Barakhinei is a language created by Mark Rosenfelder, the creator of Verdurian and the Zompist.com webpage.
Philogically, Barakhinei is in the same language family as Verdurian, Ismaîn and Sarroc. Verdurians apparently consider the language "harsh and primitive", to which, likewise, the Barakhinei consider Verdurians to be "spineless degenerates".
Phonology
Orthography
Barakhinei uses its own alphabet, that is derived from the Cad'inor alphabet. The modern orthography is adapted from the mountain alphabet that was used during the Dark Ages, when paper and ink fell out of fashion and instead writing was restricted to carving on stone and wood.
