Radarasilikan
Radarasilikan is a constructed language written and developed by Scott Alexander. Although initially created as a diversion from boredom during school lectures, it was eventually adopted as the fictional language of Hyperborea.
The language is mostly based on a number of lexical roots of the form CVCVC. These roots take suffixes that serve both inflectional and derivational purposes, defining a word's part of speech and providing semantic information about the meaning. This is further augmented with prefixed "particles", which are really prepositions, conjunctions, auxiliaries, and degree words, and a negation. Further suffixes can be added, for instance, to specify person or tense, and there are numerous smaller words in the language, too, that serve as prepositions, complementizers, and so-forth. The language has some very unique features, like the "eternal" tense used to describe unchanging things.
Unlike most Shirerothian conlangs, Radarasilikan actually has a user-friendly guide to learning it (linked below). In spite of this, Scott is likely the only person who can use the language competently or even understand it at all.
Here is an example of what the language looks like:
- mebela daruníđ sekela omihita - Love is and shall be ever the foundation of the world.
