Celestial Language in Lost Waves | World Anvil

Celestial

Celestial isn't spoken as much as it is sung. Meaning isn't just in the consonants and vowels, but also in the pitch and rhythm of the music. When spoken by a Celestial, one can hear chimes and other instruments complementing the vocals. It is a wonderful sound and some have been so captivated by it that they forget everything else.

Writing System

The written language uses an alphabet of overlapping circles with lines between them, indicating how the rings are connected. It can form quite intricate patterns to encode all the nuances of the spoken language. Shapes inside the circles show changes in tonality, dents in the circles indicate adding a different instrumental section, and so on. This can make it a challenging language for those who don't know. Infernal uses a similar writing system, but much more rough and sharp as it is a perversion of Celestial.
