'''Diluvian''', also referred to as '''Babelic''', is a [[Philosophical language|philosophical]] [[ab interiori language]] of the [[w:mesolithic|Mesolithic]] that consists on stacking particles through [[w:Oligosynthesis|oligosynthetical]] [[w:Agglutination|agglutination]]. Its creator, [[User:Veno|Veno]], named the [[Paleolithic Code]] as such based on the model that it spread to all continents of earth during the | |||
[[w:Last Glacial Maximum|Last Glacial Maximum]]. | |||

The language is associated with the [[w:Ancient North Eurasian|Ancient North Eurasians]] (ANE) from the [[w:Mal'ta–Buret' culture|Mal'ta Buret' Culture]] [...] Juxtapositional Syntax. | |||

In Diluvian, vocabulary can be common, social, onomatopoeic, or mimetic<br> | |||
*the mimetic interpretation describes physical characteristics | |||
pa *used to describe what flaps | |||
ta *used to describe what closes or is rigid | |||
ka *used to describe what crashes | |||
ra *used to describe what is fluid or maleable | |||
sa *used to describe what is alive | |||

u "inwards" | |||
==Syllabaries== | |||
880 (44 particles x 5 vowels x 4) + 150(40 particles x 4 -10) = 1030 | |||
for the same reason syllables such as ri /ɾi/ are allowed | |||
but riaçi /ɾʲəd͡zi/ is not | |||
a nucleus cannot have more than two sound effects | |||
for this reason, the negative and positive versions of ya wa sa za ra ca and ça cannot suffer nasalization | |||

Diluvian | ===Prior Syllabary=== | ||
1350 isolated syllables of semantic priority are allowed within Diluvian (disregarding alternative vowels as well as nasal forms and consonantal clusters in coda position). In Babelic, however, there would be only 1020 prior syllables due the loss of final glottal stop. | |||

==Babelic== | |||
The Diluvian Code can be spoken in a reduced register (Babelic), where context dictates the meaning of the words, which are always monosyllabic. In this form, affixes and clitics are omitted, and special particles are introduced to express questions and biases. The sentence below, for example, refuses to apply pronouns (considered affixes) while | |||
introducing タ /tʼə/ "rule" to indicate a strong form of biding: | |||
{{interlinear|lang=fi|number=(1) | |||
|top= 死犬タ | |||
|死 犬 タ | |||
|''mu kaun tha'' | |||
|death dog rule | |||
|"Are you implying I should die like a dog!" | |||
}} | |||
An exception can be made towards negatives: | |||
{{interlinear|lang=fi|number=(1) | |||
|top= 來目ニ | |||
|來 目 ニ | |||
|''ke qi ṇai'' | |||
|path eye not | |||
|"He did not see that coming" | |||
}} | |||
