Studies on the Promethean language have progressed significantly since the last update.
A digital catalogue of the language's 26 glyphs have been digitised and converted into a webfont for archival purposes,
as well as for use in the Promethean phonetic translator.
Great thanks is owed to Calligraphr,
for without which the preservation of these historic items would not have been possible.
The phonetic translator is currently incomplete. Updates will follow.
An initial assessment of the Promethean language shows vast similarities to English in syntax.
The primary characteristic differences observed are most obviously the differing glyphs used in its alphabet, in
combination with a rather strange deviation in spelling. Promethean most closely conforms to the Simplified American
English IPA transcription of words as they are pronounced.
With the provision of an adequate sample, promethean text can be reverse engineered.
On the right is a sample of a text extracted from the first Promethean book excavated from the ruins of Prom, in the Middling
Badlands.
Conversion from Simplified American IPA yields this result.
