About Gaian
The language of Magical Girls in the ch.32 world-setting.
Paralleling the usage of "language" (really, language-like code) in MS Lyrical Nanoha (and taking inspiration from Japanese, Lojban, and programming languages such as Python), this language should have a ton of small but stringable morphemes that connect to formulate semantic clusters.
The object of the language is to be used in order to cast spells, and as such it is more of a programming language than any kind of way to meaningfully communicate ambiguous messages (although I suppose that a "print()" function would exist in it).
