'''Khyili''' ([[w:endonym|Khyili]]: ख्यिल्ली "Khyillī"; <small>IPA:&nbsp;</small><span class="nowrap" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" style="font-family:Gentium,'DejaVu Sans','Segoe UI',sans-serif">[[IPA for Khyili|[kʰjilˈli]]]</span>) is a [[w:Romance language|Romance language]], with strong influence of [[w:Gujarati|Gujarati]] and light influence from [[w:Sindhi|Sindhi]] and [[w:English|English]]. It gradually began to take place after the exile of the inhabitants and burning down of the Roman village of Aquivia due to the many people who had committed treason from there.<br/>
 
After many, many years of travelling, the people of India welcomed the Exiles, whose language had began to change drastically due to a lack of contact with the Romans. Eventually, their dialect of vulgar Latin had begun to pick up more and more features from languages such as Greek, Gujarati and Sanskrit and later Hindi.
While its vocabulary derives for the most part from [[w:Proto-Germanic|Proto-Germanic]], Latin influence is most notable in its phonology and its grammar.


==Etymology==
==Etymology==
The language name derives directly from the country it is spoken in, Avendonia. It makes reference to the Roman description of the Avendonian peoples, which were settled west of Rome; in the direction of the setting sun. Ultimately from {{mn|gem-pro|*ēbanþs|t=evening}}, it came to mean “sunset people” or “people of the setting sun”.
The name of the language is derived from the words "colloquium exsilliī", vulgar classical Latin for "talk of the Exiles". As is retained into the language today, the singular-plural distinction from Latin in the genitive case has been lost. After numerous sound shifts, the word "exsilliī" had evolved into "khyillī", giving the language its modern name.

Notes:
* As stated in [[#Orthography|§Orthography]], /{{IPA|k, g, sk}}/ palatalize to /{{IPA|t͡ʃ, d͡ʒ, ʃ}}/ before front vowels /{{IPA|i, e}}/.
* When followed or preceded by a vowel but not word-initially, /{{IPA|i}}/ shortens and forms a diphthong with the adjacent vowel. Examples: '''{{term|sigie}}'''&nbsp;/{{IPA|ˈsid͡ʒi̯e}}/, '''{{term|perstelitio}}'''&nbsp;/{{IPA|persteˈlit͡si̯o}}/.
* [{{IPA|ɾ}}] is a permissible allophone of /{{IPA|r}}/ in fast speech.
* [{{IPA|ŋ}}] is an allophone of /{{IPA|n}}/ before velar stops /{{IPA|k, g}}/, both intra- and intersyllabically, although the former can only happen in the [[#Burgundian dialects|Low Burgundian dialect]].<br>Examples: '''{{term|drincare}}'''&nbsp;/{{IPA|driŋˈkare}}/, '''{{term|anguste}}'''&nbsp;/{{IPA|aŋˈguste}}/, Low Burgundian '''{{term|clang}}'''&nbsp;/{{IPA|klaŋg}}/ (standard '''{{term|clango}}''').
