Jabril al-Azani (jah-BREEL al-ah-ZAH-nee)

Inventor of the Universal Translation Protocol

Jabril al-Azani of Azania was a polyglot and mathematician, fluent in the tongues of traders, poets, and sailors. Yet even with his gift, he lamented how often words stood as walls rather than bridges. His quest was not only to speak but to harmonize, to bring languages into resonance with one another.   Between 2218 and 2221, Jabril completed the Universal Translation Protocol. Using encoded resonance lexicons, his system aligned meaning across languages in real time. For the first time, conversations flowed without pause, misunderstandings melted away, and councils of many nations could truly speak as one.   The Protocol was transformative in diplomacy, commerce, and culture. It turned the babel of tongues into a chorus, each voice retaining its uniqueness while joining in shared understanding. Jabril’s legacy is celebrated not as one who replaced languages, but as one who let them sing together.
