''Rokadong'' is a contraction of "dong to rokasela," meaning "Rokasela's language." ''Rokasela'' refers to the six major islands of the Acrylla Archipelago, where Rokadong originated, and apocryphally, may also refer to the six extensions from the core of a kanva's body: two arms, two legs, a head, and a tail.

Introduction

Hatzonian is my second(?) conlang, first started in 2023 as part of my worldbuilding projects, though originally Liðakuin was going to be used in its place. Specifically, it is linked to my project "National Mana League," as well as my Pokémon AU, though the language itself may see use in my other projects.

Hatzonian, like all of my serious conlangs, is meant to be similar to natural languages in terms of scope. It is inspired by the Dhegiha languages and Korean.

This is a work of love and I ask any readers that, outside of grammatical mistakes, they do not make any edits without my permission. This work is protected by copyright, and I do plan on using it in monetized material; this wiki is a service both for myself and for any future fans.
