| ==Introduction==
| |
| Quavinoi ([[w:Ethnonym|ethnonym]]: Ḱavino [[Help:IPA|[kʷavino]]]) is the official language of the Quivan republic, but is also spoken as a minority language in Mareta (official language: Maretan) and in the Setivi Free state (official language: Slevin). Quavinoi is the language of the pleb and the language used in national broadcasts and in music
| |
| , whereas Sikalon is the language of the kings and of the higher-classes. The origin of this language is relatively unknown, even though one of the most well-known theories about the provenance of this language is that it could come from '''Ǵarinārḱe''', which is one the prophets of the Quinvan religion that, according to the sayings, brought the sacred speech to the old Quanivian people, who interpreted the text as they understood it.
