Skandimo

The Scandian Language (ᛋᚴᛆᚿᛞᛁᛘᛟ, Skandimo [,skandi'moː]), or the Common Scandian language (ᛋᛆᛘᛖᚿ ᛋᚴᛆᚿᛞᛁᛆᛏᛆ ᛘᛟ, samen skandiata mo), is the global language of the planet Skandia, and it is greatly admired for its cultural neutrality. The grammatical structure of Scandian is very different from that of the other languages of the planet Skandia, with only a few words having an origin connection. All humans on the Ariadne system are fluent in Scandian. Of the 5 billion people living on the planet Scandia, at least 4.1 billion have a Scandian language as one of their mother tongues; and 800 million people living on other planets and in the three major space station cities are in a Scandian environment. By combining intrinsic roots, Scandian has sufficient terminology in all disciplines and can constantly derive words to express new concepts.

Linguistic Affinity
Scandian is an isolated language belonging to the Scandian language family; the Scandian language now spoken belongs to the neo-ornian branch of the Scandian language family. The origin of the Scandian languages is not universally agreed and has always been a source of debate in academic circles.

Alphabet
The Scandian language uses the Scandian letters (ᛋᚴᛆᚿᛞᛁᛆᛏᛆ ᛋᚴᛆᚢ, skandiata stau), which has evolved from the Runic letters. This is a fully phonetic script, containing both consonants and vowels. The Scandian letters can be converted fairly easily into Latin letters for easy reading, and example sentences will be in Latin transcription. In addition, the Scandian alphabet is largely punctuated in line with the Latin alphabet, except for the horizontal bar "-" used to connect two different roots, which is replaced by the silent letter ᛜ (mes).
