They have created three languages, all descended from the same proto-language. The languages, called Shasavic (Safcyk), Faentian (Fēntā), and Lisatopian (Lisatopa), are described in their YouTube video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nxWoh4NBeE Ch.2 / Constructed Languages]. Most of their videos are narrated in Shasavic, with subtitles in English and Japanese. Lisatopian was created for language study using computers.
They have created three languages, all descended from the same proto-language, Ipket. The languages, called Shasavic (Safcyk), Faentian (Fēntā), and Lisatopian (Lisatopa), are described in their YouTube video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nxWoh4NBeE Ch.2 / Constructed Languages] and on their [https://lamplight0.sakura.ne.jp/a/ personal website]. Their languages' etymology is based on their [[wikipedia:Synesthesia|synesthesia]] which causes them to associate certain sounds. For example, Ly is the word for the major third, because like the major third, LΛMPLIGHT perceives the lateral approximant as sounding "green". Most of their videos are narrated in Shasavic, with subtitles in English and Japanese. Lisatopian was created for language study using computers.

'''Chordonyms''' (Shasavic: ''Nafchaclap'' /nəfxəkləp/) are the system for referring to chords in Shasavistic theory. Chordonyms are formed out of the '''harmononyms''' for each note, in order. Harmononyms are a solmization system based on these ratios. Harmononyms represent movement in different dimensions (excluding 1D due to octave equivalency) to create the names for notes. Harmononyms and their ratios can be explored at the web app [https://lamplight0.sakura.ne.jp/a/music/chalaxata.php?mode=%E6%A0%BC%E5%AD%90&fund=261.6255653006https://lamplight0.sakura.ne.jp/a/music/chalaxata.php?mode=%E6%A0%BC%E5%AD%90&fund=261.6255653006 Chalaxata] (UI in Japanese).
