Wumpian language

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ars%C3%A8ne_Tchakarian

The Wumpian language is a Polynesian language spoken solely by the Wumpians of the Wumpa Archipelago. The language is a descendant of the Tchak-Lemurian language that preceded it, and is in fact a primitive bastardization of Lemurian.

Wumpians on Wumpa Island speak a different dialect of the language than their cousins on N.Sanity, and their specific dialect is the least flawed retention of the ancient Lemurian language. The dialect and its people on Wumpa are seen in a "last of the Mohicans" kind of light.

The distinctive characteristics of the language are vowel harmony and extensive agglutination. The basic word order of Wumpian is subject–object–verb. Wumpian has no noun classes or grammatical gender. The language makes usage of honorifics and has a strong T–V distinction which distinguishes varying levels of politeness, social distance, age, courtesy or familiarity toward the addressee. The plural second-person pronoun and verb forms are used referring to a single person out of respect.

The language has no written script, as the Wumpians have forgotten over time how to translate their language into any form of writing. This occurred because of a resistance to Lemurian tradition. Because of this, translational efforts have been met with tremendous difficulty.

Classification
Linguists debate on whether or not Wumpian should be classified as Polynesian or within a new group, often referred to as the Lemurian language family. The language is currently listed as Polynesian in origin by the World Language Society. Historians are unsure if the language is tied to Polynesian because Lemurians spawned that language themselves during their migrations, or because the Lemurian language was influenced by pre-Lemurian dialect upon their arrival in 4111 BC.

The Polynesian languages form a language family spoken in geographical Polynesia, the Wumpa Archipelago and on a patchwork of outliers from south central Micronesia to small islands off the northeast of the larger islands of the southeast Solomon Islands and sprinkled through Vanuatu. Linguistic taxonomists classify them as a subgroup of the much larger and more varied Austronesian family, belonging to the Oceanic branch of that family. Polynesians share many unique cultural traits that resulted from only about 1000 years of common development, including common linguistic development.

History
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncial_099

After Lemurian civilization was decimated by the civil war in the 10th century BC, survivors fled to N.Sanity and over the years experienced a gradual degradation of their culture and language. This collective amnesia resulted in the written language of Tachak-Lemurian slowly being abandoned and forgotten, as their society was becoming more primitive and no longer saw any use in recording their history. A major resistance against the past was actually being experienced, as the Wumpians shunned their Lemurian ancestors as corrupt users of magicks that resulted in unforetold misery. Thusly, the Wumpians kept the phonetic aspects of Lemurian but no incorporated grammatical rules. This simplification process caused the language to eventually devolve into something distinct, which is essentially the Wumpian language of today.

There are no written texts in the modern Wumpian language, but there does exist ancient copies of hybrid texts written during the transitional periods when Lemurian was shaping itself into Wumpian. The oldest record of this transition is proto-39, a Lemurian manuscript dated paleographically to the 3rd century, AD. The codex is written on a parchment leaf in crude Lemurian script, and already shows signs that speakers at this time were experiencing cultural shifts in their written and spoken language. The codex contains a nostalgic description of Lemurian history prior to the flight to N.Sanity. The script contains many unique elements of the Wumpian language, and is one of the few surviving records leftover before the Wumpians completely abandoned the written form.

The manuscript is now contained within the bibliographical wing of the Royal Society's Museum of Wumpian History in Sydney, Australia.
