Lweltelk

Jump to: navigation, search

In the beginning of the XXth century, during British excavations near the Sumerian site of Ur, was disinterred a set of tablets covered with unknown signs. Their deciphering in 1962 by Luc-Alban de la Batelière showed a language called lweltelk, without connection to any Mesopotamian known languages. Since then, many hypothesis, none of them being really convincing, have been made (amongst which the most extravagant is certainly the one saying it's the tongue of Atlantis…) If its syntactical structure can remind of Chinese or other Asian isolating languages, its morphology and lexicon are not related at all to them.
