Researcher Julia Wiegand, a university graduate student in Tokyo, accidentally discovered the language while working on her Ph.d thesis, which hypothesized that a language may once have existed that links together Korean, Japanese, and Chinese. Her findings indicated that the Yumodanese were capable of time travel, which explained why the four languages share similarities with one another. When Julia traveled to a recently discovered ruins, she inadvertently found one of their time portals - and wound up back in the time period when the Yumodanese first existed, learning their language and their customs. | |||
Julia's trip observed trading between the Chinese and Yumodanese, hence the borrowing of Chinese words for more complex concepts. Many words entered the Japanese language from Yumodanese exchanges with the nearby natives, introducing some Chinese words into the language. A few words have been borrowed from Korean, but the importation of Chinese words occurred directly from the Chinese as opposed to the Yumodanese. Additionally, consonant and vowel shifts occurred as a result of exposure to the Yumodanese tribes. | |||
