Scene 501. The Secrets of the Serafino Language
"The essence of language is a symbol, according to our archaeology, most of the oldest languages are formed by likeness, and then gradually evolved into the form of words, but this mysterious language is not based on likeness to construct words."
Lord Alberton said, looking at the dictionary of the Serafino language and the extension of the language in the Great Hollow.
"The Serafino language is not based on words that form words with letters as the basic grammatical unit, but each single letter has a unique meaning, and the so-called words are actually a combination of different letter meanings."
He randomly found a page open from the projected dictionary, the word on which meant leaves, and was made up of three letters.
"For example, the first two letters of this word form the meaning of tree, where the first letter means tall, the second letter means wood, as the name suggests, tall wood is a tree, and the third letter means leaves, so to speak, it is precisely because of this method of word formation that this language has a sense of rhythm."
Each letter has its own pronunciation and meaning, and when combined, it produces a wonderful response and takes the initiative in the rhythm of the language, rather than being limited by fixed words and pronunciations like the lingua franca.
His Excellency Alberton briefly flipped through a few dictionaries and soon grasped some of the basic features of the Serafino language.
"The letters of this language have independent sounds and meanings, when forming words, you only need to read them aloud according to the original pronunciation, which is very convenient for learners, but at the same time, the pronunciation of the words is not unique, many letters have the same pronunciation, and some letters only have different tones."
With thousands of basic pronunciations and different intonation variations, this script has nearly 10,000 pronunciations in terms of rhythm alone, and the characteristics of homophones and different characters are easily revealed in poetry.
"Because of this, the number of letters and combinations of this language is a language that is difficult to decipher by the outside world, and it is remarkable that you have been able to compile the dictionary of the Serafino language to such a fine degree."
Hearing His Excellency Alberton's praise, Saphoros was stunned, and then nodded slightly, you can see that there is a little sparkle in his eyes, this is the first time that his work for many years has been affirmed, and the hard work of the past ten years seems to have disappeared in an instant, Saphoros trembled slightly, as if he was enduring something.
When Reiner heard what Lord Alberton said, he looked carefully at the Serafino dictionary and noticed that this language did have some similarities with Chinese.
It's a pity that Reiner is not so lucky, whether it is the Serafino language or the mysterious language at the bottom of the Great Hollow, it is not really Chinese, otherwise Reiner would be able to interpret it alone and obtain a lot of information.
"It is for this reason that I believe that the Serafino language has the same origin as the writing at the bottom of the Great Hollow."
Lord Alberton explained.
"In terms of glyphs, the Serafino language has a formal similarity with this script, and the similarity of several letters is more than 50 percent, which is a phenomenon that needs to be paid attention to in linguistic research, because it may mean that the origin of the two languages is the same, and the difference is the evolution in the subsequent transmission process."
And judging from the current time, it is very likely that the Serafino language is the product of a fusion of the lingua franca and this mysterious language, because there are many words in the Serafian language that are similar in pronunciation to the lingua franca, and their meanings are similar to that of the lingua franca.
"We may be able to interpret the language to some extent according to Serafino, but that raises another problem."
Lord Braggs spoke.
"How did the people of the Midgard Half-Plane come into contact with the most primitive Serafino language, and why did they come into being such a language?"
"Yes, if language wants to be integrated, communication is an indispensable element, if the people of Midgar simply found similar words in the ruins, then it is difficult for them to integrate their language with this completely different way of word formation, only the long-term communication between people who use the two languages, the integration of peoples, it is possible to form this unique language."
Lord Calvados said, her words taking a little surprise to the other high-ranking mages.
It is true that the Midgar Halfplane has been cut off from the main plane for thousands of years, but that was also during the period of the Ancient Magic Empire, and the language used in the writing at the bottom of the Great Hollow was only used during the Divine Generations at least seven thousand years ago, and there were thousands of years in between.
If it is true that there is a certain group of people who have been using this ancient language, then why is this the case only in the Midgarh half-plane, while there is no trace of these people in the rest of the half-planes?
It's a pity that the Midgar Half-Plane had collapsed ten years ago, annihilated in the Endless Void, and even if they wanted to investigate, there were too few relevant materials left in the main plane, and people couldn't find any clues from those materials.
"It is possible that the collapse of the Midgar Halfplane is related to the origin of these words, which is something that we have never thought of in the past, because if it is true that the people who use this divine script appear in the Midgar Halfplane, as Lord Calvados said, it means that they may have the secrets beyond the ancient Magic Empire era, and those things that are difficult to explain with modern magic may have unknown destructive power, which led to the collapse."
Lord Alberton said after contemplation.
At this time, Reiner suddenly thought of Dana's parents, a pair of scholars who studied the ecology of the half-plane, and it was precisely because they found some special magical reactions in the Midgar half-plane, so they hurried there to investigate, and happened to encounter the collapse of the half-plane, so they died here.
Is that particular magical response a throbbing from a ruin?
Did the people who spoke the ancient language still survive in the Midgarh halfplane at that time, and were they the cause of the collapse of the Midgar halfplane?
Reiner shook his head, he didn't mention it directly, because he believed that all the legendary mages here must have thought about it too, but now, the mages could no longer investigate what the Kristen couple had discovered, and they could only focus their work on studying the text in front of them.
Only by deciphering these texts from 7,000 years ago will it be possible to unravel the secrets buried at the bottom of the Great Hollow.
