Diluvian is a philosophical ab interiori language.

Introduction

...
In Diluvian, vocabulary can be common, social, onomatopoeic, or mimetic

  • the mimetic interpretation describes physical characteristics

pa *used to describe what flaps ta *used to describe what closes or is rigid ka *used to describe what crashes ra *used to describe what is fluid or maleable sa *used to describe what is alive

  • the onomatopoeic interpretation

mu cow si snake acin "sneezing" vs gur "drinking" i "outward" a "human cry" u "inwards"

Syllabaries

880 (44 particles x 5 vowels x 4) + 150(40 particles x 4 -10) = 1030 for the same reason syllables such as ri /ɾi/ are allowed but riaçi /ɾʲəd͡zi/ is not a nucleus cannot have more than two sound effects for this reason, the negative and positive versions of ya wa sa za ra ca and ça cannot suffer nasalization [t͡sə > ⁿt͡sə, but t͡sʲə > *ⁿt͡sʲə] Diluvian triggers sound changes t͡si [t͡ʃi] t͡sʲi [ɕːi]~[t͡ʃɨ]

Essential Syllabary

40 stacking syllables that determine the discourse.

Prior Syllabary

1350 isolated syllables of semantic priority are allowed within Diluvian (disregarding alternative vowels as well as nasal forms and consonantal clusters in coda position). In Babelic, however, there would be only 1020 prior syllables due the loss of final glottal stop.
