Akkadian

Written by Pookas Kreations

Akkadian is an old language, in use even before they arrived on Aquatica. It has elements of Auran and Celestial mixed in with words of their own creation.

Writing System

Their written language is represented by numbers, zeros, and ones as well as certain symbols that they have added to encompass words, sentences, and whole concepts.

Geographical Distribution

Mostly only on Atlantia.

Phonology

Akkadians "speak" a whistled language form of machine language similar to "Basic". 

They created this language with the help of Mother, and the information that they recorded while they were researching other races. As a way to facilitate communication with each other over long distances.

They can use it vocally, telepathically, or through radio waves. The vocalizations can be heard over long distances across deep gorges, valleys, water, underground, and plains. Although, forests and jungles, can muffle the sound. These sounds can travel 5 to 10 miles under the right conditions or 2-5 in less than ideal ones. 

Morphology

If they have no word in their vocabulary for a concept they use a word that is similar but use a descriptive or declarative word to create a new word. Sometimes they ignore new words because they already have one that will suit their purposes, but only add a descriptive to typify its meaning.

Vocabulary

They have many words for objects of technology, science, research, astronomy, and similar fields. 

Machine, computer, robot, core, star, planet, meteor, repair, open/close, start/stop, help, emergency, get, come, hurry, end/complete, I, you, they/them, mother, turn, left/right, up/down, forward/reverse, sound.

Phonetics

Much of the vocals in their language can't be heard by most humanoids. To them all most mammals can hear is beeps, chirps, whistles, and buzzes. These sounds can go up and down in pitch, be long or short.
