Michaelidh | Michaelidh is known all over Irta for bridging the worlds of religion and linguistics. Rõktiap is especially popular among Catholics who view it as perhaps the only accurate analogy for the Trinity. Remonitionists, on the other hand, think of Michaelidh's work as a treasure trove of mystical and occult symbolism as well as paradoxes; a major Remonitionist author and critic cited Michaelidh's conlanging as a challenge to her belief in "the original language of humanity" by considering the possibility that societies could make up and pass on new languages that, like Rõktiap, were unrelated to the real original language. This controversy persists to this day in the way Irtan linguists look at pidgins and creoles; historically Remonitionist countries follow the theory that creoles are made ex nihilo and should be grouped into separate language families whereas Catholic countries follow the theory that creoles are descendants of their lexifiers, and the latter is known today in Irta as "the Latzial school of linguistics". |
