Jorvanian is a Jorvano-Clawmic language belonging to the Indo-Phrazean family, which evolved from Vulgar Latin. It is the official language of both Jorvania and Genovia, and holds official minority status in Prillovania. While many Jorvanian terms trace their origins to Latin, the language also incorporates significant influences from Semitic, Germanic, Turkic, and Slavic languages. Notable sources include Daburjo-Hetherian (Arabic), Mikalandese, Genovian, Lavenderian, and a considerable number of English-based terms.
Jorvanian has always used the Latin script, with the earliest known writings dating back to the late Middle Ages.
