Arcane Linguist

Chapter 52 The Birth of Siris Pinyin
When Roland was in a daze, the city of sky, Nieves.

A group of mages who lived, studied, or worked here gathered to hold an arcane salon.

Large long tables, heavy high-backed chairs, sparkling silverware and wine glasses, high-hanging magical crystal lamps...

Everything is so luxurious and elegant.

Several well-dressed and well-mannered mages were chatting, chatting about various topics in a relaxed manner.

Naturally, it is inseparable from the hottest oracle bone inscriptions and its magical achievements.

"As we all know, our Alterian language is not bad, but the writing system is really terrible."

"That's right, its grammar is cumbersome and its vocabulary is confusing. Even experts at the expert level often fail to express their meaning, which has become a serious obstacle to the development of arcane arts.

It would be great if a suitable new type of magic text could be found as an official standard and vigorously promoted. "

All agreed with these views.

Gallo, Oxea and other members of the Autodochs school arrived, just happened to vaguely hear these discussions, and couldn't help but turn dark.

They used to manipulate public opinion before, but the current situation seems to be that fate is mercilessly mocking them.

Facts have proved that those tricks played before are not worth mentioning in front of the results of arcane arts.

Do you want to say that the mages of Arterine are not unfamiliar with square characters like oracle bone inscriptions?

Of course unfamiliar.

Are you used to letters and words and find it awkward?

Of course it's awkward.

Are you willing to increase the cost of learning and consume time and energy?
Of course not.

but……

Who told it to be easy to use?

Gallo, Oxea and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, but it was a bit sad to find out that he also came here to study oracle bone inscriptions.

The theme of this salon is to learn to write square characters.

If you don't learn it, you won't be able to keep up with the new arcane arts!
"Forget it, recognize yourself and your opponent, even if you fight a hundred times, you won't fail..."

"We really need to study this kind of writing carefully..."

"Speaking of which, this thing is really awkward, such a weird structure, so many strokes, such a strange combination and free expression..."

Gallo sighed.

Oxea sighed.

The crowd sighed.

"This is the masterpiece of the Elevation School. According to the law of language development, it should appear before writing."

The conversation of others continued.

"It's a pity that this kind of text has no pronunciation, and my attainments in this area are not high...

Otherwise, if you formulate a set of pronunciation rules for it, you can follow it and become famous. "

"That's right, you have to keep up with hot spots in arcane arts these days..."

"In my opinion, it's better to debut as a star..."

Jia Luo was stunned suddenly, with a look of sudden realization on his face.

"Gallo, what's wrong with you?"

Oxea and the others sensed that something was wrong, and they couldn't help asking strangely.

"What do you think will happen if we formulate a set of pronunciation standards for oracle bone inscriptions?"

"You...you can't joke, can you?"

"According to the Intellectual Property Protection Act, this set of things needs to be paid to Roland as a royalty!"

"Emptyism is our enemy!"

"Hehe, I knew you would say that, but I'm not joking, but serious!"

Gallo regained his previous self-confidence, shook his finger, and began to explain under the bewildered eyes of everyone.

"Words are symbols of pronunciation. Although this kind of square characters looks strange, it is essentially similar to the letters of the Atlas language, nothing more than a few more."

"This... is still very different, right?"

"I think there's a big difference."

Everyone was not sure whether Gallo was blinded by prejudice, or whether he possessed far more knowledge than them, and even discovered some laws that they hadn't noticed.

But they really couldn't agree with this statement.

Unexpectedly, Jia Luo smiled evilly, but said with a bit of insidiousness: "Who knows, if you guide it from the pronunciation, everyone will recognize this point?"

"You mean to use the standard of pronunciation to control the language!"

Seeing that everyone finally caught up with his train of thought, Gallo called them to the other side, and said in a low voice: "Yes, as long as our plan can be widely recognized first, even Roland, the inventor himself, will gradually lose respect for it. Take control!"

"This idea sounds good, but it should not be so easy to implement."

"Besides, Roland will definitely be prepared."

When Gallo heard this, he smiled even brighter.

"Don't you know how difficult it is to form a fixed standard for this set of things?

The standard of pronunciation is much more difficult to constrain than an inert thing like words! "

Gallo, as a high-level arcanist, of course knows that there are many species in Alteraine, and many intelligent races have very different physiological structures.

Various planes, worlds, countries, regions, nations, species, and periods have brought various dialects.

Even two villages that are more than ten kilometers apart may have their own unique village dialects!
"Roland is authoritative, and it is impossible to completely eliminate the pronunciation standards he introduced, but as long as we seize the opportunity and have enough influence, we can slowly erode his right to speak, and then affect the formation of this school. ...

Time is the most terrifying force. As long as the Oracle language is not truly unified, all kinds of differences will make it split, distort, and gradually deviate from the original development track!
He is a little trainee mage, and he can't control the development of language! "

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help admiring Jialuo.

Join if you can't beat it!

This is about to start the high-end game.

Oxea asked a question: "Will Archmage Orvisto watch us do this?"

"Hmph, is the Archmage intervening? Even the Archmage Orvisto may not be as accomplished as we are in this area!"

The field of arcane arts is complicated and profound, and they are both masters of linguistics. Some are good at languages, some are good at words, and various magical structures are divided into many different schools and fields.

Not to mention archmages, even legendary mages, if they happen to be not that good at this aspect, they will not be afraid.

At this moment, a person hurried into the salon with a newspaper in his hand.

"Everyone, good news, good news!"

He yelled as soon as he came in, even disturbing the background music.

Many people expressed their dissatisfaction at him, but they saw that the other party said a word on their own.

", was born today!"

"Sai... Siris pinyin?"

"What do you mean?"

"You can understand from the "Arcane Bulletin"."

Everyone heard the words and checked one after another.

Gallo couldn't help but panic when he heard this.

Why does this scene seem familiar?
