Thensarian (thensaraquhanquhus/-milacus, Thengkha: Thengsornkhwong) is one of two superstrate languages of Thengkha. It is inspired by Latin, Sanskrit, Ancient Greek, and High Valyrian.
Lots of reduplication, especially in verbs
Should sound whimsical or English magic spell-like
- quacumquasit = however
- Bandaeum (Theng. Phonthai) = the capital of the Thensarian empire
baxaphus (<- gweķsobhos): borrowing
