[Accepted] Siik'Tau - A language for cool cats and just about everybody else.

Type (Species/Company/History/Other): Language!


Relevant Dates: 2420-Onward


Basic Description: A macaronic language based on Tau Ceti Basic and verbal Siik elements. Available for everybody, unable to be spoken by dionaea or unathi.


Long Description: A result of integration, Siik'Tau is a macaronic language combining basic verbal elements of traditional Siik dialects and mixed with elements of Tau Ceti Basic. Birthed in the Tau Ceti as a result of a fleeing Tajara populace, the initial difficulties with Tau Ceti Basic were supplemented with their typical Siik vocabulary, creating a more easily understood language by Tajara and non-Tajara alike. Due to the nature of the siik elements, understanding is possible for the dionaea species and unathi, but speaking these elements is near impossible due to pitches required as well as certain mora in the linguistics itself.


Characteristics to the language itself are hindered and slurred, the combination of the similar elements of both languages not outright perfect and creating an almost drunken aspect that manifests in the typical speech patterns present, much like typical Siik when relayed over the radio as well as due to the loss of the minor non-verbal characteristics to the language itself.

I can see it originating from District Six in Mendell, but a blend of the two languages so the immigrants can integrate better

 

That's essentially what it is.

Tajara take up a large portion of one of the districts of Mendel. It was even dubbed unofficially as 'Little Adhomai'. It makes a bit of sense. It also doesn't give a full understanding, only very minimally. Besides, this was a request. People didn't request other languages, it's unfair to go 'Well here's one lets wait for six others before making it a thing if it's a neat idea.'

Other languages don't get a free human equivalent that lets everyone listen in on their conversations, I don't see why Taj should

 

Is that a result of the languages not being conceptualized, or outright denial?


Did people go, "I don't see why that guy can roll his materials, while we carry ours" when the wheel was invented?
