Pangaean, also referred to as Primordial, Codes, or Codex, is a philosophical ab interiori language of the Upper Paleolithic that consists on codifying the alphabet of thought into articulated sounds. Its creator, Veno, named it after the hypothesis of Paleolithic Codes, wherein the language would be the oldest one.
The Codex is very similar to Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz' idealization of a Characteristica Universalis, although the presence of Mnemonics and Sound Symbolism may set it apart from a genuine calculus ratiocinator. Meaningful units are mimetic rather than numeric (called phememes), whose discussion first appeared in Plato's Cratylus before being developed in the 20th Century by anthropologist Mary LeCron Foster. With those phememes [...]

Other constructed languages similar to the Pangaean Code include Ithkuil (in morphological complexity), Lojban (in syntactic complexity), and IEML (in semantic complexity).
