'''Ernish''' (native name ''Auzinim'' /auʐinim/) is an Irenesian language spoken in Eastern Siberia and northern North America along with its closest relatives (the Ernic branch of Irenesian, including Whyastian). | |||
Ernish played an important role in Angai North American scholarship during the Angaian Enlightenment. It is one of the six official languages of the Angaian United Nations. | |||
