Delphinic Trinary
A common term for what is also named Delphinese; the language of the Dolphin race of uplifted sophonts.
The name Delphinic Trinary is in reference to its three-layered logic system. It is a complex aural language of acoustic signals.
Additionally, Dolphins use a language called Primal Delphinic. Before the uplift, Humans communicated with dolphins using this simplified combination of sign language and verbalisation. This language was largely lost among Humans, but Dolphins (especially Historian-Poets) remember it. It is mainly a single-direction language, from Human to Dolphin, and although understanding would be imparted by the Dolphin with head movements or flipper gestures, they could impart nothing even remotely complex back to Humans.
In practice, Dolphins use Language Translators to communicate with other sophonts; plus, the vast majority of Dolphins also learn Anglic.
