In Angai, the Theasphere encompasses Europe and Northern Africa. Eastern North America could also be included due to its Thean-speaking majority.

Languages

Before tonogenesis, there is a strong tendency towards two typologies:

  1. Northern Europe: analytic with strong final stress (Thean, Kua, Æ, and Danishmandi)
  2. the Mediterranean area: agglutinative with no stress

The most spoken language is Thean, spoken in most of continental Europe and North Africa; however, different and often unrelated languages (e.g. stages of Æ and Kua) are spoken in certain areas, especially islands:

  • British Isles
  • Iceland
  • Malta
  • Crete
  • Hungary
