Langwidge is a rank-2 temperament whose generator is a perfect fifth, and it is constructed with purpose of spelling the minor triad wrong, as C-D#-E instead of C-Eb-E.

Langwidge is a rank-2 temperament whose generator is a perfect fifth, and it is constructed with purpose of spelling the minor triad wrong, as C-D#-G instead of C-Eb-G.

The name "langwidge" originates from Adam Neely's video "''Is Cb The Same Note as B?''", where he mentions that there's "nothing technically incorrect about spelling the word language as "langwidge", but word structure-wise the information is different<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZftrA-aCa4&t=210s&pp=ygUYSXMgQyMgdGhlIHNhbWUgbm90ZSBhcyBC Is Cb the same note as B?] by Adam Neely</ref> because it's not spelled right. In addition, he goes on to mention about how the "order of spelling in Western music theory is sacrosanct".

Line 5:

In this case, the temperament's generator is [[3/2]], 9 of which yield [[38/1]], meaning [[19/16]] is mapped to C-D#. This means, when octave-reduced, this would require spelling the 16:19:24 triad as C-D#-E and not as C-Eb-E, producing this peculiar violation of standard Western music theory.

In the 5-limit, the [[schismic]] temperament is similar, in which the 10:12:15 minor triad is spelled as C-D#-E.

In the 5-limit, the [[schismic]] temperament is similar, in which the 10:12:15 minor triad is spelled as C-D#-G.
