a linguist plays chants of sennaar (pt 5)

[pt 1] [pt 2] [pt 3] [pt 4]

the home stretch!!

disclaimer: can't promise that i'll have any insights that a layperson wouldn't have, this is kinda just me thinking through the grammar of the language out loud haha.

this post covers the fifth and last language in chants of sennaar and will contain spoilers for both the language and the endgame! it also assumes you know what the symbols mean already.

i.... to be completely honest with you, i did not enjoy this language 😂 i think the experience of deciphering it got lost in favor of the storyline, which isn't necessarily a bad thing for everyone, but hey, i am the one going through each of these languages like a linguistic bloodhound here lol. because of that, i'm not as familiar with these words as i am with the other languages.

before we get into anything else, and also because i imagine that this will be a shorter post because the game itself tells you what patterns to look for, i do want to say that this language strikes me as being incredibly artificial. which is a good thing! it emulates the digital apocalypse vibe that exile gives. but a language that leans so heavily into being constructed and recombined and modulated so easily really gives me the impression that it was created and not organically developed. the only other irl example that comes to mind at the moment is korean hangeul, which was purposefully created by king sejong and is an alphabet, not a logography. like, this is a language that i would make for fun in high school (which is to say, it gives a kind of overly grammatically strict, awkwardly too regular vibe?).

it's kind of funny that this language is where i'm starting to get reminded of conlangs, especially when, well, everything in this game is a conlang. but if we take each of the radicals in this language as affixes/morphemes when they're being combined into one character, then this actually reminds me of a specific conlang (ithkuil, i think?) where you can convey incredibly complex ideas through very few words.

the language of the anchorites isn't quite this complex, but hopefully the comparison gets my point across?

i’m curious if only certain elements can be combined with each other or if there’s a certain order to them, but it’s hard to tell when there’s such limited evidence in the game. interestingly, i believe the anchorites’ language is the only one in this game that makes a distinction between “die” and “death/dead” by combining the noun with the verb “go”. not sure why the developers suddenly made that decision haha.

this language, like most in the game, is an SVO language, which we can see below:

but i think also they (the developers) were trying to convey more complex sentence structures than their language was designed to communicate??? so then you end up w smth like below:

which, if you translated literally, would actually be “you man i wait”. again, super interesting bc i think an actual, more accurate anchorite sentence should be “i wait you man”. they have a more complex sentence here bc of the predicate (“you’re the one”) and the dative (“for”), but really the sense that they’re trying to go for is “i was awaiting the one [who is you]”. i guess it’s possible that different grammatical cases are treated differently in this language, or that, like english, word order is occasionally variable (even tho that option seems iffy bc we haven’t really seen evidence of it before), but tbh i suspect that really it’s that the developers wrote the dialogue and then brute forced it into the anchorite language haha. no shade! (and also impossible to confirm either way lol) just kinda amusing and also it makes sense when it’s p obvious their focus shifted from the language to the story.

this trend continues throughout all of the anchorite dialogue (imo) and makes it kinda slow and awkward to read if you don’t have all of the characters translated. in my opinion, the way that the language functions in the last part of this game makes it pretty clear that the developers meant for you to rely on the given translations during this potion of the game, especially when the translation mechanic is mostly through the matching terminals in exile, rather than speaking with people.

annoyingly, the anchorites’ language is also the only one in the game that doesn’t have words for the other people/cultures in the game (demonyms), which also doesn’t give much to work off of in terms of cultural context, relationships, etc.

again, i’ve decided not to get into an in-depth orthographic analysis of this particular language bc the game itself introduces you to them. one that i noticed that wasn’t specifically addressed in-game is the similarity between “open” and “key”, which is something that i actually also noted before in the devotees’ language. i’m sure there are others, but i’m also sure you can find them yourself!

all in all, a strange ending to this game. if you’ve made it this far in all of my posts—thanks for hanging around! hope you were able to learn smth new :)

So, let's start learning about the alphabet called as Hangul (한굴). The Hangul was created during Sejong's dynasty, the fourth king from Joseon's dynasty, in 1443. The King Sejong, The Great (세종대왕), decided to create this alphabet, because the previous alphabet was the Hanja, with Chinese characters were difficult to learn and only privileged people could learn how to read and write. With this in mind, he reunited all students at that time. The final first version from Hangul was called as "Hunminjeongeum" (훈민정음), in 1446, that means "Proper Sounds to Instruct the People". The Hangul wasn't used by scholars or Koreans of the upper classes until after 1945. The Hangul consists in 10 basic vowels (모음), 11 double vowels (모음), 14 basic consonants (자음) and 5 double consonants (자음). How pronounce the letters? Miss Vicky here will help you. Basic Vowels (10): ㅏ [a] ㅑ [ya] ㅓ [eo/o] ㅕ [yeo/yo] ㅐ [ae/e] ㅒ [yae/ye] ㅗ [o/o] ㅛ [yo] ㅜ [u] ㅠ [yu] Double Vowels (11): ㅔ [e] ㅖ [ye] ㅣ [i] ㅡ [eu] (pronounce: 'ugh') ㅘ [wa] ㅙ [wae/we] ㅞ [we] ㅚ [wee] ᅱ [wi] ㅢ [ui/yɨi] ㅝ [wo] Basic Consonants (14): ㅂ [b/p] ㅈ [j/ch/s] ㄷ [d/t] ㄱ [g/k] ㅅ [s/t/sh] ㅁ [m] ㄴ [n] ㅇ [mute/ ng] ㄹ [l/r] ㅎ [h/r/t] ㅋ [Kh] ㅌ [t] ㅊ [tch/t/s] ㅍ [p] Double Consonants (5): ㅃ [p] ㅉ [j] ㄸ [t] ㄲ [k] ㅆ [s/t] 잘 가! ♥

GİRİŞ ÜNİTESİ: ALFABE (KORECE)

Bu derste Kore alfabesini öğreneceğiz.Kore alfabesine "Hangıl" denir. 1443 yılında Kral Sejong tarafından oluşturulmuştur.

Kore alfabesinde 14 sessiz, 10 sesli olmak üzere toplam 24 harf vardır.

Korece'deki ünsüz harfler sırasıyla ㄱ ㄴ ㄷ ㄹ ㅁ ㅂ ㅅ ㅇ ㅈ ㅊ ㅋ ㅌ ㅍ ㅎ'dır.

Korece'deki ünlü harfler ㅏ ㅓ ㅗ ㅜ ㅡ ㅑ ㅕ ㅛ ㅠ ㅣ

Korece'deki yarı ünlü harfler ㅐ ㅒ ㅔ ㅖ 의 왜 외 웨 워 와 위

Korece'deki Çift Ünsüzler ㄲ ㄸ ㅃ ㅆ ㅉ

Şimdi hep birlikte nasıl okuduklarını öğrenelim.

ㅏ= A  ㅓ=aO    ㅗ=O   ㅜ=U   ㅡ=I   ㅑ=YA    ㅕ=YAO    ㅛ =YO   ㅠ=YU    ㅣ=İ

Korece'de iki tane O harfi vardır. Dikey O ㅓ ve yatay O ㅗ. Yatay O Türkçe'deki O harfi ile aynıdır. Dikey O ise daha çok aO ile ıO arası bir sestir. Aynı şekilde iki tane YO vardır.

ㄱ=G ya da K (Kelimenin başındaysa K değilse G).   ㄴ=N

ㄷ= T ya da D (Kelimenin Başında ise T değilse D)

ㅌ= T

ㅁ=M

ㄹ=R ya da L (Kelimenin başında veya iki sesli harfin arasındaysa R, bir hecenin altında ise L, arka arkaya iki tane ㄹ gelirse ikisi de L olarak okunur.)

ㅂ=B ya da P hatta M (Kelimenin başındaysa P değilse B, M oluşuna okuma kuralları dersinde bakacağız.)

ㅅ=S ya da D (Bu harften sonra ㅣ,ㅑ,ㅛ,ㅕ,ㅒ,ㅠ,의 ,ㅖ,위 gelirse S olarak değil Ş olarak okunur. Sıraladığım harflerden farklı bir sesli harf gelirse S olarak okunur. D olarak okunduğu durumlara okuma kuralları dersinde bakacağız.)

ㅈ=C ya da D

ㅊ=Ç ya da D

ㅍ=P, B,M (Kelimenin baş ve ortasında P, hecenin altında B olarak okunur.)

ㅎ=H ya da D

ㅇ=NG ya da N (Eğer kendisinden sonra sessiz harf geliyorsa NG, sesli harf geliyorsa N. Aynı zamanda okunmadığı durumlar da mevcut. Korece'de hece oluştururken bir hece asla sesli harfle başlayamaz bu yüzden başına ㅇ koyulur. Örneğin, 아 bu durumda ㅇ okunmaz sadece ㅏ okunur. Bu hece kurma olaylarını ayrı olarak işleyeceğiz.)

Şimdi gelelim yarı Ünlü harflerimize.

ㅐ= E

ㅒ=YE

ㅔ=E

ㅖ=YE

의=Iİ,İ,E( sırasıyla okunuşları kelimenin başındaysa, ortasındaysa, sonundaysa iyelik eki olarak kullanılırken)

왜=WE

외=WE

웨=WE

워=WO

와=WA

위=Wİ

Biraz karışık gelmiş olabilir ama korkmayın zamanla öğreneceksiniz. Gördüğünüz gibi üc tane we, iki tane E ve iki tane de Ye sesi var. O yüzden kelimeleri öğrenirken nasıl yazıldığına da dikkat etmelisiniz.

Aslında Birleşik Ünsüz Harfler de var ama onları gelecek derste vermeyi planlıyorum. Bir anda bu kadar bilgi yüklemesi yeterli.

Umarım bu yazı alfabeyi öğrenmenize yardımcı olur. İyi çalışmalar <3

From South Korea 🇰🇷: 🍯 Sejong Food The King’s Royal Refreshment with Natural Almond Flavor: “Korean Traditional Taffy-TA RAE is a court cake made of ripened honey and malt, which was once presented to the king and valuable guests. It is brewed with the artisan spirit to make 16,000 strands suggesting the prayer for longevity, health, good fortune and wish-fulfillment. It is not much sweet, not sticky to teeth, but enjoyable with various tastes according to garnishings. It tastes better with teas as it is cold and frozen.” 🧀 @globalpepero nude-cream cheese 🍫 Pepero Crunky 🍪 Pepero Choco Cookie From Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿: 🍪 Campbell’s Shortbread Pure Butter Shortbread Petticoat Tails #omiyage #gift #gifts #southkorea #korean #koreanfood #sejongfood #tare #taffy #pepero #creamcheese #crunky #choco #cookie #scotland #campbellsshortbread #shortbread #cookies #snacks #travel #dogsitter https://www.instagram.com/p/ClHc7_cS61W/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

On my third day in Seoul, Myoung took me to Gyeongbokgung Palace and she made me wear hanbok (₩10,000) for a couple of hours - that made us get free entrance to the palace (₩3,000) then visited a traditional house nearby Not only that, a whole day spent was actually a test on Korean Culture and History by Myoung - thankfully I watched Korean priod drama a lot 🇰🇷 We discussed about the great statues of Admiral Yi Sun-sin and King Sejong; differences between hanbok outfits; functions of the rooms inside the palace, and many more! Thank God, I passed 🎎 #vitainseoul #wheninkorea #uajyinkorea #asiaplacement #ubfellows #gyeongbokgung (at 경복궁 - Gyeongbokgung Palace) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj_5pugS2U97uWD6I1NcQ8gPqn-ptfaTn9zoFA0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sejong Village Food Street or 세종마을 음식문화거리 is located at Gyeongbokgung Station (line 3, exit 2). If you walk forward the food street is on the first left called Jahamun-ro 1-gil. To make it more well known and promote the Korean food culture to foreigners and locals all together, Omomo Cafe or 공유카페 organizes various programs. The second class we attended was 감자탕 or Pork bone soup. This soup is usually accompanied by soju, or is eaten the next day for hangover. Is very delicious. This cooking class was sponsored by 털보감자탕 restaurant located on the Sejong Village Food Street. If you want to check them out go to their Instagram page @omomo_cafe1, or website (Link in their BIO). These two months they will have a lot of experiences you can try out for yourself. We had such a blast that we want to go again!
