Aoma is the official spoken and governmental language of Coast of Temples with around 19 million speakers, and it has been greatly influenced by the languages of Western Sceptre. The word ''Aoma'' seems to come from the name of eastern area with coastal temples, Kaomaago (''Kaa Omaike Hakoror'', At the Coast of Temples). The language presented here has been stitched together from various very different dialects to unify peoples of the empire so no "true Aoma" has ever existed. | ||
'''Actual''': After Rinap I wanted something with fewer k-letters and difficult diphthongs, and I had already set my old script originally for Finnish as the script of this future language. This gave birth to a project randomly named Aoma - the story came later. | '''Actual''': After Rinap I wanted something with fewer k-letters and difficult diphthongs, and I had already set my old script originally for Finnish as the script of this future language.

In 7:321, Juhmim ni-Beldo, a merchant from Eastern Empire was learning Aoman and on his way to Mikanna, he decided to count the letters in ''Duti vopiri ope'' (Small word book). Thus here are the most common sounds in the static vocabulary, descending from most common '''i''': i, e (9); u, a (7); s, o, n (6); k, m (5); y and t (4). This is a rather poor count, since it doesn't include many of the most used words such as prepositions and conjunctions (whose tables on fold-open pages Juhmim didn't notice) and it doesn't take into account the inflections or conjunctions. | |||
