Celestial

Sometimes called the language of Chimes and Song, Celestial is an ancient and nearly lost language on Hijr.
Supposedly written and spoken by the Firstfolk, the original peoples of the world, and sadly the language was basically lost with their passing into legend.

On rare occasions, a well preserved manuscript, scroll or tomb carving bearing these strange symbols is found, and scholars from all across the world clamor to copy and translate every small scrap of it that can be found.

It is said that sometimes creatures from other planes of existence will speak Celestial in their dealings with peoples of Hijr, however this seems to be a very uncommon occurrence.

Some scholars and clerics can speak a few words or phrases, but none know it very well.

Phonetics

Celestial sounds to a non-native speaker like the sound of choir singing, wind chimes and the gentle thrum of string instruments.

Tenses

Celestial does not seem to use tense in common use, however there are minor alterations to words that can be used to approximate past or future tense for people that try using Celestial with Common tenses.
With Celestial, things simple ARE, there is no WAS or WILL BE.

Sentence Structure

The language is written, and read, from right to left and from top to bottom.
