The name Sarus is derived from 'srs' which in the language itself, simply means 'language' Imagine if the notes of a flute, or a sequence of colours actually had a specific meaning. Wouldn't you love to learn that language? You could have a song where the lyrics means one thing, but the tune itself means something completely different.. You could have a tapestry or a painting in which the colours tell their own story. I have been fascinated with a very old invented musical language called Solresol (a word from the language itself which simply means 'language'). The language was invented in the last years of the 19th Century by a French dude who designed it to be a Universal language... translatable to colour, melody, hand-signals (both touch and sight, for silent tactile communication), stenographic glyphs, numbers and more. It is pretty much extinct nowadays. It was quite popular in the early 1900's throughout some parts of Europe, but as far as I know, the last people to actively (and successfully) promote its use were in France sometime in the 1960's. Therefore, original Solresol stuff is extremely hard to find. This lack of available resources frustrated the hell out of me, so I've come up with a language whose concept and principles are based heavily on Solresol. In fact, at first glance you might say it's exactly the same.. but if you know anything about the two, you'll see a couple of major differences:
Since I first heard of Solresol, I've wanted to incorporate it into Brackenwood somehow. To have entire messages hidden in sequences of colour and phrases of music I've always thought to be a brilliant concept. Well now it's time to use it, and because the original is sadly in pieces and utterly lost to history, I've decided to rebuild it. If you are one of those people who are passionate about invented languages, don't email me saying that my version is full of holes, or I'll swear at you really loudly. I'm not a professor of languages, but even I can see that there are fundamental flaws in my version of the language. Unlike the original, I haven't designed this to be a universal language for use by all races. I've simply designed it for use in my cartoon series! I have however, tried to keep it easy to learn and use... and the reason for that is this: I'll be placing hidden messages throughout my movies from now on. Any new movie you see on my site from this day forward will contain passwords, information, etc encoded in Sarus. Hope this inspires you to learn it HERE is the latest Dictionary. Keep in mind that the language is undergoing changes in this very early stage, so from time to time, you may need to unlearn certain definitions. History:

The Basics The english alphabet consists of 26 letters soreso consists of just 7, which are usually called syllables. Every word in the entire soreso language is simply a combination of 1 or more of these syllables. ----- the syllables are: do ré mi fa so la ti for abbreviation, these syllables are written: d r m f s l t ----- typical written words in soreso (srs) look something like this: dmld mrrs msr rdft mt etc.. to say the above words, you would pronounce them like this: domilado miréréso misoré rédofati miti ----- having only 7 syllables, means that there are only seven 1-syllable words, which are reserved for some frequently used words. These are: d means no r means and m means is and be f means at and to s means if l means the t means yes there are 49 possible 2-syllable words (7x7): dd, dr, dm, df, ds, dl, dt rd, rr, rm, rf, rs, rl, rt md, mr, mm, mf, ms, ml, mt fd, fr, fm, ff, fs, fl, ft sd, sr, sm, sf, ss, sl, st ld, lr, lm, lf, ls, ll, lt td, tr, tm, tf, ts, tl, tt there are 343 possible combinations of 3-syllables (7x7x7) but triple syllables are not used (ddd, rrr, mmm, fff, sss, lll, ttt) therefore there are 336 3-syllable words. Very basic communication is possible with these 392 words, but then there are the 4-syllable words, of which there are 2401. Again, triple and quadruple syllable words are not used in the language. ----- In case you haven't noticed, do re mi fa so la and ti are all notes of the musical octave. This means that words and phrases may also be played on a musical instrument or written in musical notation. Note that for the words to be understood as musical notes, the listener needs to have very good pitch training. Nevertheless, a message encoded into music exists there and sits waiting for someone to recognize it. (Who knows what messages are in existing music today?) As well as musical notes, the language may also be expressed silently with the 7 colours of the rainbow, (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet).There are countless ways to communicate with srs, but other notable ways include number-sequences (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7), special glyphs ( ) and hand-signals, which will be covered later.----- be sure to check out the other learning resources to find out more about srs |
