It is important to understand that [[Zoraï]] language consists of two essential parts. The actual speech, the spoken word used in daily communication, and the sacred writing, the [[Zoraï pictograms]]. Interestingly enough the pictographic writing of the Zoraï is quite impersonal; it does not include any pronouns, neither does it have any references to time of day or the season of the year. It seems that the Zoraï people have used pictographic writing to record the most important truths, the mantras that are often repeated over and over again to form ornamental patterns on buildings or weaponry. The study of [[Zoraï pictograms]] helps scholars better understand the philosophy and mentality of this mysterious people.

It is important to understand that Zoraï language consists of two essential parts. The actual speech, the spoken word used in daily communication, and the sacred writing, the Zoraï pictograms. Interestingly enough the pictographic writing of the Zoraï is quite impersonal; it does not include any pronouns, neither does it have any references to time of day or the season of the year. It seems that the Zoraï people have used pictographic writing to record the most important truths, the mantras that are often repeated over and over again to form ornamental patterns on buildings or weaponry. The study of Zoraï pictograms helps scholars better understand the philosophy and mentality of this mysterious people.
