ADAGANA AS SOUND TECHNOLOGY: Language as Functional Technology in Ancestral Afrikan Systems

This paper establishes Adagana as a pre-textual sound-technology rather than a symbolic or descriptive language system. Drawing from Afrikan ancestral knowledge frameworks, it argues that sound, tone, rhythm, breath, and silence were engineered as functional tools affecting physiological, psychological, and environmental states. The paper rejects the modern assumption of linguistic neutrality and situates Adagana within disciplined, embodied, and ethically constrained transmission systems. It further explains why written reconstruction alone is insufficient and outlines contemporary implications for responsible speech and linguistic realignment. This work forms the second paper in the Adagana series, contributing to decolonial linguistics, ancestral technology studies, and sound-based knowledge systems.
