| '''Trinitarian''' is a liturgical, auxiliary language, designed to create tripartite thinking. That is, it is an expression of the uniquely Trinitarian worldview.
| |
| | |
| == Philosophy ==
| |
| Eastern religions teach that everything is ultimately One, whether that is [[Wikipedia:Brahman|Brahman]] or [[Wikipedia:Ātman (Buddhism)|Atman]]. The West is becoming ultimately Monistic. For example, it is considered highly profound nowadays to note that "we are all made out of star-stuff." Another system of worldviews are Dualistic (e.g. Zoroastrianism, Taoism, Gnosticism, Cartesianism, Platonism etc.), which teach that everything is ultimately Two. The Biblical wordview is unique, in that it teaches the equal ultimacy of the One-and-the-Many, in that God is Three and One. Such "three-ness" is very difficult to comprehend, and so often degenerates into "two-ness".
| |
| | |
| Let us take time for an example. God is infinitely extensive in regards to time, extending infinitely backwards and infinitely forwards. The created order is finite, have both a beginning and an end. However, this false dichotomy either exalts or debases human beings, who are neither God nor exactly like creation. We have a beginning and no end. The three geometric shapes analogous to these choices are a line, a ray, and a line segment.
| |
| | |
| == Grammar ==
| |
| Trinitarian attempts to force the speaker to think in groups of three. Dummy objects are needed for intransitive verbs. There are forms of every word: Active, Passive, and Abstract.
| |
| | |
| One of the most interesting ways Trinitarian forces us to face our creatureliness, is by the cycle of time-changes that happen to all words. Put simply, the cycles are:
| |
| ; Day vs. Night : In general, voiced consonants are spoken in the day and voiceless at night. e.g. /bed/ becomes /pet/ and back again
| |
| ; Winter vs. Spring vs. Summer vs. Fall : Every year, the language blooms into trills, quiets into consonant clusters, dies down and loses labialization/nasalization, buzzes into fricatives and cycles back again.
| |
| ; Weekend vs. Weekday : The Sabbath Day was made to be enjoyed, and so is full of singing, tones, and diphthongs!
| |
|
| |
| == Orthography ==
| |
| Trinitarian is meant to be useful and part of our modern world. Everything can be written with the standard Latin alphabet, without diacritics. In certain situations, forms of words that are not "seasonal" are written using 5-digit numbers, though this is discouraged.
