Xanian: Difference between revisions

}}'''Xanian''' (''Xâkömari'', {{IPA|/ʒakømɑrɪ/}}) is a North American language spoken by 5.6 million people, and the official language of [[Xania]]. It is a member of the [[Xanic langauges|Xanic]] language family, and largely regarded as a language isolate, the second largest of its type in the world after [[wikipedia:Korean language|Korean]]. For centuries, the Xanian language has remained distinct and separate from the rest of the languages around it, with little influence on the language until Xania's emergence into the world community in the late 1800s. Virtually nothing is known of the language's prehistory, and all information on when it first appeared in North America exists, leaving many to speculate that the language arrived with [[Xanians]] sometime around 1200 AD.
