The Catalog of Languages

Item from The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins

Carolyn's domain — every language that has ever been spoken, written, or thought, including the languages of animals, the dead, and mathematics itself.

Also known as: the language catalog, Carolyn's catalog, the languages

What They Know

• Assigned to Carolyn — her millennia of study have made language and communication extensions of her cognition
• Contains every language that has existed: human, animal, mathematical, divine, and extinct
• Mastery of this catalog grants understanding of communication itself — not just words but intent, structure, and manipulation
• The language catalog is adjacent to the math catalog — communication and mathematics share deep structural roots
• This catalog is why Carolyn can navigate the human world while her siblings cannot — she speaks 'normal' fluently
