Adamic Code

Adamic (Hebrew Abjad: אדמי קפל, Latin Alphabet: Ādamya Qafl, pronounced [àːˈdami̯a ˈqafl]) 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.

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 and the Diluvian Code.

Formulae

The formulae of Adamic are equivalent to acategorics of Pangaean or the syllabaries of Diluvian.

Phonology

Sounds

Consonants

Adamic has 18 consonants. Slightly less than the 24 consonants of the Diluvian Code.

	Guttural	Coronal	Labial
Sonorant	h ɦ	l̥ r	n̥ m
Turbulent	s z	t͡s 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.

Monophthongs Front Center Back Short i a u Long iː aː uː

Diphthongs Front Center Back Short u̯i i̯a u̯a i̯u Long iu̯ ai̯ au̯ ui̯

Monophtongized Diphthongs Front Center Back Short e ɨ ~ ʉ o Long eː ɨː ~ ʉː oː

^3In Adamic, the diphthongs /u̯i/ and /ui̯/ together with /i̯u/ and /iu̯/ are allophones, but in a more poetic register a difference may be made between i-dependent and u-dependent dialects, wherein one of each pair can be chosen 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-morphemic, long vowels tend to carry a rising pitch when stressed, and a falling pitch when unstressed, in order to further distinguish them from plain vowels.

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...).
