Anglosaxon dictionary               43%     (E; A; R; D; H, I)
Egyptian Hieroglyphs                 42%      (E; H; A; T; S)

Conclusion: As the Greek Alphabet is unrelated to Ancient Greeks, Hebrew Alphabet is unrelated to male and female hebrew linguistic culture.Hebrew alphabet emerges at 33% with He. It reaches a Plateau at 8%-4%. It might be related to Egyptian hieroglyphs.

So what are we looking at? Phoenicians in the A-R linguistic group become Lowland Scottish males. Lowland Scottish females with the alphabet introduced by Phoenicians and the Language applied to it by Lowland Scottish families carry it down to North Africa around the time of the Doggerland flood. Berber males descended of lowland Scottish females migrate East and carry the Alphabet, and its 'language' and the linguistic influence of their scottish female ancestors with them becomming Hebrew Males taking females of Arabic descent as wives. The newly introducsd 'alphabet' seems to be influencing Anglosaxon development.

Conclusion: this Protoindoeuropean subgroup comes in as 100% L. Purely by selection. We have a timeline for the rise of settlements. We begin at 69%. At 30% something is destroyed. At 28% they are forced into nomadic way of life. It looks like they mill grain for food.

There is a bandgap at 25%. Pretty sure I missed the word Hel (Gold) from my list so it may not be a bandgap. 

First Settlement at 22% along with salt (putting them by a sea?). At 20% there is a prominent hill. 
At 18% they establish a high place, fortified. They have wool (sheep or goats), and flour from grain.
They find a forest at 12%. -Hule Forest. At 11% they find pepper and olives. At 9% timber screen,

Linguistic Archaeology: Not saying its Aliens, but its Aliens

 

Alien languages are going to be a problem. The universe isnt just a Box full of x, y, z. Its got singularities. Every singularity is at the bottom of a gravity well. The same way the universe emerged from a singularity at the bottom of a gravity well.. so if the universe is tye projection above the singularity in the bottom of the gravity well, a singularity in the universe is also a nesting doll of reduced sets transmitting not just their own universe, but out there in the universe. So a signal passing between two points is going to pass through subset noise.

Now if that signal is using the noise of a subset we are transmitting - passing through the beam of our torch - and we turn off the torch retracting what we were transmitting into the torch, we can essentially recieve that transmission.

Linguistic Archaeology: creating using indetermanant datasets

 P A R T   T W O   -   I N D E T E R M A N A N T   D A T A S E T S

Its a real pain when your dataset cannot be resolved sufficiently to identify its relationship to a single linguistic group or to subgroups. You can get this where your dataset is rediculously small, but you can get it with any size dataset if these are real cultural trends.

Here we have L and G as equally dominant values. And oddly as result of random chance of rolling dice. It makes it difficult to differentiate the group to G or L specifically. Some of these names have -g as suffix. This is like the Vanog tribe. There are two with G- prefix. Like the Grilth tribe. The Kobblekem dont use G. And there are five names that fall in this category. The Ubirgh have *g* value in tribe names. While we cant differentiate to seperate groups, we can divide individual tribes and tribe names. Of Orcs. That provides some setting development. The culture rises toward a cultural peak.

Tribe: Vanog
Common Names: Bbhlgg, Nloilg, Rllng, Rbkmg, Loomeg. (G dominant)

Tribe: Grilth
Common Names: Ggigroolblo, Gglbgm. (G, L, B dominant)

Tribe: Kobblekem
Common Names: Bhhllh, Iihki, Rrnlln, Bonrlh, Orrelo. (L dominant)

Tribe: Ubirgh
Common Names: Iohggggmb, Oolgibrbbgml, Obglhk, Igkrbiblobl, Rgkgr, Obegio, Hilghr, Mhbbhoblge (G dominant).
Note: *g* is the name form.

So there we have a bunch of Orcs and individuated to specific tribes. We cant realy pin them down, though A-L and L-A are their limits.

Linguistic Archaeology: creating using Small Datasets

P A R T   O N E   -   S M A L L   D A T A S E T S


These can be a pain simply because you need more information to make use of the linguistic subgroup. Just knowing your orc tribes are all part of the G linguistic group is fine but if you create a linguistic trend you want to be able to apply it to other aspects of the Setting. Creating a clean development chain allows for use of substitution cipher dialect variations and additional background.

What we can immediatly get is that Orc tribes are of the G Linguistic Group. Unfortunately the dataset is so small that the thats as much as we can get. If someone else is of the G linguistic group, we cant extract a dialect variation.

At 50% Ubirgh might be *birgh, Grilth might be Gril*h. Here the difference in alphabet is B vs L. So for the *birgh the word 'Bigg' might mean 'great, large, mountainous' while the dialect variation for the Gril*h is 'Ligg'  which sounds more like League (3×mile). So for this orc tribe it refers to a large distance as opposed to a large object.

Vanog would be *og and Kobblekem would be *obbl*. The *og have much smaller alphabet to work with, but are at least related to *birgh and Gril*h. *obbl* on the other hand are related to Gril*h, *birgh, and *og sharing the exotic valuss  of each of the other tribes as their collective descendent or dividing dialect source and now unrelated to the G linguistic group entirely.

We can still get information from it that can be used to develop the setting specific to Orcs:

Orc word generator (tribes names, personal names, and dictionaries).
