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:
- Northern Europe: analytic with strong final stress (Thean, Kua, Æ, and Danishmandi)
- 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
