This is a draft, the Xs in the SCP number will be replaced when this idea is greenlit and the page is decided

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX cannot be contained due to it being a sound that All records of SCP-XXXX in the International Phonetic Alphabet shall be wiped and historical Ubykh or Circassian texts or scripts containing SCP-XXXX must be taken in by the foundation to be replicated with any words containing SCP-XXXX changed and made available to the public see addendum XXXX-a. Class-A amnesthetics will be given to speakers of the Adyghe, Shapsug, Kabardian, Cherkessian, Abkhaz, Abaza, and any other Circassian influenced language that has SCP-XXXX in any words and must be replaced with [ʁˤʷ]. Any studies of the Ubykh language must also be taken in by the foundation to be replaced with versions with SCP-XXXX replaced see addendum XXXX-b.

Description: SCP-XXXX formerly known as the █████████ █████ ████████, now generally known as the forbidden consonant, is a consonant that is found in the now extinct Northwest caucasian language of Ubykh. When pronounced, the vocal cords, lungs, and diaphragm rupture, jaw fractures, occasionally the uvula rips off, the trachea sometimes becomes knotted, and other anomalous effects occur to body parts that are in any way related to speech. How these effects happen remain unknown. SCP-XXXX was added to the international phonetic alphabet in 19██ after the ubykh language was studied.

Pronouncing SCP-XXXX didn't affect anyone until the early modern era as there are no Circassian, Kabardian, Russian, Turkish, Persian or any other kind of source from a state that occupied regions of the caucasus near the black sea mentioning any kind of injuries that were previously mentioned, it is suspected that the effects of SCP-XXXX started to occur between 188█-19██ since the amount of speakers of the Ubykh language started to dwindle more and more during those times. There were sizable communities in the regions of today's Krasnodar Krai, Russia and multiple settlements scattered across Turkey. The majority of the Ubykh speakers died out and the rest integrated with the Russians, the Turks, or any other Circassian ethnic group.
Since the northwest caucasian languages are related to each other, SCP-XXXX can be found in the rest of the language branch languages, however they are very rare to come across.

SCP-XXXX has contributed to the extinction of the ubykh language due to the amount of words containing the consonant. The last speaker of the ubykh language, Tevfik Esenç, died while practicing his ubykh after he unknowingly pronounced SCP-XXXX thus making the ubykh language extinct. After an autopsy report was done on his body, it revealed that his vocal chords, lungs, and diaphragm were ruptured in very odd ways. A small misinformation campaign was done and the foundation came in and picked up Esenç's body for study. Tsatsu ███████, a doctor in ██████████, Adygea republic, Russia, died with similar ruptures and a ripped uvula. When Russian authorities came, Tsatsu's assistant, Lihuray ██████, was explaining what happened when he himself also pronounced SCP-XXXX and started to choke, witnesses say he spat out a round piece of meat which was later confirmed to be his uvela. Lihuray died 45 seconds later. Tsatsu's and Lihuray's body were then taken in by the foundation and were able to finally discover SCP-XXXX. Tsatu’s, Lihuray’s and Tevfik’s bodies were later returned for burial.

Addendum XXXX-a
Request for confiscation of all historical Ubykh and Circassian texts containing SCP-XXXX and have them replaced with a near identical version where all instances of SCP-XXXX are replaced with the [ʁˤʷ] consonant to prevent translators and historians from falling victim to SCP-XXXX but having the word as close as possible to its original state.
request accepted

Addendum XXXX-b
Request to confiscate all studies on the Ubykh language and replace all instances of SCP-XXXX with [ʁˤʷ] to prevent others from being victim of SCP-XXXX
request accepted

Addendum XXXX-c
Speakers of a none northwest caucasian language are unable to pronounce

Addendum XXXX-d
request to use D-class of Circassian descent
Approved

Addendum XXXX-e

+ Experiment Log for SCP-XXXX

Experiment Log XXXX-A

Test XXXX-A

Date: ██/██/19██

Subject: White male of English decent. Age mid 40s

Procedure: Subject is to pronounce the Ubykhian word for ██████, which contains SCP-XXXX, after listening to an example of a person saying the word

Results: After multiple attempts at pronouncing the word, the subject was unable to pronounce the word, saying that "he doesn't have the kind of throat to say such things"

Test XXXX-B

Date: ██/██/19██

Subject: White female of Russian descent. Age late 30s

Procedure: Subject is to pronounce the Ubykhian word for ██████, which contains SCP-XXXX, after listening to an example of a person saying the word

Results: Subject was unable to pronounce █ and SCP-XXXX due to her thick Russian accent.

Test XXXX-C

Date: ██/██/19██

Subject:White female of Georgian descent. Age late 20s

Procedure: Subject is to pronounce the Ubykhian word for ██████, which contains SCP-XXXX, after listening to an example of a person saying the word

Results: Subject was unable to pronounce SCP-XXXX. Subject then questions if the word was abkhaz and precedes to go on a rant about the Abkhazians.

Test XXXX-D

Date: ██/██/19██

Subject:White male of Chechen descent. Age mid 20s

Procedure: Subject is to pronounce the Ubykhian word for ██████, which contains SCP-XXXX, after listening to an example of a person saying the word

Results: Subject was unable to pronounce multiple letters including SCP-XXXX
Test XXXX-E
Date: ██/██/19██
Subject: White male of Kabardin descent. Age mid 20s
Procedure: Subject is to pronounce the Ubykhian word for ██████, which contains SCP-XXXX, after listening to an example of a person saying the word
Result: After pronouncing the word, the subject precedes to choke. He then falls unconcious 45 seconds later and dies. Autopsy reveals damaged lungs, diaphragm, and his trachea tied into a knot.
Test XXXX-F
Date: ██/██/19██
Subject: White male of Abkhazian descent. Age late 60s
Procedure: subject is to pronounce the Ubykhian word for ██████, which contains SCP-XXXX, after listening to an example of a person saying the word
Test XXXX-G
Date: ██/██/19██
Subject: White male of Adyghe descent. Age mid 50s
Procedure: Subject is to pronounce the Ubykhian word for ██████, which contains SCP-XXXX, after listening to an example of a person saying the word
Result: subject starts to choke, small amounts of blood are seen rolling down the subject's chin. Subject then falls unconscious 35 seconds later and dies. Autopsy reveals damaged lungs, multiple slashes on the tongue, cut diaphragm, broken jaw, ruptured vocal chords, and uvula hanging on a thread.

---

Conclusions: Subjects of non Northwest caucasian descent, no matter how close they are geographically or linguistically to the branch, are unable to pronounce SCP-XXXX due to it’s difficulty therefore are most of the time safe from SCP-XXXX. However, subjects of northwest caucasian descent can pronounce SCP-XXXX with ease. The effects are unpredictable however they are related to any organs that help with speech.

Addendum XXXX-f
Request to reclassify SCP-XXXX as Neutralised since all words containing the consonant have been replaced.
Request denied
Reason: although SCP-XXXX has been purged from all known words, documents, and scripts there could be a chance where a person may accidentally pronounce SCP-XXXX due to its similarities to other consonants.
