Amino Acid (language)

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

Amino Acid (in Amino Acid: METHISGLŮOCHRE; in RNA: AUGCAUGAGUGA ; more commonly referred to as Lingua Amino Acidia) is a Finno-Uralic language spoken throughout the world and in most of the Milky Way Galaxy. It is currently Earth's alleged second most spoken language and considered the lingua franca of the Virgo Supercluster. Despite this, there are virtually no non-native speakers (see Learning).

[edit] Classification and related languages

Lingua Amino Acidia's classification is debatable. It is widely accepted that it is distantly related to the widely-spoken DNA language and RNA. The three of them make up the proposed sub-family known as Biochemicus-macromolus with Lingua Amino Acidia coming from the Proteinus branch and the other two coming from the Nuclea branch. Some linguists, however, debate that there exists no connection between the languages whatsoever.

Lingua Amino Acidia supposedly stems from the Finno-Uralic language family.

[edit] History

Due to the unclear classification of Lingua Amino Acidia, the history of this language is uncertain. However, linguists know for a fact that this may be the oldest language in the world as prokaryotic organisms known as archæbacteria utilized the language as a means of communication during self-mating rituals.

[edit] Official status

Since Lingua Amino Acidia is mostly spoken in ribosomes these days, it has little to no official status on Earth except as a minor language in a few bacterial colonies. However, a few trans-Saturnian astronomical objects such as Titan, Alpha Centauri, Uranus and Öpik-Oort Cloud recognize this language.

[edit] Grammar

Lingua Amino Acidia is known for having grammar unlike that of any other language in the world.

Sentence structure is incredibly strict; mispositioning a word can result in incoherent junk with disasterous results.

A basic sentence has one and only one of each of the following components:

• MET – This starts every sentence. This is attached to the beginning of the first word.
• Either AMBER (denoting that the sentence is merely a statement), OCHRE (an exclamation) or OPAL (a question). These are attached to the end of the last word.

Thus, there exists some sentences like this: METAMBER (.) METOCHRE (!) METOPAL (?)

Occasionally, some combinations such as AMBERAMBERAMBER (...), OCHREOCHREOCHRE (!!!), OCHREOPAL (!?) are seen at the end of sentences. However, these are generally regarded as improperly transmitted data as a result of entropy and are therefore ignored.

Other words can be added optionally. The meaning of the word depends on the location of the sentence and each location represents a predesignated part of speech:

MET

1. Object section
   1. Object
   2. Adjective
   3. Intensifier adverb modifying adjective
   4. Postposition
   5. Demonstrative
2. Agent section
   1. Agent
   2. Adjective
   3. Postposition
   4. Demonstrative
   5. Interjection
3. Verb section
   1. Verb (always at end)
   2. Negator adverbial
   3. Temporal adverb
   4. Intensifier adverb
   5. Expletive adverbial

AMBER/OCHRE/OPAL

The type of word is assigned using the above list based on the number of words in the sentence, starting with the verb in verb section, then the object in the object section, then the agent in the agent section. If all three exist in the sentence, words are added to each section, starting with the verb section, then the object and finally the agent. Thus, a sentence with 13 words will be constructed like this:

(OBJECT)(ADJECTIVE MODIFYING OBJECT)(INTENSIFIER ADVERB MODIFYING ADJECTIVE)(POSTPOSITION)(DEMONSTRATIVE)(AGENT)(ADJECTIVE)(POSTPOSITION)(EXPLETIVE ADVERBIAL)(INTENSIFIER ADVERB)(TEMPORAL ADVERB)(NEGATOR ADVERBIAL)(VERB)

Note that in the verb section, parts are added right to left while in the other sections, parts are added left to right.

Once all parts have been used, sections are used again starting with number two of the verb section. A sentence with 25 words will look like this:

(OBJECT)(ADJECTIVE MODIFYING OBJECT)(INTENSIFIER ADVERB MODIFYING ADJECTIVE)(POSTPOSITION)(DEMONSTRATIVE)(ADJECTIVE MODIFYING OBJECT)(INTENSIFIER ADVERB MODIFYING ADJECTIVE)(POSTPOSITION)(DEMONSTRATIVE)(AGENT)(ADJECTIVE)(POSTPOSITION)(DEMONSTRATIVE)(INTERJECTION)(ADJECTIVE)(POSTPOSITION)(DEMONSTRATIVE)(EXPLETIVE ADVERBIAL)(INTENSIFIER ADVERB)(TEMPORAL ADVERB)(NEGATOR ADVERBIAL)(EXPLETIVE ADVERBIAL)(INTENSIFIER ADVERB)(TEMPORAL ADVERB)(NEGATOR ADVERBIAL)(VERB)

Note that interjections come last in the list while expletive adverbials come relatively early. As a result, interjections are rare and only used by long-winded people.

[edit] Writing system

Although classical Lingua Amino Acidia is written using trigraphs in the form of drops of amino acids, nowadays, it is written using specific combinations of three Latin letters. (AMBER, OCHRE and OPAL are notable exceptions. However, many do not consider them to be true letters.)

The twenty-three letters of the alphabet are as follows:

LYS ASP ARG SER ISO MET THR GLU ÅSP GLY VAL ALA TYR TRY CYS LEU PHE GLŮ HIS PRO AMBER OCHRE OPAL

[edit] Learning

Despite the large number of speakers, there are virtually no non-native speakers of this language, even where it may have a use. This is a result of various native speakers of both this and RNA acting as translators for ribosome workers.
