'''Sésjall''' (''SAY-shul''; natively ''Sésjall-ŋó'' /s(ʲ)eːʃalˠ ŋ(ʲ)oː/ 'Sésjall language'; ''ŋó'' is from Middle Chinese 語) is a Sino-Xenic language spoken to the north of the Korean peninsula. It's inspired by Irish, Arabic and Farsi.

Sésjall is written in a mixture of native, phonetic characters (in which each character represents one morpheme and encodes the phonetics) and ''Xxánzzí'', or Chinese characters, for Sinoxenic loans.
