The people of Amran are exceptionally diverse in language, culture, and identity. At the time of the ''Leaves'' stories, Amran is in its twilight years and is a ghost of its former self. Amran varies across its vast landscape from a temperate biome to a taiga biome, dominated by thick forests, abundant snowfall in many regions, and mountainous regions further inland. Much of the population is concentrated along the coastal regions, while most inland is mostly uninhabited by humans. | ||

The history of '''Eḥeiθymme''' as a constructed language is relatively recent, and stems from the author's desire to construct a language with a Semitic style, and from the author's investigations into tense, mood, and aspect systems of world languages during his undergraduate career in linguistics. The earliest dedicated work on the language originated with the name of an individual, '''Iḥliθ''', whose meaning is yet elusive, and the now defunct word for a ruler, '''aryad''', which has since come to be the positive copula. | The history of '''Eḥeiθymme''' as a constructed language is relatively recent, and stems from the author's desire to construct a language with a Semitic style, and from the author's investigations into tense, mood, and aspect systems of world languages during his undergraduate career in linguistics.

Because much of the creative works and worldbuilding for which '''Eḥeiθymme''' guides concern themselves with cultural contact, exchange, and conflict, the two dominant languages of the world, [[Ahāmatya|'''Ahāmatya''']] and '''Eḥeiθymme''', are deliberately designed to be dissimilar, with regards to the make-up and feel of the language. The inspirations of the language include, but are not limited to, Arabic, German, Finnish, Welsh, Basque, English, Menominee. While some overlap exists in the inspirations for '''Ahāmatya''' and '''Eḥeiθymme''', any overt similarities are deliberately avoided. | Because much of the creative works and worldbuilding for which '''Eḥeiθymme''' guides concern themselves with cultural contact, exchange, and conflict, the two dominant languages of the world, [[Ahāmatya|'''Ahāmatya''']] and '''Eḥeiθymme''', are deliberately designed to be dissimilar, with regards to the make-up and feel of the language.

A more in-depth and detailed documentation is forthcoming, which includes in-universe terminology for grammatical categories and descriptions. The author hopes to someday have the creative works published. | |||
