Introduction

oñ Fruwi is a language designed for no species in particular. In-universe, though, it is spoken mostly by humans and a species of tall, twelve-fingered humanoids. The Haishi dialects are mostly spoken by humans, while the Sontrai dialects are mostly spoken by the humanoids. The Haishi dialects may seem easier to humans or much easier to english speakers, because of the base-10 number system, lack of conjugation, and more english-like phonology, though this is a coincidence.

Creation

Webcloud created a Pre-oñ Fruwi, called ol fruwi (sic); which has now become Proto-oñ Fruwi, in mid 2022 (if they have their dates correct). an early version of, oñ Fruwi Standard was published to Conlang Fandom Early 2023.

Type

It is supposed to be a sort of engineered conlang, though Webcloud, late, realized that they need a universe if they want words for times and dates.

It is a A priori conlang, though many nouns and verbs are just changed versions of real words in languages; they are not borrowed words in-universe unless specified.

=Etymology

The name of the language oñ Fruwi, comes from Proto-fruwi Tun: oñ fruwi meaning a language, though a different word has taken on the meaning of language in the modern language. The word fruwi came from Proto-fruwi (baro): *ëfdui, probably meaning tongue.
