Viskerian Elvish: Author’s Note
A script built from constellations and tree roots, developed from childhood worldbuilding into dictionaries and translation experiments.
Daniel’s original introduction, with selected pages of the language archive. Later AI expansions in the source documents are not part of this edition.
Beginning stages of the elvish language. Consonants are constellations. Vowels based on tree roots. Pictographic and phonetic. Images include prototypes of the Dreamcatcher symbol, a fractal mandala-like design that was important to the main storyline in Chaos (the first book I wrote when I was 12/13).
Images show first attempts at a dictionary and the refinement of the language script, rules and lore.
Constellations (C) and Vowels (V) took inspiration from ancient languages like Hebrew as well as Tolkien’s languages. Vowels were the ‘root’s of words, constellations would be added above or below vowels depending on the function. Each C root word could have 2 letters, and the specific letter would be denoted by the number of lines connecting the x’s that denoted the stars of the C. C’s could determine if a V was long or short as well.
Near the end of the document are attempts at digitizing and formalizing the language and dictionary. Including screenshots of an Excel file that used formulas and a rudimentary macro to automate the translation and word combination rules.
