Rosakeat is a [[fictional diachronic language and was created by Maknas. It has been used for a translation of the Babel Text. It is written with a unique script.
Language sources
The phonology was clearly influenced by Russian, as it has a complete series of palatalized consonants alongside the nonpalatalized. Morphologically, Hebrew was the main inspiration, as its triconsonantal root system inspired Rosakeat's broken root. The syntax is mostly new. The inspiration for the nasty spelling came from English, although the realization is completely different.
Design principles
The main goal was to get far from the IE model, yet still be a realistic language.
