'''Līlasuṃghāṇa''' ("[place of] singing ''nāmñē'' cubs"; [[Chlouvānem]] pronunciation: {{IPA|[ɴ̆iːɴ̆ɐsũgʱäːɳɐ]}}; Līlasuṃghāṇi vernacular: ''Liesũḥa'' {{IPA|[ˈɴ̆iə̯ʃũxɑ]}}; popularly shortened to <small>(Chl.)</small> ''Līlah'' {{IPA|[ɴ̆iːɴ̆ɐɦ]}} or <small>(vern.)</small> ''Liela'' {{IPA|[ˈɴ̆iə̯ɴ̆ɑ]}}) is the capital of the [[Verse:Chlouvānem Inquisition|Chlouvānem Inquisition]], the holy city of the ''[[Verse:Yunyalīlta|Yunyalīlta]]'', an ''eparchy'' (Chl.: ''ṭūmma'') within the diocese of ''Nanašīrama'', which it is also the episcopal seat of, and the largest city on [[Verse:Calémere|Calémere]], even though it is not, administratively, a single city.

Līlasuṃghāṇa lies on the southeastern shore of Lake Lūlunīkam (an inlet of the Jahībušanī sea) in the Jade Coast, with most of the eparchy's area extending south along the southern branch of the Lake, formed by the clearwater Lanamilūki river coming from the wetlands and [[w:Várzea forest|várzeas]] of Talæñoya. Most of the area where the present-day core sectors of Līlasuṃghāṇa lie were formerly a swampland where the Ēmīlumi river ("river of tigers"), the Talitanah river ("cocoa river"), and the Rajālyāti river ("silver-black river") - all three blackwater - reach Lake Lūlunīkam. This former swamp, nestled between low forested hills and the shore, was mostly drained through centuries and is now one of the most densely populated pieces of land on Calémere. Despite lying just south of the 15th parallel north, Līlasuṃghāṇa has an equatorial rainforest climate with constant rainfall throughout the year and no distinct seasons.

The name of Līlasuṃghāṇa predates the city, and is a bahuvrihi compound of ''līlas'' - the name (nowadays archaic) of cubs of ''nāmñē'', a tropical seal living along most of the Inquisition's tropical coasts - and ''suṃghāṇa'', meaning "melody". The name thus means "melody of nāmñē cubs", intended as "the place where nāmñē cubs sing melodies".

An inhabitant of the city is referred to as ''Līlasuṃghāṇi'' or, more formally, ''Līlasuṃghānyūs''. In the vernacular, the demonym is ''Liesuḥãũ'' {{IPA|[ˈɴ̆iə̯ʃuxɑ̃ʊ̯̃]}}. The vernacular-derived form ''Lieli'' {{IPA|[ˈɴ̆iə̯ɴ̆i]}}, rendered as ''Līyali'' in Chlouvānem, is commonly used both in the vernacular and in Chlouvānem, albeit only informally.

The vernacular-derived form ''Lýṃ ñü'' {{IPA|[ɴ̆iə̯ŋ˨˥ ɲy˧]}}, rendered as ''Līlnyuh'' in Chlouvānem, is commonly used both in the vernacular and in Chlouvānem, albeit only informally.


In foreign languages, it is mostly known by transliterations of the Chlouvānem name ([[Qualdomelic]]: ''Lilasunggana'', [[Skyrdagor]]: ''Ninaszungana'', [[Nordulaki]]: ''Ninasungana'', [[Cerian]]: ''Nínasungána'', [[Holenagic]]: ''Ngingasunggana''), but in [[Brono-Fathanic]] it is commonly called "Holy City" due to it being the holiest city of the Yunyalīlta (Bronic: ''Boraosovahisy'', Fathanic: ''Brawswahes''), with the full form "Holy City of Līlasuṃghāṇa" (Bronic: ''Lilasongana boraosa ovahisy'', Fathanic: ''Liŋaseuŋgan braws wahes'') being only found in a few official reports or in lists of holy cities and places.

Classical Chlouvānem is the city's most spoken language and its administrative language; 70% of all inhabitants also speak the local vernacular, Līlasuṃghāṇi (''liela a dhāḷ'' {{IPA|[ˈɴ̆iə̯ɴ̆ɐ ˈɑ ˈdʱaːɭ]}}), a dialect inside the Southern Jade Coast dialect continuum. The most spoken native language excluding these two has been found to be the Western Chlouvānem Creole, spoken by about 4% of people. Among non-Chlouvānem languages, the most spoken include [[Brono-Fathanic|Bronic]], [[Kuyugwazian]], [[Soenjoan]], [[Lenyan]], other Kenengyry languages, and various languages from Eastern Védren.

Even by Chlouvānem standards, Līlasuṃghāṇa is a culturally diverse city, first of all because of its position between two major cultural areas, the Great Plain and the South, with traits of both found in the city and its surroundings, and also because of its political role, attracting people from all of the Chlouvānem world and beyond.

<!--==Līlasuṃghāṇi Vernacular==
The vernacular language, commonly referred to as ''mbaîá renã'' [ᵐbaˈja ɾˡeˈnã] (our language) and spoken by about 70% of the inhabitants (a good number of residents come from other areas of the country), is part of the Jade Coast dialect continuum and has traits of both coastal Nanašīrami dialects to the east and Lanamilūki Valley ones to the south. It is characterized by a tendency towards analyticness when compared to Classical Chlouvānem, and more than many other languages of the same continuum it has considerably simplified its syllable structure.
===Verbs===
There are two present tense patterns, one for the agent-trigger and one for the patient-trigger conjugation. None of them continues the Chlouvānem forms, as the original terminations were lost and pronouns were cliticized at the beginning, becoming conjugational prefixes.
