Circular Gallifreyan

General information
Gallifreyan is the language used  by the Time Lords from the planet Gallifrey . There are several forms of written and spoken Gallifreyan.

Spoken Circular Gallifreyan evolved from Modern Linear Gallifreyan. The writting is sub-divided in:

''A complex system of interlocking circles. Used in every day life, computers and TARDISes.'' ''Its use is similar to cursive in English and other human languages. Mostly seen in poetry. ''
 * Collapsed Circular Gallifreyan
 * Long Circular Gallifreyan

Many of its words sounds like frustrated grunts and clucks to most other species. Gallifreyan has thirty tenses, ten of which are for discussing alternate universes caused by events discussed in the other 20. It is not uncommon for Time Lords, when discussing the future, to suddenly shift into an alternate-universe tense. Most of the nouns and adjetives are compounds words, making them very long and complicated. Fortunately, with the introduction of Modern Gallifreyan, these senteces-like words became shorter.

Gallifreyans only evolved a language when it became necessary to discuss concepts which could not be adequately expressed telepathically, such as quantum physics. Many concepts, particularly those relating to emotions, can still only be truly expressed telepathically.
