'''Ndongan''' (Кѣязик Ндоҥске, tr. {{#invoke:Transliterator|qrqcyrl|Кѣязик Ндоҥске}}), in the universe of the play ''L′ywai!'' by Elliott Wheeler, is an East Slavic creole, which evolved from the [[:w:History of the Russian language#Empire (18th-19th centuries)|Imperial Russian language]] and its pidgin form in Southern Africa via heavy influence from the [[:w:Kikongo language|Kikongo]] and [[:w:Kimbundu language|Kimbundu language]]s. Being an official language in Ndonga, Chornarus, and Mozambique, the language is and continues to be of particular importance to the peoples of former Russian Africa, acting mainly as a lingua-franca analogous to Afrikaans, and functioned as a semi-code talk of the Red Army and other revolutionary groups during the Civil war. | '''Ndongan''' (Кѣязик Ндоҥске, tr. {{#invoke:Transliterator|qrqcyrl|Кѣязик Ндоҥске}}), in the universe of the play ''L′ywai!
