Fundamental Types

the set of words which are semantically connected

In Astralica,

Grammatical words are categorized into different topics,

vocabularies in the same topic or category should look alike or related.

These "topics" are called "Fundamental Types".

Each Fundamental Type has it's own symbol.

Afterwards, each Fundamental Type is going to have its own chapter

Here are the Fundamental Types:

Fundamental Types are Axiomatic

Just like most of the other normal languages, even math,

Astralica has to start with something bizarre

(like out of nowhere) so the name of the fundamental types will be arbitral and heavily inspired by

English, Japanese, and Chinese.

Fundalmental Type Evolution & Pronunciation Cropping

Sometimes the fundamental types will be cropped in order to make some of the words shorter.

These pronunciation will be used when a fundamental type is used with a / a group of modification character(s)

From the diagram belong, we can also see how Fundalmental Types are derived or inspired

Modification Characters

These fundamental symbols are radicals of some of the grammatical words that we will tackle in future chapters, but just these symbols themselves are not enough.

In this case, a / a few Modification Character(s) is/are required to attach more information onto the word.

When a group of modification characters are used with a radical, the whole pronunciation of the word should be "Radical - Modification0 - Modification1 - ... - ModificationN".

Sometimes, a modification character alone with it's radical can be interpreted in a meaningful way, and thus can be pronounced as "Radical - self".

Warning

Some Fundamental Groups will share some of the same modification symbols.

This does not imply that they must be related somehow.

One way to understand this is that when a modifier is attached to a different radical, it behaves differently and means different things.
