Ancient Sohcahtoan is a Japonic language that is the precursor of Sohcahtoan. Nowadays, it is used for solely ceremonial purposes at festivals, and no one actually uses it in everyday speech. Although much of the language has been reconstructed from various works of literature in Ancient Sohcahtoan, some of the lexical base has been comparatively reconstructed from modern Sohcahtoan and some Ryukyuan languages.
Phonology
Orthography
Whereas modern Sohcahtoan uses the three Japanese scripts, Ancient Sohcahtoan was probably written using a rudimentary runic alphabet to represent the phonology. However, as the Japanese scripts began to heavily influence Sohcahtoan, the runes fell out of use in favour of Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji, which led to vowel and consonant change, e.g. ʂ -> ʃ and the complete dropping of [ə](ã) and [u], the former turned into [eoː] and the latter into [ɯ].
