'''Scellan''' ''SKEL-ən'' (natively ''Sgewlib'' {{small|Fyxoomian:}} /ˈskœ̃ˁʟip/; {{small|Scellan (Alcvean):}} /ˈskɛːʟip/, [[Naeng]]: ''brits Scela''), in-universe often called '''Eevo''' ''AY-voh'' ({{small|Fyxoomian:}} /ˈaivɔ/; {{small|Scellan (Alcvean):}} /ˈevɔ/;  from [[Tigol]] ''é-'' 'common' + ''bó'' 'language'), is a [[Talmic language]] belonging to the Tigolic branch. Scellan is modern [[Verse:Hmøøh|Hmøøh]]'s lingua franca, the third-most widely spoken language (after [[Hetomic]] and [[Clofabosin]]) and the most widely spoken Quame language. Its vocabulary has been influenced by many languages, most of all by [[Lakovic]] classical languages [[Naeng]] and [[Tseer]]. Typologically, Scellan is a mostly analytic, topic-prominent, head-initial, usually V2 language.

The genesis of the modern Scellan language, dated to ca. fT 1792, is often credited to the Scellan philosopher and poet Oovsari Vyhalv. Scellan constituted a rejection of Mărotłism which used [[Tigol]] as a liturgical language; it prefers to cognatize Tigol words rather than borrowing them directly. The name ''Eevo'' refers to its origins as a Scellan koiné. Modern Scellan has been a living language for about 500 years, approximately fT 1792-2292.

Scellan is official in the [[Talma]]n nation of [[Verse:Hmøøh/Scella|Scella]] (''Sgewla'') ''SKEL-ə''. It is also de facto official in [[Verse:Hmøøh/Fyxoom|Fyxoom]] ''fə-SHOME'', [[Verse:Hmøøh/Þrwhas|Þrwhas]] ''THROO-həs'', and many other countries.

Scellan is inspired by Icelandic, Welsh, Hmong (orthography-wise; the word for 'people, folk' is ''hmoob'', in fact), English (especially Philadelphian and Scottish English), Khmer, and Scottish Gaelic.
