OpenAppendix A · Language of Eden
OpenLanguage is
difficult to kill.
Burn the books and it survives in names.
Silence the speakers and it survives in lullabies.
Strip a word of its meaning and sometimes the mouth keeps carrying it anyway.
Seanchaol survived that way.
Seanchaol
The ancient language of Eden. Meaning and resonance exist together within it.
Seanchaol is the ancient language of Eden. Its sounds draw on Irish, and some of the oldest phrases survive in a form that sounds like Irish. Read its words as belonging to the world of the books.
Pronunciation
Only pronunciations that have been confirmed are recorded here. Stressed syllables are in capitals. Where a word has no guide, its sound has not yet been recovered.

- Read not through analysis but through felt knowledge, a sympathetic vibration between you and the stone.
- Carved into the walls of the Forge. At the base of the Root pillar, one of them is Naeryn’s name.
- Tiny glyphs are etched along the curve of the Keeper’s mark.
