Taish Capillai

Taish Capillai is the name given to the language used in the earliest section of the Taijis Nil, especially those sections found in the Amin Duum Taijis Nil. It is not a language generally spoken anywhere in the Amnari Alliance, but is a form of early Amnari, a pidgin developed by members of The One Hundred Thousand to communicate with each other when they had no overlapping linguistic knowledge. Taish Capillai contains elements of a range of different languages and linguistic forms that were designed to effectively share, for future generations, what happened at the time of The Rending War and The Rending itself.
As the shared language evolved to become modern Taish Amnari, it began to incorporate more features from a wider range of languages outside of those used by the writers of the earliest sections of the Taijis Nil, who were predominantly Taija. The term "Taish Capillai" has roots in the language of the Taija as it was spoken at the time. However, it is important to note that although Taish Capillai can be used to effectively study the earliest forms of Amnari language, it does not feature the sign language components that are a standard feature of Modern Amnari. The exception is in any sections using direct speech, including a range of early myths, where spoken or signed words are indicated with special glyphs.
Taish Capillai is not widely taught beyond the age of twelve for most children, except for those participating in a Scholar track. However, it is possible to study the language without taking this track or hoping to be a member of that particular class, and this is often encouraged. Children and young adults are also encouraged to spend some time practicing the language and its requirements in the later years of study in preparation for the Bala Dura. Because the Dura part of this tradition requires knowledge of the details of the events of the Ashcanesh, the Rending, and the Rending War, being able to at least read the language as written in the Taijis Nil itself.
