| SCP-XXX, with an unknown language written on it |
|---|
Item #: SCP-XXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXX is to be contained in a secure lockbox in Storage Facility ██ at Site ██. Permission from a Level 3 personnel or higher is required before SCP-XXX can be handled for experimentation. It is suggested that any personal handling SCP-XXX be multilingual. If any experimentation on SCP-XXX is to be done, a trained linguist is to be present. Any personnel handling SCP-XXX is to wear a level 3 biohazard containment suit. In the event of contact with SCP-XXX the personnel should be isolated until the trained linguist can ascertain the effect SCP-XXX has had upon the personnel.
Description: SCP-XXX is a stone weighing approximately 2.2 Kilograms. SCP-XXX appears to be a fragment of a larger stone tablet, as of ██/██/20██ no other stone fragments exhibiting the properties SCP-XXX have been found. The carvings on SCP-XXX will periodically change into what are apparently other languages. Languages identified include: Old English, Modern French, Classical Latin, Cherokee, various Polynesian dialects and [DATA EXPUNGED]. Examination of the writings lead researchers to conclude that the tablet SCP-XXX was broken off of was being used to describe some catastrophic event, but due to the small size of the fragment, what this incident was can not be determined.
When a human being makes skin contact with SCP-XXX, the subject will promptly forget a language that he or she knows. It will be replaced with another language at random. If the subject is multilingual, he or she will forget one language at random. The languages vary from languages still spoken on Earth, to dead languages, to languages that have no known record of existing on Earth.
SCP-XXX was found on 03/18/19██ by Dr. ██████, an archaeologist, in ██████, China. Reports of his staff being suddenly unable to communicate with each other lead to Foundation intervention, Class A Amnesiacs were given to all involved, and the affected staff were taken into Foundation custody.
Addendum XXX-1: After the results of Experiment-XXX-5, SCP-XXX has been updated to Elucid class.
Addendum XXX-2: Attempts to use SCP-XXX to gain a person capable of translating the information contained in [DATA EXPUNGED] have been suspended, due to the unpredictable nature of SCP-XXX.

Notes on the SCP-XXX derived language spoken by D-XXX-18
The language has a highly complex sentence structure. Position of subject in sentence is based of a complex mixture of social structure and personal feelings the speaker has
It possesses thirteen unique vowels, including several sounds previously not thought possible for human vocal chords to make.
The written language is just as strange. Being written not in any sort of column. Instead it's written in squares spiraling into the center. Words are represented by 596 unique characters compounded into groups of three or more.
