 ==Etymology==
-The language name derives directly from the country it is spoken in, Avendonia. It makes reference to the Roman description of the Avendonian peoples, which were settled west of Rome; in the direction of the setting sun.

As is retained into the language today, the singular-plural distinction from Latin in the genitive case has been lost. After numerous sound shifts, the word "exsilliī" had evolved into "khyillī", giving the language its modern name.
 ==Orthography==

+Khyili can be written using either the Devanagari or the Latin scripts.
