History
Ancient
Proto-Sjowaazhic speakers settled Sjowaázh.
The Naquian Empire was initially typically polytheistic, like other ancient Quihum religions.
The Hetomic Empire was also founded.
Medieval
Near the end of Naquian Empire era there emerged a tradition of theater dealing with themes that were the province of religion. This caused something of a conflict in society; the old religious authorities, who brooked no [trivialization] of the traditional religion, took measures against the "theaterists". [However it failed.]
Modern
Silphium Wars?
Names
The Eevo name Nycís probably derives from a form of Naquiz, borrowed through Windermere.
Geography
- Arpala Mountains
Languages
TODO: more languages.
Language families, to the extent they can be reconstructed:
- Tsimulh languages
- Quihum languages
- Tzaloxic
- Trây
- Tzaloxian

- Backwards Khmer gib
- Arpalan
Idea for Sjowaazhosphere: "Sinosphere languages recast as Native American languages", steal from Semitic languages too
- Mandarin: Sjowaazh (Quihum)
- Cantonese: Something related to Sjowaazh (Quihum)
- Vietnamese: Trây
- Korean: Old "Geulic Tamil" idea (Tsimulh)
- Khmer: Tzaloxian
- Tibetan: Initial Salishy clusters (Tsimulh)
- Burmese: Register tones, glottalized resonants
- Japanese: CV-heavy language (Nizutsam, thus Clofabic?)
- Thai: Derkho-Thai
- Mongolian: Pelhiis
Common grammatical features:
- Rich politeness/honorific system (especially Quihum)
- Bantu-style noun classes (especially Tsimulh)
- Active-stative-ish tendencies (Tzaloxic)
- Relational nouns
- Head-marking tendency

Religion
Naquian
Sjowaazheñ
Jotting down ideas
Sjowaazheñ religion is Basically Buddhism but more proselytizing. They apply the concept of karma and reincarnation to the world collectively in addition to individual humans. That's how the world itself began and ended many times; if humanity collectively behaves badly enough, an apocalypse will come due to the accrued karmic debt and a new universe will arise from the ashes. [I'm not going to use exactly these terms - it's not exactly a "relex" of Buddhism.]
Karma/sin and payoffs - The genius of Christianity is to subvert this (in a really twisted way, perhaps)
Places
- Tui-Faäni/Uānithazza - ancient capital of Naquian Empire
- Shjhédaad = capital of Sjowaázh
