A language made from one symbol.
Proohio has no alphabet of shapes. It has no ink beyond a single letter. Everything that can be said, can be said with a — and the silence between it.
Proohio is a signal-language. Everything written in it is made from exactly three ingredients — and the marks between them carry all the meaning.
The only mark that exists in Proohio. Every sound, every word, every idea is built by repeating and spacing this one symbol.
A single slash splits one letter from the next. A double slash splits one whole word from the next. Nothing is left to guesswork.
Meaning lives in the pattern, not the symbol. Short bursts and long bursts of a, arranged in rhythm, become letters — and letters become words.
Proohio is built on two basic sounds and two dividers. Learn these five rules and you can read anything written in the language.
| Letter | Proohio Code | Letter | Proohio Code |
|---|
Tip: read left‑to‑right. Every "/" starts a new letter, every "//" starts a new word — count the "a" clusters in between to read the sound.
