Language of the Seven Rings and its Varieties
The Pride Ring/Common (Morningspeech/’Nugaheem’)
Initially, hellborns of the Pride Ring had their own languages based on grumble, roar, ‘controlled scream’, and aspects of the body like clapping, snapping, or slamming objects in patterns. This language is known as ‘Impish’
When Lucifer and Lilith fell, both introduced Adamic Language to imps, hellhounds, incubi/ succubi, and locals of the Pride Ring. Impish still existed as ‘peasants’s languages’ while ‘corrupted/Hellish Adamic’ is considered the official and ‘high language’.
Post-Babel humans introduced Semitic languages along with Kemetics, Anatolian, and Hittite. There were two ‘main waves’ outstanding from each period; Sodomite-Gommorian (Having senses of gender binarism and ‘chopped’ honorifics from ‘The Lord of Lords’ to ‘Trash-Slaves’) and Kemetic during the Exodus (Thanks to the last Plague).
After the ‘Babelite/Old Morningspeech‘ period, there was another big reformation after Hebrews and Latin-speaking sinners became more noteworthy. The ‘Middle/Common Morningspeech’ was meant to be ‘easily learnt, simple, and direct’ enough for even the laziest idiots to learn the basics in months. Some called it ‘Old Simplified Nugaheem’.
Later, the 3rd wave imported English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and ‘loanwords’ of Chinese and Japanese into the Pride Ring. It’s referred as ‘Modern/Intercontinental Nugaheem’ or ‘New Simplified Nugaheem’
Both versions of Nugaheems are commonly used between rings and sinners alike. Official declaration and media tends to use the Old/Classical one, except on casual media and Social Medias.
The Wrath Ring’s Nugaheem is shorter by syllabi-per-word, lack of tone marking, and focus on time and relationship between senders and receivers. The written form is mostly direct, focusing on relationships between place, persons, and time, and incorporating emoji-like symbols that don’t take part when being spoken.
Acronyms, Alias/nicknames, and offensive terms are ‘flavorful’ and ‘various‘.
Wrath Ring-variant Nugaheem is considered ‘low culture’ and in higher societies, Morningspeech is expected to be used instead.
Some elements of ‘Old Impish’ have remained; shouting, highlighting words, grumbling, and hand gestures play significant roles.
Nonlinguistic and Nonverbal languages also play major roles, as form or ‘context’; sarcasm, taunting, oathmaking/affirming, subjugated/confessing, threatening/commanding, or requesting/blackmailing.
Adjectives-specific; doneness of steak, ripeness of fruit, subtypes of flavors, cooking methods, etc.
Each culinary adjective bears figurative meaning; ‘Medium-Done’ means ‘Half-willing’, ‘Green Rare’ means ‘toddler-like’, or stewed as ‘taking time to understand’.
Some loanwords from Italian, Chinese(especially Cantonese), French, Spanish, and Arabic.
Context of genders, ages, and relationship between senders and receivers are almost nonexist beside familial and friendship closeness-related contexts.
They tend to use adjectives and adverbs frequently like ‘spices of language’.
Avoiding idioms and figures of speech, but jargon is highly used. Especially in written forms. Most of them are ones of communication industry, engineering, and business/banking.
Prefer to use ‘less words that carry more meanings’, in both specifying and vagueness, which causes loopholes.
‘Sounds polite, gentle, and professional’
Can be said quickly that there are almost no tongue twisters.
Commoners stick to ‘Official Morningspeech’ with sparingly added jargon.
Tonal, Prose-like, and Emotional(including anger, sadness, excitement, boredom, endearing, dominance, submission, etc.)
Romance-like with flexible honorifics and some loanwords from Japanese, French, and Spanish.
Written forms are Latin-based(as in almost solely Latin alphabetic) and ‘additional words’ are expected.
Vulgar words are more ‘specifically functional’ than others, while non-vulgar offenses are also common, but both are somehow combined.
Homonyms are common, as some say there are far too common.
Combining characteristics of The Greed Ring, The Lust Ring, and Gluttony Ring while also developing their own characteristics.
Regional Sublanguage elements are still present, as some pronunciations are incapable to be said by sinners at all.
Their language is riddling, highly symbolic, idiomatic, and hides true contexts on purpose(Like Kanto accent to the rest of Japan, but more extreme)
Hissing, Croaking, and throat-based pronunciations are common.
Adjectives and adverbs are not commonly used, but using them means it’s extra serious.
‘Prayer-like’; slow and pitch-accented, but having several syllables per word can be tongue twisting if spoken quickly.
The closest to Babelite Nugaheem; barely changed. However, more Hebrew, Arabic, and Latin elements are somehow common as loanwords.
Prefixes and Suffixes are often used to ‘form words’.
Sometimes, silence and nonverbal languages between words are ‘part of the speech’.
Grammar barely exists, or if it does, it is simple and highly flexible.
