Jettiz - Draft SCP: International Phonetic Anamoly

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are to be kept in a standard containment storage room in Site-81. When testing, only one glyph of SCP-XXXX is to be written on each piece of paper, each numbered in the order it is supposed to be written in. Only researchers with level-4 security clearance can have access to the full sheet of each SCP-XXXX glyph and their corresponding International Phonetic Alphabet character.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a writing script built of currently 107 recognised glyphs, 50 recognised modifying glyphs, and two transcription glyphs. Each character is shown to have a corresponding character and place in the International Phonetic Alphabet. The glyphs consist of primarily straight lines that overlap and intersect with each other.

When SCP-XXXX is written on an object, the object will then change to match the description given by SCP-XXXX. Any object modified by SCP-XXXX is classified as SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX’s anomalous effects only apply when:

  1. The script is written left to right, up to down.
  2. The glyphs are all written the same size.
  3. The description written is identified as a known recognised language or dialect with 1000 or more speakers current or in the past
    1. The script can only understand the language through purely phonetic transcriptions.
    2. Constructed languages are not guaranteed to trigger SCP-XXXX. Known constructed languages that trigger SCP-XXXX are:
      • Esperanto
      • Na’vi
      • Quenya
      • Sindarin
    3. This also includes dead languages.
  4. SCP-XXXX can be written in either broad transcription or narrow transcription. Narrow transcription is the default transcription, but broad and narrow transcriptions both have a seperate glyph that can be applied at the start of the sentence to denote which transcription is used. How it determines whether the broad transcription is correct is unknown.

It is currently unknown how the script discerns what language is being written or if the transcription is phonetically correct.
