prefers solitude in its blood chamber.

Any form of physical contact from the wrong person will lead to the release of 1230s entity form of “Skurse” a 12ft skeletal figure that is very aggressive. Music encrypted with incantations can mellow the entity out. Not much info is known for Skurse since they rarely ever speak. they’re animalistic behavior wise.

[the other forms have no info at this time bc those would only “unlock” if they eat enough ppl lmao] it’d basically be the super bad ending if ADUMA shows up lmao

Trying to read texts after I just woke up feels like decoding an ancient language lost to time

[mitchipedia]

Archeologists conclude that 4,000-year-old stone tablets discovered in the 1980s in Iraq are key to translating a previously lost Canaanite language called “Amorite.”

"… the tablets seem to be a sort of ‘tourist guidebook" for ancient Akkadian speakers who needed to learn Amorite. One notable passage is a list of Amorite gods that compares them with corresponding Mesopotamian gods, and another passage details welcoming phrases. ‘There are phrases about setting up a common meal, about doing a sacrifice, about blessing a king,’ Cohen said. ’There is even what may be a love song. … It really encompasses the entire sphere of life.’"

Faerie Linguists

Faerie linguists are a special and fascinating subset of the fantastical world. People frequently portray these legendary creatures as linguistic experts, capable of comprehending and speaking a myriad of tongues, both magical and human. Their communication proficiency allows them to create understanding and harmony across various magical worlds by bridging gaps between species. These linguists are renowned for their extraordinary capacity to communicate with others via language, which is a major plot point in many stories. People generally describe faerie linguists as small, ethereal beings with a strong affinity for the natural world and the paranormal. People claim that faerie linguists possess a natural aptitude for languages, understanding even the smallest differences in tone and meaning from birth. People typically attribute their magical powers and keen senses to their ability to sense the hidden meaning behind words and symbols. Their knowledge of language extends beyond spoken words; they are perceptive of nonverbal cues like gestures, attitudes, and even silence, which can convey a lot.

Tales frequently depict faerie linguists as diplomats and mediators, using their linguistic skills to settle disputes and broker agreements between various racial and geographical groups. Their abilities are extremely useful for preserving harmony and collaboration, particularly in environments full of many species, each with its own language and traditions. In addition to speaking with animals and decoding old texts, faerie linguists are also capable of deciphering the language of the elements, such as the wind's whispers or the sea's music. Their capacity to engage with the natural environment and its multitude of voices emphasizes their responsibility as stewards of harmony and balance. A faerie linguist's duties frequently go beyond simple translation. People regard them as guardians of wisdom and customs, preserving the cultural legacy and oral histories of their communities. By ensuring the generations pass down songs, stories, and rituals, they preserve the wisdom of the past through their efforts. For their cultures to remain cohesive and to feel an identity, cultural preservation is essential. By preserving ancient customs, Faerie linguists assist their communities in comprehending their history and navigating the challenges of the modern world. Literature and mythology describe faerie linguists as inquisitive, daring, and captivated by the mysteries of their surroundings. Frequently, we see them embarking on adventures to uncover lost languages or decipher historical prophecies. Their travels are full of difficulties, but they overcome them with grace and creativity thanks to their fluency in multiple languages and sharp sense of humor. Their travels frequently result in the revelation of secrets or the discovery of hidden truths that have the ability to alter the fate of their planets.

The idea of faerie linguists emphasizes how crucial knowledge and communication are to any civilization. It confirms the idea that language is an incredibly potent instrument for empathy and connection, able to break down boundaries and bring diverse people together. These mythological characters serve as a reminder of the elegance and intricacy of language use in our everyday lives, honoring the art of language. They show us that language is more than just words; it's a way for us to communicate our innermost feelings and ideas, as well as a way to connect with other people. Faerie linguists encourage us to value and investigate the diverse range of languages that comprise our worldwide community by viewing them through a fantastical perspective. They promote an inclusive and respectful environment by encouraging us to pay attention to, learn about, and value the various voices that influence our world. In this sense, the myth of the faerie linguists continues to captivate our thoughts and impart everlasting communication skills. Their experiences serve as a reminder that language, in all its forms, is a potent weapon for promoting peace and cultivating understanding. Understanding and empathy are at the core of all meaningful encounters.

Decode Atlantean

Written by: Deborah Barnes Published in: Disney Adventures Collector’s Issue! Atlantis: The Lost Empire Volume 11, Number 6 (pg.46-47). Publisher: Buena Vista Magazines Inc. Publication date: circa July 2001.

Decode Atlantean

Learn the language of a lost civilization.

Atlanteans have their own language—very different from the languages of the surface world. Use this handy guide to read and chat like an Atlantean!

Atlanteans communicate by telepathy (that means they can read each others' minds). They don't spend too much time chatting. But they do have their own language. A lot of modern languages come from the ancient Atlantean language. That's why you'll hear Atlanteans use sounds that are common to most of the world's languages, like "ah," "tuh" and "puh." But you wont hear sounds like "f" and "v," which are used mostly in English and a few other languages. The written Atlantean language doesn't recognize capital letters, and there's no punctuation. The alphabet consists of symbols for for the same 26 letters in our alphabet, plus symbols for "CH," "SH" and "TH." Atlanteans read from left to right, then right to left, then left to right—sort of zigzagging down the page. So you would read the first line left to right, then the second right to left, the third left to right and so on.

Atlanean Alphabet

Think you've got it? Try writing a note to a friend in the space below using Atlantean characters.

Speak Like an Atlantean

Want to impress your friends? Wrap your tongue around a few of these simple Atlantean phrases:

Hello: SOO-puhk

Goodbye: GAH-moak

Yes: teeg

No: kwahm

Please (to one person): BEH-kat

Please (to a group): BEH-ket-yoakh

Thanks (to one): PAH-gen

Thanks (to a group): PAH-gekh

What is your name?: mekh-AH-nik MOH-khin EH-seh-toat duhp

My name is...: AH-nik KAH-gihn ___[name here]___ EH seh-toat

What time is it?: Lohg DAH-rim EH-seh-toat duhp

All right! (as in "Good job!" or "Well done!"): Maht

Wow! (As in "That's surprising"): YAHD-loog

Cool! (As in "That's good"): BAH-deg

Have fun!: KWEE-yim

I had a great time!: KWEE-yim-limik

If you want to be ant Atlantean code master, check out the book Code Word: Atlantis for lots more codes and a cool decoder!

Notes:

Of course mostly this is used as a substitution cipher rather than a true language. You can see the letters for CH, SH, TH are literally those two letters. I used to think the spiral-shaped writing system in Artemis Fowl was ridiculous but directionality is actually much more arbitrary than you'd think, anything can work! Boustrophedon style (written in a zigzag) is comparatively mundane by comparison.

What an absolutely miraculous find! It's like a foreign language phrase book. Wonderful.

TMC Institute of Wonder.

I dream of a place a place unlike any other, a realm I know only as the TMC Institute of Wonder. In the dream, I’m walking through gates that seem to breathe, opening wide to welcome me into this sanctuary of endless curiosity. The air is crisp with a faint smell of old books and morning rain, and ahead of me, a towering structure rises, part stone, part shimmering glass, its spires reaching toward the heavens. I feel a deep sense of belonging here as if I’ve known this place all my life.

The path unfolds before me, leading to the Great Hall of Questions. It’s vast, yet warm, lined with towering bookshelves that seem to go on forever, each shelf filled with volumes in every language, from illuminated medieval manuscripts to sleek digital screens. There’s a gentle hum of voices, of debates and musings, like the quiet conversation of the curious. At the centre, an enormous globe spins lazily, etched with continents and constellations, but there are strange symbols on it, too, cryptographic markings that I feel I should understand but don’t not yet.

In the dream, I feel drawn toward a spiral staircase that leads me up to the Tower of Paradoxes. Here, bookshelves curve and twist, meeting at odd angles, and the rooms seem to defy space, expanding and contracting with each step. I walk past students poring over ancient texts, philosophers debating as night fades into morning. They’re tackling questions that hang in the air like riddles, and the energy is electric there’s no urgency, only the thrill of embracing the unknown, of wrestling with the mysteries of the world.

I move down a corridor lined with billowing flags of every colour and design. This must be the Vexillology Gallery, where symbols from every culture and era hang like proud reminders of humanity’s shared stories. I stand beneath these flags, tracing patterns of stars, stripes, and mythical creatures with my eyes, feeling as if each banner holds a secret waiting to be discovered. Some flags I know, others feel unfamiliar but strangely resonant. I realise that each one holds a message, not just of nations but of ideas, principles, and forgotten dreams.

Next, I find myself in a sleek, high tech wing the Cryptology Wing. Here, students are huddled over screens, deciphering codes and crafting their own encryptions. I can sense the excitement in the air; it’s almost tangible. I pick up a dusty scroll from a nearby table, its letters written in some ancient script. There’s a rush of energy as I begin to decode it, feeling a connection to people from centuries past who shared this same thrill, this same dedication to unlocking secrets.

I wander into a softly lit place, the Hall of Myth and Memory, where the air is thick with incense and the stories of long-lost civilisations. I sit in a darkened room where tales of gods, legends, and heroes come alive in swirling colours and shadows on the walls. Here, the ancient world whispers its secrets, and I find myself drifting through scenes from other times and places, from epic battles to the quiet moments of love and loss. These stories feel like treasures, too precious to be lost to time, each one a piece of the grand puzzle of humanity. TMC Institute of Wonder

I walk outside into an open-air garden the Psychology Garden where flowers and plants are arranged like human emotions, each corner dedicated to joy, grief, love, or resilience. Paths weave between ponds, benches, and little groves where students sit in quiet conversation or contemplation. I pause at a fountain shaped like a brain, water trickling through its grooves, symbolising the flow of thought, the mystery of mind and spirit. There’s a sense of peace here, an invitation to understand myself and others more deeply.

Finally, I find my way to a circular amphitheater, the Debate Coliseum. It’s buzzing with people from every background, and on the stage, speakers passionately present ideas, rebuttals, and counterpoints. It feels like a grand celebration of knowledge and curiosity, where every viewpoint finds its moment and every voice its echo. The debates are intense but respectful, as if everyone knows that the journey to understanding is more important than the final answer.

As I stand there, taking in the scene, I feel a sense of completion, of having arrived at a place that embodies everything I’ve ever searched for. The TMC Institute of Wonder isn’t just a place of learning it’s a place of “awakening”, a sanctuary for minds that love the chase, the wonder, the endless pursuit of questions. And just as I begin to feel at home, I wake up, carrying a faint memory of this place with me, a reminder of the world that could be, a world where wonder never ends.

Ancient Codes: The World’s Most Puzzling Undeciphered Languages #indus #script #mystery #unknown Here are some intriguing facts about scripts and languages that have mystified scholars and linguists: 1. The Voynich Manuscript: Written in an unknown script and an undeciphered language, the Voynich Manuscript is one of the most mysterious books in history. Dating back to the early 15th century, it contains illustrations of plants, astronomical diagrams, and what appear to be recipes. Despite extensive study, no one has been able to definitively decode its meaning or identify the language it uses. 2. The Phaistos Disc Discovered in 1908 on the Greek island of Crete, the Phaistos Disc is a circular clay tablet imprinted with symbols arranged in a spiral. The symbols represent a unique script that remains undeciphered to this day. The purpose and meaning of the disc are still a mystery, making it one of the most enigmatic artifacts from the ancient world. 3. Rongorongo: Rongorongo is a system of glyphs found on Easter Island, and it is one of the few The Rosetta Stonef a writing system that has yet to be deciphered. The symbols were likely used by the Rapa Nui people, but the knowledge of how to read them was lost, possibly due to cultural disruption or colonization. Today, scholars are still trying to understand its structure and meaning. 4. The Lost Language of the Indus Valley Civilization: The Indus Valley Civilization, which flourished around 2500 BCE in what is now Pakistan and northwest India, developed a script that remains undeciphered. Despite numerous attempts to understand the inscriptions found on seals and pottery, the language and script have resisted all efforts at translation, leaving a significant gap in our understanding of this ancient civilization. 5. The Rosetta Stone: While not mysterious in the sense of being undeciphered, the Rosetta Stone is an iconic artifact that unlocked the mysteries of Egyptian hieroglyphs. Discovered in 1799, it contains the same text in three different scripts: Greek, Demotic, and Egyptian hieroglyphs. The discovery and eventual deciphering of the Rosetta Stone in 1822 by Jean-François Champollion allowed historians to finally understand the ancient Egyptian language, revealing much about their culture and history. These examples illustrate how scripts and languages can both preserve and obscure knowledge across centuries, leaving behind puzzles that continue to challenge modern scholars.

"Adnas' Journey in the World of Libaas"

Unveiling the Mysteries of Adans and Libaas: A Journey Through Ancient Traditions

In the remote corners of our world, where the tapestry of history weaves intricate patterns of culture and tradition, lie the enchanting realms of Adans and Libaas. These two fascinating concepts, though obscure to many, hold profound significance in the heritage of various ancient civilizations. This article embarks on a journey to unravel the mysteries surrounding Adans and Libaas, exploring their origins, meanings, and enduring impact on contemporary society.

Adans: The Keeper of Ancestral Knowledge

The term "Adans" refers to an ancient custodian of wisdom and traditions, often revered in various indigenous cultures as a repository of ancestral knowledge. In many societies, Adans were the storytellers, historians, and spiritual guides who preserved the oral histories, myths, and legends passed down through generations. Their role was not merely to recount tales but to embody the collective memory and identity of their people.

Historically, Adans were seen as the pillars of their communities, ensuring that the wisdom of the past was never lost. They played a crucial role in educating the younger generations, imparting moral values, survival skills, and cultural heritage. The knowledge they held was vast and varied, ranging from medicinal practices and agricultural techniques to cosmology and spiritual rituals.

In contemporary times, the concept of Adans has evolved but remains relevant. Modern-day Adans can be found in various forms, such as historians, anthropologists, and cultural custodians who continue to explore, document, and preserve the rich tapestry of human heritage. Their work helps bridge the gap between past and present, ensuring that the valuable lessons and traditions of our ancestors continue to inspire and guide us.

Libaas: The Attire of Cultural Identity

"Libaas," derived from ancient languages, translates to clothing or attire. However, in many cultures, it signifies much more than just garments. Libaas encompasses the cultural identity, social status, and spiritual beliefs of individuals and communities. It is a visual representation of one's heritage and often carries deep symbolic meanings.

Throughout history, the style, fabric, and adornments of Libaas have varied widely across regions and epochs, reflecting the diverse ways in which people express their identities and values. In some cultures, specific types of Libaas are worn during rituals, ceremonies, and significant life events, marking important transitions and celebrations.

For instance, traditional Libaas in certain African tribes is intricately woven with patterns that tell stories of the wearer's lineage and achievements. In South Asian cultures, vibrant and elaborate Libaas are worn during festivals and weddings, symbolizing joy, prosperity, and communal unity. Indigenous communities in the Americas often use Libaas adorned with feathers, beads, and other natural elements to connect with their spiritual beliefs and honor their connection to nature.

In the modern world, Libaas continues to be a powerful medium of self-expression and cultural pride. Fashion designers and cultural enthusiasts draw inspiration from traditional Libaas to create contemporary styles that celebrate heritage while embracing innovation. This fusion of the old and new not only keeps ancient traditions alive but also allows for a dynamic and evolving expression of identity.

The Interplay of Adans and Libaas

The interplay between Adans and Libaas is a testament to the holistic nature of cultural preservation. Adans, as the guardians of knowledge, often convey the significance of Libaas through their teachings and storytelling. They help decode the intricate symbols and meanings embedded in traditional attire, ensuring that each piece of Libaas is understood and appreciated in its full cultural context.

Conversely, Libaas serves as a tangible manifestation of the wisdom and values upheld by Adans. When individuals don traditional Libaas, they are not merely wearing clothes but are embodying the history, beliefs, and spirit of their ancestors. This symbiotic relationship between Adans and Libaas highlights the importance of preserving both intangible knowledge and tangible heritage to maintain the continuity of cultural identity.
