Europic (natively, ''Yevropicu'' /ˌjevroˈpiʃu/), also known as Eulingo (or jocularly as Fauxperanto), is a constructed auxiliary language consisting of mostly Indo-European roots commissioned by the [[European Central Authority|European Central Authority (ECA)]] near the end of the 21st century. It is mainly isolating and analytic, and contains many specific contrasts to Esperanto, though the two are not entirely dissimilar. The language became widely spoken in the 22nd and 23rd centuries, and many variants emerged after the collapse of the ECA and the language’s loss of official status. It is the direct ancestor of [[Iropich]], later known as Proto-Human, ancestor of [[Rupesh]], the language spoken by most humans on [[PlanetX|PlanetX]] after the [[Terran Diaspora]].

(I use the awkward but slightly less cumbersome non-gendered terms ''nibling'' for ‘niece or nephew’ and ''auncle'' for ‘aunt or uncle’ – I know, I hate it too, but sometimes you just have to accept the least horrible options. ''Child'' here should be understood as ‘son or daughter’ rather than any random small human.)

There are two distinct types of marriage relationships: The term ''[[Contionary: swekru|swekru]]'' is compounded to refer to relatives of one’s spouse, while compounds with ''[[Contionary: camu|camu]]'' refer to the spouse of one’s relative. In many languages, these terms are conflated, but this allows the distinction between, for example, ''[[Contionary: brata-swekru|brata-swekru]]'' ‘brother-in-law, the brother of one’s spouse’ and ''[[Contionary: brata-camu|brata-camu]]'' ‘brother-in-law, the spouse of one’s brother’. The latter construction is also used to compound “step-”relationships, such as ''[[Contionary: vatra-caminu|vatra-caminu]]'' ‘father’s wife’, i.e. “step-mother.”

There are root terms for all direct relationships from grandchildren to grandparents.
