Atlantean language
The Atlantean language is a constructed language created by Marc Okrand for Disney's film ''Atlantis: The Lost Empire''. The language was intended by the script-writers to be a possible "mother language", and Okrand crafted it to include a vast Indo-European word stock with its very own grammar, which is at times described as highly agglutinative, inspired by Sumerian and North American languages.
== Concept/Origin ==
The Atlantean language (''Dig Adlantisag'') is a historically constructed, artistic language put together by Marc Okrand for Disney’s 2001 film ''Atlantis: The Lost Empire'' and associated media,〔 The Atlantean language is therefore based both on historic reconstructions or realities as well as on the elaborate fantasy/science fiction of the ''Atlantis: The Lost Empire'' mythos. Here are the fictional bases upon which the Atlantean language was created: Atlantean is the “Tower of Babel language”, the “root dialect” from which all languages descended. It has existed without change since sometime before 100,000 B.C., within the First or Second Age of Atlantis until the present. This is when the Mother Crystal (''Matag Yob'') descended to Earth and brought enlightenment to the Atlantean people. It is preserved by the presence of the Mother Crystal in the same way that The Shepherd’s journal, the City of Atlantis (''Wil Adlantisag''), the Atlantean people (''luden''), and especially its royalty (''yaseken'') are preserved, healed, and given extended blissful life.〔Kurtti, Jeff. The Mythical World of Atlantis: Theories of the Lost Empire from Plato to Disney. New York: Disney Editions, 2001, 48–56, 88, 89.〕
To create this, Dr. Okrand took common characteristics of all world languages and applied them to the Proto-Indo-European language. His main source of words (roots and stems) for the language is Proto-Indo-European,〔 but Okrand also uses ancient Chinese, Biblical Hebrew, Latin and Greek languages, along with a variety of other ancient languages or ancient language reconstructions.〔Kalin-Casey, Mary. “Charting Atlantis the crew behind Disney’s latest animated adventure takes you behind the scenes.” Features Interviews. 17 January 2007 (Reel.com ) 〕〔Murphy, Tab, Platon, David Reyolds, Gary Trousdale, Joss Whedon, Kirk Wise, Bryce Zabel, and Jackie Zabel.
