'''Faiten Language''' (also known as '''Tan Language''') is a constructed language with its roots in the Sino-Tibetan language family. It is primarily spoken in the region of Faitonia and holds a community of 4 million speakers (4.5 million including in Faitonian diaspora). While Faiten initially gained popularity as a tool to circumvent government censorship on the internet, it has also evolved into a fully-fledged spoken language. Faiten's linguistic structure draws influences from mainly Chinese and in some cases Vietnamese. | '''Faiten Language''' (also known as '''Tan Language''') is a constructed language with its roots in the Sino-Tibetan language family.
