Liðakuin (IPA: [ˌli.ðɐ.ˈkɵ̞jn]), also referred to as Lidakuin or Lidhakuin, is a Gomensayan language spoken on the continent of Gomensai. It is spoken by about 10,000,000 people, being the official language of the Fenril Federation.
Introduction
Liðakuin is my third conlang, first started in 2023 as part of my worldbuilding projects. Specifically, it is linked to my project "Drawn to AfterLife." However, it also sees use in my Pokémon AU and other projects of mine.
Liðakuin, like all of my serious conlangs, is meant to be similar to natural languages in terms of scope. It is inspired by Icelandic and English.
