Inscriptions dating from the end of the third millennium BCE were discovered in 1942 in the remote northwestern province Baida Nor.  These inscriptions, carved on a rock face near the villages of Belat and Trima, are indigenous to the area, resembling neither the different varieties of cuneiform in Mesopotamia nor the Indus Valley script dating from the same era.  The inscriptions remain largely undeciphered, but their highly iconic nature suggests that at least some of them were measure symbols of some kind, in particular the symbols of what appear to be baskets with lines drawn inside suggesting sheaves of wheat.

==== Gender ====
Modern Tarkandamonian does not distinguish gender, although a masculine-feminine distinction existed up until the 15th century.  Masculine nouns were marked with the suffix -e-, whilst feminine nouns were marked with the suffix -i.  Traces of the old gender system in  Modern Tarkandamonian survive as irregularities in the number system, particularly in words indicating body parts and a few high-frequency or culturally significant words, where the original -i feminine marker surfaces (c.f. ''karan -> karandokon'' “hammers”, vs. ''baralt -> baraldokin'' “ears”).

Tarkandamonian has only two formal cases, a direct case and a construct case.  The direct case represents both the subject and the object, differentiated by word order.  The construct case marks the dependent noun argument in possessive phrases.
