Site Language English Author Simon Whitechapel Script Type Other Description Odoric (also known as Odoryc, Odorous, Dendric, Dryadic, Floric, and Floral) will be a language of odors used by many races of intelligent tree and a few races of intelligent flower for an indefinite period between 15,000,000 and 20,000,000 years in the future. Its native written form will evolve late and be based on chemical markers laid down within leaves and roots as a mnemonic for individual trees. In this form, it cannot be represented directly by a script suitable for human eyes, but Odoric will also be written by a non-plant species: an advanced race of intelligent squirrel that will discover and transcribe the language about 28,000,000 years in the future. This Sciurine (Squirrel) Odoric is presented here in one of its several forms. As can be seen, the letters, or osmemes, of the script fall into six eight-letter scent-series named after the closest equivalent scent in the present-day plant kingdom. Each letter is transcribed into Roman using the initial of the scent in the series to which it will belong, plus a (subscripted) digit indicating its place in the series: the second letter of the Jasmine series is therefore J2 and the fifth letter of the Honeysuckle series H5. Influences H.P. Lovecraft, possibly Tolkien's Entish in The Lord of the Rings (1954-5) and Aldous Huxley's scent-organ in Brave New World (1932). Languages Used For Odoric.
