Allas /ˈal(ː)as/ one of the official and most widely spoken languages of the Tellurian (Terran, Earthen, Earthican) Empire. It is descended from Post-Modern English, having undergone a vowel shift quite reminiscent of the ones between Proto-Germanic and Modern English. Majority of these shifts first occurred in British Commonwealth, although some influence can be attributed to language change in the United States (before the growth of Yropion in that region), with notable examples including Australia, England, New Zealand and South Africa. In addition to the vowel shifts, some somewhat more sporadic or irregular consonant shifts and cluster simplifications occurred over time, combined with an evolution of the grammar system.

Background

Goals and Inspiration

Allas was an idea I wanted to explore for a long time, but never got around to, due to many distractions. It has the dual benefit of being easy to convert English phrases into, and feeling natural to me at the same time. In addition, I can flesh out a sort of dormant Sci-fi plot in my head with it.
