Language Name Ascian Language Author Gene Wolfe Site Ascian Broken Link No Site Language English Language Type professional fictional language Uniqueness The Ascians, from Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun, subordinate their will to The Group of Seventeen to such an extent that they only use sentences from a Group manifesto in their utterances -- any other speech is forbidden. The manifesto is a book of patriotic and philosophical sayings and aphorisms that forms the basis for how Ascia is run. For instance, the set phrase "One is strong, another beautiful, a third cunning. Which is best? He who serves the populace." can be translated as "On this farm lived a good man."
