Solresol

The solresol is a built Langue invented by François Sudre, born with Albi, died in Paris in 1862, with an aim of being able to speak with no matter whom in the world (even Sourd or blind man) with words being composed of the names of Notes of music: C , D , semi , F , ground , the , if . This one had as an original name " Musical language universelle" in the book of Sudre published in 1866 (that is to say 4 years after its death) then was called definitively Solresol (meaning language in Solresol) as from 1902 following writing of professor Gajewski on the subject.

By connecting the names of note, one creates words. Each word has several possible translations (Synonyme S) and is written either by the whole notes or by their initial (except for ground which is noted so to be different from the if noted S ). Nowadays, some use it by connecting the names of note, and creating words. However the will of Sudre (according to the work of 1866) is clear: the language wants to be initially and especially musical, for thus tending to being universal.

It privileges the musical writing, the book of Sudre defining each word in its musical writing. Only the dictionary reverses which is addressed to the French-speaking public, is written in French-speaking transliteration of the French name of the musical notes. The first version of this language (about 1820) comprised only 4 notes, because she addressed herself really only to the bugle (where cannot be played more than with difficulty 4 notes) and did not have to be vocalized at all.

Here for example some words of vocabulary:

Initially basic words:

  • C --> not, not, not, nor

  • ground --> if (condition)
  • D --> and, like
  • --> the
    • semi
  • --> or, or
  • if --> yes, that is to say, readily, of agreement
  • F --> with, the

Then compounds:

  • gilded (Dr) --> I, me

  • pared (Dl) --> one, somebody, next the
  • domi (Dm) --> you, you
  • dosi (Ds) --> other
  • dosol (Dso) --> oneself, oneself
  • rédo (Rd) --> my, mine
  • resol (Rso) --> our, ours
  • Remi (Rm) --> your, the tien
  • réla (Rl) --> your, yours
  • réfa (Rf) --> its, it his
  • rési (Rs) --> them, theirs
  • mido (Md) --> for, in order to, so that
  • misol (Mso) --> well

Example of use

The universal musical language is an invisible “hero” (except for the lights accompanying the notes), but audible in Rencontres of the third type , film of Steven Spielberg (1977).
