Atlan Wiki:Atlan language project

What's the deal with Atlantean?

Our goal is to construct a language that can plausibly be the mother of all languages in this world Erd. Because of this it was able to have a huge impact on the world. All languages in Erd are descended from a dialect of Atlantean called Middle Atlantean. We also have completely different names for the languages family. What people on Earth call the germanic family, Erders call them the Harbour languages (as they are descended from Harbour Atlantean).

If you want to join in on our project, we welcome it. It takes a long time to develop the language that comes between Middle Atlantean and a real modern language such as Japanese, Arabic or French, but people are coming up with new dialects of Middle Atlantean all the time, and coming up with fascinating etymologies.

Erd is similar to Earth, but also very different too. People are completely obsessed with cheesecake on Erd. Their king is called "cheesecake". Cheesecake in their language means "divine desert that comes from the cheese province". One of their provinces is called cheese land, because that is where most of the cheese comes from. That is also why the languages spoken there, known as the Slavic languages to earthlings, are known as Dairy languages to Erders.

There is much more still to discover over the effect that Atlan has had on the world of Erd. Come join in!

We are very inclusive. All you need to do is respect and go along with the other "research" people are doing and you will be welcomed with open arms as long as you are not an avocadian

What's a sheeple?

While the word "sheeple" did exist before, it became an injoke to use it. Sheeple is a mashup of "sheep" and "people". Remember how sheep herd together? Well, sheeple is used to describe people who act like sheep. The joke is that the language discussed that night is actually the mother of language, and all those who don't think it is are just going with the mass opinion of what language family it is in.

So if the joke were true, then all of us thinking that his language wasn't the mother of language would be sheeple because we can't see the truth and are just listening to what linguists tell us.

What is an avocadian?

This is a related term, but it refers to people who deliberately go out there and spread misinformation. A good quick explanation of the term is "language troll" or anyone who goes against the teaching of Atlantean Spraakshaf

Avocadian

Who's King Cheesecake?

Your lord and master obviously

What's the big deal about cheesecake?

Who doesn't like cheesecake?!

If you want to work on Atlantean, please read through what others have done so your work fits in with their. Atlantean is a pluricentric language with many dialects. You can make as crazy a dialect as you want. Want to do Atlan as spoken by Atlans who settled in Japan? Go ahead!

Just come up with rules of how the sounds changed from some other dialect, keep those rules consistent and write them down. You can write down all your ideas on the wiki. Above all, have fun!

Please also use vocaroo.com to record yourself reading Atlantean, or record yourself with your phone or camera and upload it to YouTube. Once you have done this, post a link on the group.
