  • Where the empyreal lord Valani (pronounced wah-LAH-nee) touches the world, verdant land springs forth. His acts teach mortals that although the world is an abundant place fit for man's growth, through nature's force nothing lasts forever.
  • Valani [vala'ni] is a dead language which probably was spoken in the North of India by a mysterious tribe called Valanilamā. The unic proof of the existence of this ancient language is a couple of parchments which was rescued on the mountain Kāmet, not far from Tibet. The evidences report an accurate explanation of the main Valani phonetic rules, as well as prayers, songs and mystic tongue-twisters. It has been verified by some historical researches that Valanilamā people believed tongue-twisters to be a sort of gate to reach the Divinity with their own minds. This Divinity is often described as a kind of ecstastic condition of mind and body. This Divinity was called "Karā" (God, sun, light).

  • Valani [vala'ni] is a dead language which probably was spoken in the North of India by a mysterious tribe called Valanilamā. The unic proof of the existence of this ancient language is a couple of parchments which was rescued on the mountain Kāmet, not far from Tibet. The evidences report an accurate explanation of the main Valani phonetic rules, as well as prayers, songs and mystic tongue-twisters. It has been verified by some historical researches that Valanilamā people believed tongue-twisters to be a sort of gate to reach the Divinity with their own minds. This Divinity is often described as a kind of ecstastic condition of mind and body. This Divinity was called "Karā" (God, sun, light). One of the strangest feature of Valani is that it has no numbers. The concept of singular and plural (or dual) was completely ignored by Valanilamā. Cardinal numbers were expressed by associations with natural elements or body parts. For example, to say the number 'two' they used the term "yumarǣ" which means 'eyes', 'both eyes', because every person has actually two eyes. To express the number one, they used the word "Karā" refering to the 'sun', because there's only 'one' sun on the earth. This page use a latin transcription. You can see an example of the original Valani script here (link not available yet).
