Octalang is a constructed language which adopts every other language. It does this by converting a source text's characters' values (á la Unicode) into octal numerals, where each digit corresponds to a letter in Octalang. Thus, Octalang inherits the source language's grammar and lexicon. Therefore, every language is considered as a dialect of Octalang.
Wihtout further ado, here is "Hello World" in Octalang:
(ọọɵ)(ọǫ̂ộ)(ọộǫ̂)(ọộǫ̂)(ọộø̂)/(ọoø̂)(ọộø̂)(ọɵ̂o)(ọộǫ̂)(ọǫ̂ǫ̂)
The full specification is given in paper.pdf.
Translating to Octalang:
python3 scripts/txt2octl.py <text>
Translating from Octalang:
python3 scripts/octl2txt.py <text>
PSA: Make sure that you have enabled a font that can properly display the characters (e.g. Consolas).
There are also two scripts for simple echoing:
octl2octl.py: takes Octalang text, translates to natural text, and back to Octalang texttxt2txt.py: takes natural text, translates to Octalang text, and back to natural text
