Adamic Code
This article is a construction site. This project is currently undergoing significant construction and/or revamp. By all means, take a look around, thank you. |
Adamic (Ādamya, pronounced [aːˈdami̯a ]) is a philosophical ab interiori language that consists on naming roots and applying patterns to make them act as a full fledged means of communication. Its name was chosen due the similarity with the narrative of Genesis, where Adam was tasked to name the animals of Eden[1].

Introduction
The Adamic Code was created to simulate the hypothesis of an Afroasiatic Paleolithic Code. Chronologically, the language would be a creole of the Pangaean Code[2] and the Diluvian Code[3].
Phonology

Sounds
Consonants
Adamic has 18 consonants. Slightly less than the 24 consonants of the Diluvian Code.
Guttural | Coronal | Labial | |
---|---|---|---|
Sonorant | [1]h [1][2]ɦ | l̥ r | n̥ m |
Turbulent | s z | t͡s [1]ʔ | f v |
Occlusive | k g | t d | p b |
- ^1Due the arrangement required from the tables, the sounds /h/ and /ɦ/, as well as the sound /ʔ/, are grouped as sonorants and coronal respectively without showing the proper phonetic qualities.
- ^2The sound /ɦ/ ranges from [ɦ], [ʕ], and [ʁ] to [ɣ].
The characters used in the orthography are given below.
- /k/ is written k
- /g/ is written g
- /t/ is written t
- /d/ is written d
- /t/ is written t
- /p/ is written p
- /b/ is written b
- /h/ is written h
- /ɦ/ is written q
- /l̥/ is written l
- /r/ is written r
- /s/ is written s
- /z/ is written z
- /t͡s/ is written c
- /ʔ/ is written ’
- /f/ is written f
- /v/ is written v
Vowels
Standard Adamic has 6 vowels and 8 possible diphthongs, but optionally, most diphthongs may be forced into monophthongs, resulting in 12 vowels as a whole. In comparison, the Diluvian Code has 10 vowels.

- ^3In Standard Adamic, the diphthongs /u̯i/ and /ui̯/ together with /i̯u/ and /iu̯/ are allophones, but in the poetic register a difference is made between i-dependent and u-dependent dialects, which choose one of each pair in order to arrive at /ɨ/~/ɨː/ or /ʉ/~/ʉː/.
The characters used in the orthography are given below.
- /i/ without relevant stress is written i
- /a/ without relevant stress is written a
- /u/ without relevant stress is written u
- /i/ with relevant stress is written í
- /a/ with relevant stress is written á
- /u/ with relevant stress is written ú
- /iː/ without relevant stress is written ī
- /aː/ without relevant stress is written ā
- /uː/ without relevant stress is written ū
- /iː/ with relevant stress is written î
- /aː/ with relevant stress is written â
- /uː/ with relevant stress is written û
- /e/ without relevant stress is written e
- /ɨ/~/ʉ/ without relevant stress is written y
- /o/ without relevant stress is written o
- /e/ with relevant stress is written é
- /ɨ/~/ʉ/ with relevant stress is written ý
- /o/ with relevant stress is written ó
- /eː/ without relevant stress is written ē
- /ɨː/~/ʉː/ without relevant stress is written ȳ
- /oː/ without relevant stress is written ō
- /eː/ with relevant stress is written ê
- /ɨː/~/ʉː/ with relevant stress is written ŷ
- /oː/ with relevant stress is written ô
Pitch Accent
Although non-phonemic, long vowels tend to carry a rising pitch when stressed, and a falling pitch when unstressed.

Morphology
Adamic grammar consists on a reutilization of the primordial and diluvian systems. When the relevant grammatical terms (X) are expressed the same way they are in the Pangaean Code (but within the morphophonological boundaries of Adamic) it is applied the formula [[X]=P]A; whereas with Diluvian, it is [[X]=D]A. Furthermore, the identification of the particle (Y) in the configuration of the Adamic Code responsible for the equivalence is represented by Y⇒(...Y...).
