'''Skellan''' /skɛlən/ ''SKEL-uhn'' (''Sgewlib'' /ˈskɛ̃ʟip/), in-universe often called '''Eevo''' /ˈeɪvoʊ/ ''AY-voh'' (in the native script, ꞰꞰⳘΔ /ˈɛivɔ/; from [[Tigol]] ''é-'' 'common' + ''bó'' 'language'), is a [[Talmic language]] belonging to the Tigolic branch. Skellan is modern [[Verse:Tricin|Tricin]]'s lingua franca, the third-most spoken language (after [[Hetomic]] and [[Sjowaazhéñ]]) and the second-most spoken Quihum language (after [[Sjowaazhéñ]]).

The beginning of the modern Skellan language, dated to ca. fT 1150dd (fT 1932), is often credited to the Sgewlan philosopher and poet ????, who wrote his works in the new phonetic, Clofabic-based orthography of his invention, instead of the old Talmic orthography largely based on [[Tigol]] pronunciation. Skellan lexicon has been heavily influenced by [[Windermere]], [[Talman Clofabic]] and [[Phormatolide]]. [The Clofabic orthography is still sensitive to etymology to some extent, as it reflects the original spelling in [[Windermere]] or [[Proto-Clofabic]] loanwords.] The name ''Eevo'' refers to the fact that it had its origins as a Sgewlan koiné. Modern Skellan has been a living language for about 360 years, approximately 1932-2292 (1150dd-13b0dd).
