The International Branches Hub lists articles from other branches of the SCP Foundation that have been translated into English. Most of these translations were originally posted on the International Translation Archive of the SCP-Foundation (SCP-INT), a site where members of various branches post translations in English to make them available to an international audience.
The translator always has the right to have their translation deleted from the SCP Wiki. The author(s) and translator(s) will be treated as coauthors. The author can later request to have the translation deleted, but this will only be done if the translator agrees. Where to post. In all cases you must post to the same unix URL as the original page.

The study of the languages spoken by the Daevites is very much unique in the field of historical linguistics. Many aspects of Daevite culture, their language included, were seemingly developed completely independently from any other culture known to us. As such, the Old Daevite language is remarkably different from all of its neighbours, and is cla...
Due to the fact Old Daevite is an extinct language, its exact pronunciation remains unknown. However, a theoretical realization of the following phonemes has been inferred from transliterations of Daevite words into neighbouring languages.
Grammatical Gender
Quite unusually for a language of Siberia, Old Daevite possessed a thorough grammatical gender (or noun-class) system. This system affected pluralization as well as verb conjugation. When referring to groups containing multiple genders, a hierarchy was employed to determine which gender to use for the whole. The group was always referred to using the "highest" gender contained by it. The genders of the Daevite system are as follows, from highest to lowest in the hierarchy:
Noun and adjective declension
Old Daevite possessed three grammatical numbers - a singular, a plural, and, interestingly, a null or "zero" number not found in any other language of the region. As an example: The singular number is always unmarked. However, nouns in the plural and null numbers are marked with an affix that denotes their number and gender, as is any adjective referring to them. These declensions are as follows: Possession is, in turn, managed by a completely separate set of suffixes which are marked on the...
Diminutives
A rarely-attested system of diminutification existed in Old Daevite. From the few occurrences that exist of it, it seems to have operated by the reduplication of the last vowel and the last consonant in the root. This diminutive form could then be used either derogatorily (as in "urdalal", "little king", attested as a mocking title for an unknown foreign ruler) or endearingly (as in "xaofaof", "little flower", attested as a nickname of a mother to her daughter).
Pronouns
The Null pronoun was primarily used to refer to the nouns the speaker was unaware of. This was particularly useful for forming questions, although the restrictive nature of the pronoun meant Old Daevite questions only accepted nouns as answers, and questions were always phrased appropriately for that restriction. As an example: Demonstrative pronouns10were formed by adding a demonstrative suffix, -ne, to the end of any existing pronoun.
The writing system of Old Daevite was an abugida14, written top to bottom, left to right. This is due to the script originally developing as a method of writing on trees, although due to their organic nature, few inscriptions in this medium are available for modern study.
Daevite reverence of prime numbers, particularly seven, extended into the numeral system used in their language. While it is the opinion of most researchers in the field that the system described here was not the one used by the majority of the Empire's population15, it was likely the system used in documentation and high-class speech, and hence is...
