Parseltongue has a word for “horcrux”?
If Salazar Slytherin did indeed created Parseltongue, it’s not that unlikely. Slytherin knew various powerful Dark Magics.
Other words you wouldn’t expect snakes to use: ritual, schoolmaster, spell, sacrifice, world, meaningless, murder, obscuration, device, continuity, Merlin’s freaking Interdict...
yeah.
But most of those you’d expect Salazar Slytherin to use when talking to, say, an ancient snake guarding all his dark secrets.
Right. These are further evidence that the language was constructed or at least heavily influenced by humans, and is not snakes’ original natural language.
