Desertic (Emi Asar Unenes or Emi Ater) is a Senaslavatic language originating from the Hunetic Desert. Desertic is derived from vulgar Senaslavish and acquires most of its grammar and diction from Senaslavish.
Desertic, like Senaslavish, was designed as a artistic and liturgical language for Aseretism, a non-fictional philosophy.
History and Geographic Information
The creation of Desertic is attributed to the lone wanderer in the story "The Way of the Angels" (Desertic: Giner Aser Anetas). In the sixth part of the story, the wanderer meets an aseretean angel, or nymph, named Heomýrete (Senaslavish for "the singing one"), who tells him to remember a prayer. Heomýrete gives him the prayer in Senaslavish, however the wanderer cannot speak in that language, and instead utters the prayer in a new language, Desertic.
Though a story, the first recorded literature in Desertic is the prayer given by Heomýrete, "For Subtle One" (Desertic: O Aserete), and is thus viewed as the figurative birth of the language.
The Hunetic Desert or simply Unenes does not refer to a specific desert, however to higher elevation deserts. The Mojave Desert, however, is the only desert of this type to be plainly referred to as Unenes (Desert). Though no specific desert is given in the story, "The Way of the Angels" it is thought to take place either in the Mojave Desert or one inspired by it.
