Ame-no-Shitagatari

Ame-no-Shitagatari (天あめの下した語がたり, Lit. "language of heaven") (天下語) is a modified form of the Japanese language.

Background

During the Sengoku period, the Fuuma clan, one of the most powerful families of the Taimanin system, created a language that adopts the two-millennia-old ancient symbols as its script and reuses the lingual techniques of Old Japanese.

Script

While the modern Japanese script can be used to write in Amenoshitagatari, it is essential for the language to be written in "oracle bone" script, the ancient writing system of the East Asian people during the Bronze Age and the earliest known predecessor to the modern East Asian languages.
