The Sarian language is classified as an elemental language, comprised of several dozen two-or-three letter words as building blocks, and then when combined with others, form larger, more descriptive words. Clauses, phrases, and sentences are quite liquid, with one word flowing into the next with very little pause — one who understands Sarian will be able to hear the blocks, or elements, amongst the entire span of the discourse. While quite elaborate when spoken, Sarian is difficult to write for the novice. It is a glyphic language, with glyphs representing blocks, not letters.
