The term '''Wiobian language(s)''' collectively refers to a group of closely related but mutually unintelligible [[Gamedan languages]], spoken in ''Wiobermin'', that descend from Classical Wiobian. It is a subgroup of (and nearly synonymous with) the '''Wiobic languages'''.
In-universe, Wiobian phonology and grammar has been greatly influenced by the language's position in the ''Jengeric Sprachbund'', including [[User:IlL/Naengic|Naengic languages]] and other languages. Wiobian has been heavily influenced by unrelated neighboring mono- or sesquisyllabic languages and underwent an extensive creolization-like process (cf. [https://www.academia.edu/13896948/Is_Radical_Analyticity_Normal_Implications_of_Niger-Congo_and_Southeast_Asia_for_Typology_and_Diachronic_Theory this]) since Gamedan speakers first arrived at the plains of the Ihumber River (Especially by immigrant speakers of these neighboring languages who arrived for reasons of trade, etc.), and eventually itself took part in tonogenesis. As a result, Modern Standard Wiobian has 5 tones and is much more phonotactically restricted than Classical Wiobian.
In the real world, Wiobian and the Jengeric Sprachbund are inspired by the [[w:German language|German language]] and [[w:Mainland Southeast Asia linguistic area|East Asian tonal languages]], exploiting the similarities between them, for example [[w:minor syllable|minor syllables]] in both German and Old Chinese. (Note to self: also cf. [[w:Mizo language|Mizo]].) Wiobian in particular was created out of the need to justify the peculiarities of the Trây script. Also, instead of compounds being written as one continuous word I'm trying hyphens and ampersands. Ampersands, you say?!? It's a full on Bad Conlanging Idea, "imagine a future where English sounds like Chinese."
