Slinguists |
A clade derived from the same research that created the Ireaders, and which first came into existence during the early First Federation period. Going beyond the modifications that created the Ireaders, it gave its recipients not just an instinctive childhood ability to learn written communications, but made that highly efficient childhood learning process a permanent second 'layer' of ability when learning to communicate. One 'layer' is the standard communication ability of a baseline human with the second being effectively the ability to rapidly learn languages possessed by a baby, extended to all perceptible forms of communication and maintained through life, and feeding into the 'adult' layer.
This modification and mode of through proved to be very useful and very effective. It spread across many of the sophonts of Terragens space with many transapient entities, in particular, having this modification.
Those with this modification have become known as Slinguists, from 'Super-Linguists'.

Ireaders - modification - later clade - with increased linguistic ability, extending it to give an instinctive childhood ability to learn not only spoken but also written language, as easily as an unmodified baseline human learns to speak.
Slinguists - modification - later clade - more advanced than Ireaders, having not just an instinctive childhood ability to learn written communications, but made that highly efficient childhood learning process a permanent second 'layer' of ability when learning to communicate.
Slearners modification - later clade - similar to Slinguists, but augmented in all the learning abilities of the sophont, allowing the acquisition of all kinds of skill, major and minor, physical and mental, with the same ease as a very young child.
