"The essence of language is a kind of symbol. According to our archaeology, most of the oldest languages form words by similarity, and then gradually evolve into the form of words. This mysterious language does not construct characters by similarity."
Said Lord Alberton, looking at the Serafino dictionary and the expansion of language in the great void.
"Serafino language is not based on words formed by letters, but each single letter has a unique meaning. The so-called words are actually a combination of different letter meanings."
He casually found a page in the projected dictionary and opened it. The word on it means leaf, which is composed of three letters.
"For example, the first two letters of this word mean tree. The first letter means tall, the second letter means wood. As the name suggests, tall wood means tree, and the third letter means leaf. It can be said that this way of word formation gives this language a sense of rhythm."
Each letter has its own pronunciation and meaning. When it is combined in this way, it will produce a wonderful reaction and take the initiative in the rhythm of the language, rather than being limited by fixed vocabulary and pronunciation like common language.
After reading some dictionaries, Mr. Alberton quickly grasped some basic features of Serafino.
"The letters of this language have their own pronunciation and meaning. When forming words, they only need to be read out according to the original pronunciation, which is very convenient for learners. But at the same time, the pronunciation is not unique. Many letters have the same pronunciation, while some initials only have different tones."
With thousands of basic pronunciation and different tone changes, this kind of writing has nearly ten thousand kinds of pronunciation in temperament alone, and the characteristics of homophony and different characters are easy to show in poetry. Mr. Alberton can't help thinking about how bright a picture this kind of language poetry will be.
"Because of this, this language has a large number of letters and many combinations. It's a language that can't be deciphered by the outside world. It's amazing that you can compile a Serafino dictionary to such a fine level, saffros."
Upon hearing the praise from Mr. Alberton, saffroth was stunned and nodded slightly. You can see that there is Xu Jingying in his eyes. This is the first time that his work has been affirmed for many years. The hard work of the past ten years seems to disappear in an instant. Saffroth trembles slightly and seems to be enduring something.
After hearing what Mr. Alberton said and carefully reading the Serafino dictionary, Lena noticed that there are some similarities between this language and Chinese.
Unfortunately, Lena is not so lucky. Neither Serafino nor the mysterious language at the bottom of the big hole is really Chinese. Otherwise, Lena might be able to read it alone and get a lot of information.
"It is for this reason that I believe that Serafino and the words at the bottom of the great void share the same source."
Mr. Alberton explained.
"From the perspective of glyph, Serafino language is similar to this kind of writing in form, and the similarity of several letters is more than 50%. This is a phenomenon that needs to be paid attention to in the study of linguistics, because it may represent that the two languages have the same origin, and the difference is the evolution in the subsequent spread process."
Moreover, from the present time, Serafino is likely to be the product of the fusion of lingua franca and this mysterious language, because there are many words in Serafino that have similar pronunciation and meaning to lingua franca.
"According to Serafino, we may be able to interpret the language to some extent, but this raises another problem."
Said Monsieur bragus.
"How did the people of the Midgar half plane come into contact with the most primitive Serafino language, and why did they produce such a language?"
"Yes, communication is an essential element for the integration of languages. If the people of middlegar only found similar words in the ruins, it would be very difficult for them to integrate their own language with the language with different word formation. Only through long-term communication and national integration between the two languages, can this kind of independence be formed The language of the special
Lord Calvados said that her words surprised several other high-level mages.
It is true that the semiplane of meadgal was separated from the thematic plane for thousands of years, but that was also a matter of the ancient magic empire. The language used in the words at the bottom of the great void was at least used in the divine period 7000 years ago, and there were thousands of years between them.
If there is a certain group of people who have been using this ancient language, why is it that only the midgal semiplane has such a situation, while the rest of the semiplane has no trace of these people?
it is a pity that the midgal semiplane collapsed as early as ten years ago, annihilated in the endless void, even if you want to investigate, There are too few relevant data left on the theme plane for people to find any clues from them.
"The collapse of the midgal half plane may be related to the cause of formation of these characters, which we never thought of before, because if people who use this kind of divine script appear in the midgal half plane, as Lord Calvados said, it means that they may have mastered the secret of surpassing the era of ancient magic Empire, while those who use modern magic script may not Things that are difficult to explain by law may have unknown destructive power, leading to collapse. "Said Lord Alberton, meditating.
At this time, Lena suddenly thought of Dana's parents, a pair of scholars who studied the hemiplane ecology. They found some special magic reactions in the Midgar hemiplane, and then they rushed there to investigate. They just met the collapse of the hemiplane and died here.
Is the special magic reaction the throb from a relic?
Are the people who use the ancient language still in the midgal half plane at that time, and are they the cause of the fall of the midgal half plane?
Lena shook his head. He didn't mention it directly, because he believed that all the legendary mages here must have thought about it. But now, the mages have no way to carefully investigate what Christine and his wife found. They can only focus on studying the words in front of them.
Only by deciphering these words from 7000 years ago can we analyze the secrets buried at the bottom of the great void.
