Heptapod B

Description:
This is a written language used by a group of aliens who arrived on earth in 2016. No one knew where they were from and why they were here unannounced. All we learned from them was their spoken language Heptapod A, which is impossible to produce with human voice, and their written language Heptapod B.

Heptapod B is perhaps the most unusual written language of all time. Its grammar does not require the element of time. This is a very new concept to human beings, and it can be hard to comprehend at first. However, the documented vocabulary of Heptapod B is very small, so it is not difficult to learn. Moreover, this written language is perhaps the most visually pleasing language.

Characteristics:

  • Incomplete documentary
  • Easy for beginners
  • Only writing system
  • Unusual, but learnable grammar
  • Aesthetically pleasing writing
