Diluvian, also referred to as Babelic, is a philosophical ab interiori language of the Mesolithic that consists on stacking particles through oligosynthetical agglutination. Its creator, Veno, named the Paleolithic Code as such based on the model that it spread to all continents of earth during the Last Glacial Maximum.

[...]

The language is associated with the Ancient North Eurasians (ANE) from the Mal'ta Buret' Culture [...] Juxtapositional Syntax.

Babelic

The Diluvian Code can be spoken in a reduced register (Babelic), where context dictates the meaning of the words, which are always monosyllabic. In this form, affixes and clitics are omitted, and special particles are introduced to express questions and biases. The sentence below, for example, refuses to apply pronouns (considered affixes) while introducing タ /tʼə/ "rule" to indicate a strong form of biding:

(1)
死犬タ

死

mu

death

犬

kaun

dog

タ

tha

rule

死 犬 タ

mu kaun tha

death dog rule

"Are you implying I should die like a dog!"

An exception can be made towards negatives:
