Introduction
Language is the expression of human communication. According to the "Handbook of Linguistics and Language Communication Tools " published in Germany, there are now 5651 languages identified in the world. Generally speaking, each ethnic group has its own laguage, and language is one of the important characteristics of the nation. 2
Chinese, English, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, French are the main languages in the world and the working languages of the United Nations. Chinese is the language with the largest number of mother tongues in the world, and English is the most widely spoken language in the world. Language and writing are two concepts, often with language first and writing afterwards. The three elements of language are phonetics, grammar and vocabulary, which is a phonetic meaning system composed of words according to a certain grammar. According to the characteristics and origin of language, the languages of the world are divided into different language families. Each language family includes a number of languages. These languages have a certain geographical distribution, and different languages are constantly developing Learn from integration.
As far as the definition is concerned, language is a sound (image) instruction with a unified encoding and decoding standard formulated by the communication needs of similar biological species. The substantive definition language is a command system that uses sounds and symbols as the material shell and meaning as the connotation, which is composed of vocabulary and grammar and can express human thought. Speech, gestures, and expressions are the expression of language on human limbs, and text symbols are the visual symbols of language. Language is produced in a specific environment for the needs of life, so a specific environment will inevitably have a specific brand on the language. In addition, language is a medium for people to exchange ideas. Therefore, it will inevitably have an impact on politics, economy, society, technology, and even culture itself. The cultural phenomenon of language is constantly evolving, and its present spatial distribution is also result of past diffusion, change, and development. Therefore, only in a space-time environment can we fully and deeply understand its relationship with natural environment and human environment .

Language is also a bridge between different species. Possibility is the wealth that language brings to me. This book, based on my personal life experience, I tried to reorganize the two languages I can understand, English and Chinese, as well as other languages that I am interested in, to try to find the similarities in different languages . Then combine these studies and designs into my own language. All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. (Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights)

The origin of language
The theory of language origin can be divided into two hypotheses: continuity and discontinuity hypothesis. The basic idea of the so-called continuity hypothesis is that language cannot be formed suddenly, but there is a process that must have evolved from the pre-linguistic system of the early ancestors of human primates.
4
The discontinuity hypothesis believes that some unique features of language appear suddenly during a certain period of human evolution, and are also related to the evolution and mutation of human genes. There have been many studies on continuous evolution in the past, and there are many assumptions. Among people who continue to study now, some think that human ancestors produced language-related symbolic systems from gestures, and vocal language also slowly emerged as humans evolved. Others think that language imitates the sound of nature, or it is an exclamation. When I was a child a few decades ago, I was taught that people are created by labor-this is what Engels said, people are animals that can make tools, and language is also created by labor. For example, our ancestors needed to communicate when workingtogether,and a voice was produced from the gesture. But because there is little direct evidence, it is difficult to do empirical research on the origin of language. In the past decade, with the advancement of science, new methods can be used for research.
New methods can be used for research. For example, you can look at the anatomical characteristics of humans from fossils and observe how they evolved, or you can use a computer to simulate this process. Some scholars have emphasized the influence of the social nature of language and human social and cultural cognition on the origin of language.

Because I can speak two languages, English and Chinese, I decided to start rsearching on the historical development of English and Chinese. First, the historical development of English.

My chosen language
Based on research, I decided to divide my language design into three parts. The first part is the choice of numbers, Arabic numbers.
10
Around 500 AD, with the rise and development of the economy and caste system, mathematics in the Punjab region of the northwestern Indian subcontinent has been in a leading position. Astronomer Aye Biheite has made a new breakthrough in simplifying numbers: he records the numbers in a grid, if there is a symbol in the first grid, such as a dot representing 1, then the second grid The same dot represents ten, and the dot in the third grid represents one hundred. In this way, not only the digital symbols themselves, but also the order in which they are located also has important significance. In the future, Indian scholars have drawn the symbol as zero again. It can be said that these symbols and representations are the ancestors of Arabic numerals. But also the order in which they are located also has important significance. In the future, Indian scholars have drawn the symbol as zero again. It can be said that these symbols and representations are the ancestors of Arabic numerals.
Arabic numerals Adoption in Europe
The reason the digits are more commonly known as "Arabic numerals" in Europe and the Americas is that they were introduced to Europe in the 10th century by Arbic-speakers of North Africa, who were then using the digits from Libya to Morocco. Arabs were also using the Eastern Arabic numerals (0123456789) in other areas.
So I decided to use this Eastern Arabic numerals to design my language.
I further abstracted these ancient numbers and finally designed them into graphical shapes.
11
In the design process, I found that these numbers are very similar to cuneiform.
12
Adoption in China
Positional notation was introduced to China during the Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368) by the Muslim Hui people. In the early 17th century, Europan-style Arabic numerals were intrduced by Spanish and Portuguese Jesuits.
13
Oracle numbers
The number sign in Oracle is a pictogram of knot counting. The first nine Oracle numbers are records of numbers 1-9, and the last four are place value symbols. Compared with the current uppercase Chinese numerals, the word "one" is basically unchanged, and the "two" and "three" are only adjusted by the ratio of the length of the horizontal painting, oracle writing. 14
In 2002, the lacquered wood rods discovered at the site of Xiangfen Taosi in Shanxi Province were black, green, and red. The rods were regularly distributed. The study believes that they are closely related to the shadow length of solar sunshine. Therefore, this expression is solar sunshine. Scale with shadow.

Weather symbol from Chinese ancient gossip array
Gossip is a profound concept of ancient Chinese culture, a set of meta-philosophical symbols composed of three groups of yin and yang. Its profound philosophy explains natural and social phenomena. It is the same tool used in the Chinese culture as the "Yin and Yang Five Elements" to deduce the relationship between various things in world space time. Each hexagram shape represents a certain thing.
16
Qian stands for the sky, Kun stands for the land, xÚn stands for the wind, the earthquake stands for the thunder, the kan stands for the water, the distance stands for the fire, the gèn stands for the mountain, and the jiao stands for the Ze. Gossip is like eight infinitely invisible big pockets, which contains everything in the universe. Gossip matches with each other and turns into sixty-four gossips. It is used to symbolize various natural phenomena and personnel phenomena. Eight Diagrams refers to the general term for the eight parts surrounding the palm in Chinese medicine. Gossip represents the culture of Yi-study and permeates all areas of East Asian culture.

These eight symbols represent different weather changes in the gossip, of course, there are more meanings, but I will not discuss them here. I use these weather symbols as part of my language.

Icelandic Runes
Icelandic Runic was created by Alexander R. as an adaptation of the runic script for Icelandic. He created it while researching if it was possible to write any modern language in runes. He thought that most languages cannot be written in runes, until he realised that Icelandic and medieval runes hvae a lot of similar letters. Runes are the characters that make up ancient writing systems, known as runic alphabets, of various Germanic languages. Before the adoption of the Latin alphabet, runes were the dominant form of writing in northern, western and central Europe. 20
The exact origins of runes are debated, but runic archaeological findings date back as far as 150 AC. Runologists believe the system to originate from earlier Old Italic epigraphs such as Old Latin or the Raetic alphabet of Bolzano.

Nordic Ancient Rune Magic
"World-Stars" is a classic Rune combination rune (Bind-Rune). The most classic example is the magic spell called Helm of Awe (The Awe Tray) from The Galdrabok, the Book of Icelandic Magic. World Star is indissoluble, because the runes used will overlap with the creative elements of the magic rune, and it is impossible to know which runes are specifically used. Next, we will discuss the creation process of the world star by creating magic symbols by example. 24
Before we start rune creation, we must first clarify what our purpose and intention are. For example, in the following we will create a "helm wheel", which can radiate magical energy through the spokes in the magic symbol to the objective universe. We will use the creation elements of the basic World Star Magic Rune (as shown) and an ancient Nordic rune spell called Luwatuwa, namely Laguz, Uruz, Wunjo, Ansuz, Tyr, Uruz, Wunjo Ansuz, the sum of the values of these 8 runes is 66, and 66 can be decomposed into 6 and 11, (6 is the number of creation and destruction). This spell is quoted from page 103 of Futhark: A Handbook of Rune Magic by Edred Thorsson.
25
Then we briefly introduce the constituent elements to be used. In Northern Magic by Edred Thorsson, Edred Thorsson explained that this type of rune is composed of three fields. Figure A is the branch of the rune, and the three circles represent three areas. The first circle represents the inner domain (Inner-Being), the second circle represents the subjective universe (Subjective Universe), the third circle represents the objective universe (Objective Universe), the rune will be placed where it needs to be influenced by the spell The place. Figure C is a straight line bifurcation represents the energy radiates outward and prevents energy from flowing back. The same is true of the smooth "double fork" but it has a far-reaching effect relative to the former, that is, capturing negative energy to prevent it from being transferred to the holder with the return energy (as shown in Figure D).
26
And Figure E is a bifurcation much like Algiz, he also represents the outward radiation of energy. Figure F is the circle placed at the end of the bifurcation, representing energy circulation and automatic replenishment. Figure G shows three straight lines used to accelerate and amplify the energy flow in the rune. If the straight line shown in Figure G is added to the bifurcation shown in Figure C (as shown in Figure H), it is to prevent the loss of magic energy. The last structure (Figure I) is a short arc used to capture the energy of the backflow to prevent it from harming the user of the rune. It is often used on the structure shown in Figure D or directly added to the first The second domain (representing the subjective universe).
Translations from Understanding the Galdrabok by Greg Crowfoot, for communication and learning only
27
Then we start the process of creation. First, we place 4 straight branches with short lines on the 8-angle branches (as shown). At this time, it not only represents the radiation of energy but also the energy can last for a long time and stable operation (this is why we do not use the simple Algiz fork, we want to create a more lasting spell).
28
Then we will combine a single rune. We keep the straight line of the first rune Laguz and perform a symmetrical operation. The second rune Uruz is the same, but we will also reverse it. Then combine them.
The reason why we want to reverse it is because in the end our rune energy is to be radiated to the outer universe instead of sending it back to the center of the rune energy. Although this seems to reverse the rune's influence by reversing the rune, in fact, the meaning of the rune is given by "human", so its influence is not due to the rune Reverse and reverse. At the same time, according to the tradition of Chaos Magick (Sigil-Magic), they should retain their "positive" property before the mirror symmetry. Therefore, this kind of mirror symmetry should also be included in the original spiritual number formula to maintain their consistency. By combining the symmetrical Uruz and Laguz we also got Tyr. So we have two runes left, they are Ansuz and Wunjo. Since they also appear in our spiritual number formula, they must also be mirror-symmetric and placed under the Uruz-Laguz-Tyr combination.
29
This combination will be placed on the four corners that have not yet been processed.
But our runes are not completed.
30
We will place 4 rounded "double forks" on the combination mentioned above to capture the negative energy. At the same time, we will add three horizontal lines to the original four corners as energy accelerators and form Tyr runes to evoke victory and success. Then this rune is truly completed.
The holder of this rune will encounter something pleasant (Uruz-Laguz-Tyr). The fourth rune also formed a straightened and transformed Sowilu. This rune is not included in our magic number spell, so we can call it or not. The value of our magic symbol at this time is 264 (four repetitions) and 68 (4 Tyr variants) or 332, which represents the coordinated operation of two forces, here "two powers" represent the magician himself And the magic power he evoked in the runes. If the Sowilu rune is taken into account, the sum is 396, which is divisible by 3 and 9 (this is a more powerful number). After the creation of the rune, let's take a look at the specific use of the rune. Our magic rune can be carved on metal or wood, or painted on parchment. In the Nordic rune magic tradition, each combined rune must be given power according to certain conventions, so that the rune can take effect. Generally speaking, the magician needs to calculate the Runic Hours (Runic Hours) and sculpt the combined runes. The so-called rune time is to perform the magic operation according to the single rune in the combined rune, and there are two ways to select the time, that is, the operation is performed at the time corresponding to each rune and the rune is only symbolized by the main magic will. Operate at the corresponding time. During the operation (the process of carving), our ritual should begin Sator-Arepo mantra recitation at the beginning and end, that is, from "SATOR", then "AREPO" then "TENET" then "OPERA" and finally "ROTAS". This process should be reversed when expelling the magical energy we use after the ceremony.

Oera Linda Book
The Oera Linda Book is a manuscript written in a form of Old Frisian, purporting to cover historical, mythological, and religious themes of remote antiquity, from 2194 BCE to 803 CE. Among academics in Germanic philology, the document is widely considered to be a hoax or forgery.
32
The manuscript first came to public awareness in the 1860s. In 1872, Jan Gerhardus Ottema published a Dutch translation and defended it as genuine. Over the next few years there was a heated public controversy, but by 1879 it was universally accepted that the text was a recent composition. Nevertheless, a public controversy was revived in the context of 1930s Nazi occultism, and the book is still occasionally brought up in esotericism and Atlantis literature. The manuscript's author is not known with certainty, hence it is unknown whether the intention was to produce a pseudepigraphical hoax, a parody or simply an exercise in poetic fantasy.

Egyptian hieroglyphs
Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. Hieroglyphs appeared in ancient Egypt more than 5000 years ago, that is, the Egyptian script. The Egyptian script is the oldest script, engraved by the earliest pictographs of the armor joint plate of Pharaoh Namer (AD 3,100 years ago), the ancient Egyptian script used in the church until now.
62
Later, it was called Hiérpglyphe by Europeans-this is a compound word composed of Greek "sacred" and "inscription", which means "word of god", that is, ‘‘God Stele’’. It is usually written on a paper called ‘‘Papyrus’’ (papyrus). The ancient Egyptians believed that their writing was made by Thoth, the god of the moon, the god of calculation and learning. Ancient Egyptian belongs to the Egyptian-Coptic family of the Semitic-inclusive language family. The earliest language of this language family is Ancient Egyptian, which is the language recorded by the hieroglyphs we have seen. By the 4th century, it had evolved into Coptic. Now, Coptic is still used in religious ceremonies.

Strokes of chinese charactes
Stroke (bǐ huà) usually refers to the dots and lines of various shapes that make up Chinese characters without interruption, such as horizontal (one), vertical (丨), apostrophe (丿), dot (,), fold ( ) It is the smallest continuous stroke unit that constitutes the Chinese character glyph. Strokes sometimes refer to the number of strokes, such as the Chinese character stroke index in front of the book. "Stroke" can also be used as "stroke" when expressing these two meanings, but it is now standardized as "stroke". In addition, strokes also refer to pictures drawn with a pen. This term is generally used in ancient books, and people do not often use it or not. There are eight basic strokes of traditional Chinese characters, namely "point (,), horizontal (1), vertical (丨), apostrophe (丿), poke (㇏), mention (㇀), fold ( ), hook (亅) ", also known as "Yongzi eight methods." On January 30, 1965, the "Printed General Chinese Character Glyph Table" issued by the Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China and the Chinese Character Reform Commission, and the "Modern Chinese Common Character Table" issued by the National Language and Character Work Committee and the People's Republic of China Press and Publication Administration in March 1988 "Specifies five basic strokes: horizontal, vertical, skimming, point, and break. So I used these different strokes to redesign as part of my language.

Nvshu
Nushu is a phonetic syllable of Chinese dialects for Hunan Jiangyong Nushu. Nvshu's works are written on the refined handwriting on the canvas (wedding gifts), fan, bupapa, and paper. Some are embroidered on the veil, called "embroidery". Women here have the habit of singing halls, often get together, while doing female red, singing and teaching female books. The activities for women to sing and learn female books are called “reading paper”, “reading fan” and “reading par”, forming a unique culture of female books.
68
Bian Xianghe's research on anthropology puts forward the understanding of Jiangyong Nushu in China: Jiangyong Nushu is the only character in the world that exists specifically for women. At the same time, it is another form of expression of Chinese characters. There will be a new window for understanding and understanding Chinese culture. When discussing the Japanese katakana with the famous Japanese cultural scientist Hu Qizeran, Bian Xianghe believed that Japanese katakana had the shadow of Chinese female script. I found this language very interesting because this language has a design system, which forms this interesting text.
69
Oracle
Oracle Bone Inscription is an ancient Chinese script. It is the earliest mature Chinese character we can see at present, mainly referring to the characters engraved on the tortoise shells or animal bones used by the royal family in the late Shang Dynasty for divination, and is the earliest known system of Shang Dynasty characters in China and East Asia A carrier. Oracle Bone Inscription is one of the Chinese Taoist scripts.
70
It was first discovered by the villagers in Xiaotun Village, Anyang, Henan. At that time, they did not know that it was an ancient relic. It was only used as a medicinal material "dragon bone" to cure all kinds of diseases. Many valuable cultural relics were discovered. Later, Wang Yirong, an official of the late Qing Dynasty and a lithologist Wang Yirong, discovered the oracle bones from the oracle bones from Anyang, Henan, during the twenty-five years of Guangxu (1899). Xiaotun Village, northwest of Anyang City, is the site of the Yin Ruins, the capital of the late Shang Dynasty. In more than 100 years, there have been more than 154,600 pieces of oracle bones unearthed through archaeological excavations and other means. In addition, there are also Oracles appearing in other areas of Henan and Shaanxi. The era extends from the late Shang (about 1300 BC) to the spring and autumn.
Oracle has a symmetrical and stable pattern. Prepare the three elements of calligraphy, namely the use of pens, knots, and chapters. Judging from the number and structure of the fonts, Oracle Bone Inscription has developed to a more rigorous system of text. Principle of "six books" in Chinese characters is reflected in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. But the traces of the original pictorial characters are still more obvious, the pictographic meaning is more obvious. Therefore, I used some Oracle to redesign, and then combined according to the redesigned strokes.

The way to wirte my language
According to the text language I designed, I used English grammar for the grammar part first, and every time I can use it, I can use it from the Oracle bones I designed. Since the language rules I designed are the same, every letter or noun can be connected. I hope you think this could be interesting.

Patrick went home at nine in the evening, opened the door, and looked at his dog. Then went to the kitchen, ate an apple, prepared to roast chicken. Opened window and saw a bird.

116
At the same time, you can also find your name in the language I created, and then put the letters at the end of the spell to create your own amulet.
