Hyperborean, (Latin Alphabet: Adļandļ, pronounced [ət͡ɬˀənt͡ɬ]) is a philosophical ab interiori language of the Mesolithic that consists on a scheme of templates through polysynthesis. Its creator, Veno, named the Paleolithic Code as such due the similarity with the Athabaskan, Salishan, Yeniseian, Northwest-Caucasian, and other linguistic families mainly from Siberia and North-America.
