The mythological origins of the language of Fenekere
When the Great One, ‘e, gave birth to all of their children, the Ktletaccete, and created the world out of their own body for their children to live on, each of ‘e’s children had an Art that they were the master of. One of the Ktletaccete was the Linguist, and one of the first things they did was to create a language for their siblings to speak to communicate with each other. They named this language Fenekere.
What the Linguist did was to give each of their siblings a unique name that consisted of four syllables, and that name would function as a root word in Fenekere. They gave Fenekere 31 consonants in order to accommodate the population of the Ktletaccete, which was 900,000. This created 923,521 root words, so the extra root words were assigned to the linguistic structures of Fenekere itself, a set of pronouns, and names for the natural laws and elements. Regardless of what it refers to, each root word functions as if it means, “the Artist of performing this Art”.
Until the Ktletaccete encountered other cultures, Fenekere served their purposes wonderfully, and many works of fiction and history were written using it. However, upon the tearing of the Hole in the Sky and the arrival of Outsiders, Fenekere proved insufficient to communicate with other peoples, and it was used in the construction of a pidgin and then a creole with the dominant language of the Outsiders, Mäofrräo. This new language is called Inmararräo.
However, to this day, Fenekere is still used as the instruction language for the computer networks of the Exodus Ships that the Ktletaccete are using to explore the universe.
