Michaelidh's conworld is multilevel and full of religious allegories. It resembles Dante in many respects.
Rõktiap is the language of "heaven" in that world; its grammar is based on Michaelidh's idea of what the first full-fledged human language was like (though the actual details were not a reconstruction); Rõktiap doesn't evolve into descendants in its homeland, and neither does its most recent diasporic form, Zinruol. Earth languages in Michaelidh's world are all descendants of Rõktiap as a fictional take on her beliefs, and in her actual writings these are represented by Earth languages in translation LOTR style. Earth languages in Michaelidh's world are specifically descendants of a form of Rõktiap which underwent one major grammatical change that is common to all such languages -- it's a change that both makes the languages human-usable and makes Rõktiap fundamentally unintelligible by incorporating a false friend.
