Alpha Tongue Language in OmniVerse | World Anvil

Alpha Tongue

Alpha Tongue was a language that is alleged to have been spoken by either ancient Humans or a proto-humanoid species several millenium ago. It is a complex language that seems to have several different dialects depending on the region of the planet the tongue is found used in. It was completely translated by the Deepcore Foundation in 1998; though it had been discovered long before then. The tongue is found on ancient scriptures that are located in locations such as The Cavern Of The North's Passage or on Artifacts that belonged to the ancient race. How the tongue became replaced by other languages such as Latin, Hebrew, Persian, and Chinese remains unknown.   Although efforts to translate the language have been successful, actually speaking it is another oddity entirely. When a human has been exposed to a certain; as-of-now unknown amount of mana, they will begin to speak the language alongside the ones they already know. How they get the language has remained a mystery, though some researchers have speculated that the Alpha Tongue has always been there in the back of most human's minds, it just needed that strange; mystical push for it to come back. Regardless, humans that know the tongue are able to teach it to those who do not.
Noteworthy Names There are five names that come up within artifacts and murals that use the tongue. These names are:
The Holy
The Sun
The Moon
The Ocean
The Corruptor
Spoken by
Common Unisex Names
Aside from the above-mentioned example, the language does not have ordinary names for female, male, or otherwise. Everyone is referred to with a more neutral; unisex name, despite evidence that suggests there had indeed been certain distinctions between if a early human was male, female or otherwise.

Really interesting how the language is linked with mana in that way. I particularly like the detail that those who know the Tongue can teach others, even if they themselves are not sure how they learnt it.
