Aquatic

Origin

Aquatic has so far has been thought of to be the most odd language considering where it had been derived from. Sacredly spoken by the Syrien which delve freely into waters, this can scarcely be heard anywhere else besides in the oceans. Sailors dread to hear the similar sounds the language creates near their boats, and even other sea creatures can recognize it well enough. People have hardly registered what is actually spoken in Aquatic, and will always have that sort of divide between land and water.

Aquatic came about purely from Syrien, which was happening to be an intelligent race with the ability to create their own language. They were not influenced by other languages only spoken on land, but actually taken from the inhabitants of the ocean themselves. They observed the 'conversational' mannerisms of other aquatic animals in order to try and speak with each other. Syrien had the proper vocals which many other creatures did not have the possession of, and though gestures were frequented in order to converse, gradually comprehensible noises which only they could understand took shape.

Description

Aquatic is considered to be a very exotic language, as well as one which cannot be spoken in air at all, in fact. Many noises are shrilly sounded in the throat, and require strong vocals which can tighten and loosen with ease in order to achieve proper pronunciation. While some of it is only spoken in this way, some words do have to include the 'bubbles' which can only be created underwater by the air passages in their gills. By changing the different turbulent in which their gills create in the water, not only are different words spoken but they can also change the tone or emotion of the language.

The scripture of Aquatic is actually very similar to that of Elven, which is usually found written upon stones than on parchment. The lettering does vary slightly so it cannot be completely understood by Elves, but includes the sort of elegant way it is composed in.

Basic Phrases

Due to Aquatic only able to be spoken underwater, their pronunciation does not match up with their lettering like it would if it could be spoken on land. Recording how words are actually said in this language is pretty much impossible.
