About Origin River Wisdom
River Wisdom is a liquid language. A large, uniquely chosen phonetic inventory represents the beautiful subtleties in the sounds of water. Encouraging the feeling of a stream, this language is agglutinating, allowing for the formation of a complete thought with one or few words.
For example, the sentence heviizuɹoqλæn. (translating to "You are always wise.") is formed from the combination of paricles meaning: human (he), declarative mood (ø), present tense (vii), the conjugation of the verb "to be wise" in the singular, second person (zuɹoq) and the particle indicating an habitual aspect (λæn).
