'''Skellan''' /skɛlən/ ''SKEL-ən'' (''Sgewlib'' /ˈskɛ̃ʟip/), in-universe often called '''Eevo''' /ˈeɪvoʊ/ ''AY-voh'' (natively /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 [[Hetmic]] and [[Sjowaázh]]) and the most spoken Quame language. Its vocabulary has been heavily influenced by Lakovic languages [[Windermere]] and [[Tseezh]]. | '''Skellan''' /skɛlən/ ''SKEL-ən'' (natively ''Sgewlib'' /ˈskɛ̃ʟip/, Windermere: ''brits Scelă''), in-universe often called '''Eevo''' /ˈeɪvoʊ/ ''AY-voh'' (natively /ˈɛivɔ/; from [[Tigol]] ''é-'' 'common' + ''bó'' 'language'), is a [[Talmic language]] belonging to the Tigolic branch.

The beginning of the modern Skellan language, dated to ca. fT 1792, is often credited to the Skellan philosopher and poet Oovsari Vyhalv. The name ''Eevo'' refers to the fact that it had its origins as a Skellan koiné. Modern Skellan has been a living language for about 500 years, approximately fT 1792-2292. Typologically, Skellan is a mostly analytic, topic-prominent, head-initial, usually V2 language. | The beginning of the modern Skellan language, dated to ca. fT 1792, is often credited to the Skellan philosopher and poet Oovsari Vyhalv.
