Ah, world building sweet world building. When you can spend 5 hours building an alien language you're probably never going to use.

This is Wiresh. It's the alphabet for the Enrids I posted yesterday.

Geksel

On Earth, the dwindling of natural resources was causing a lot of political unrest. It seemed as if another world war as imminent. But, the unthinkable happened. Instead of fighting, everyone began to share. Countries merged, the UN became a more and more leading government. Of course, there was still fighting, but for the most part the world managed to stay together. Most of the borders on Earth fused into one government appointed supercontinent. 

Technology and culture started to distribute evenly, and humanity was becoming more and more one race rather than a bunch of labels. To help with idea of peaceful globalization along, the UN and a group of talented linguists from all across the world worked together to great the first super language. It was named GCSL, or GeoCentric Super Language. The idea was to mix and match bits and pieces from as many languages as possible into one coherent language (although that mostly included the 3 main languages at the time, Mandarin Chinese, Russian, and English). It was this language that everyone learned, either as a first or second language, to help the Human race eventually progress into space.

Over time, like all languages, it’s been mutated from its original form. The abbreviation GCSL was more often pronounced as a word, leading to a trend of people writing it down as whatever it sounded like. In the present, the official spelling of GCSL has changed to Geksel and is written as such in official documents. Since it’s also the language that traveled with Humans into space and is taught in all educational facilities, it garners hundreds of dialects. Some of these dialects are so warped that they are unofficially considered their own languages. Geksnest, Geksden, Santsel, Hearthsel, Fathomsel are the names of the dialects in the spatial regions The Nest, Edens Ring, Santus Wall, The Hearth and The Unfathomed respectively.

Different races also have different takes on the language. Since Zephyrs speak through special pheromone to speech translator collars, they always speak the untampered original Geksel. Wisps can speak it which their natural voices, but can only pronounce certain parts so they revised it and created their own version, calling it Geksisp. Since the Gosei spoke a slightly butchered Japanese when first contact was made, they’ve since integrated that with Geksel to create Geksei.
