''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.

The main sources of inspiration for Allas are the hints of a currently occuring vowel shift in English especially visible in the British Commonwealth countries like Australia and New Zealand, combined with historical precedent in English language history. | |||
==In-Universe History== | |||
Allas was codified approximately in the year 400 JI (''Jar ð Imprør''). By this time, the English language had already undergone a series of local sound changes, and the codification helped bring order and stability to these to create a mutually recognisable and intelligible standard for the majority of Post-Modern English speakers. However, inspite of admirable efforts, the language had already fractured by this point in time, and in the year 500 JI, approximately 100 sublanguages exist on a spectrum between Modern English, Allas, and Yropion. | |||
Allas is technically considered to be in a Sprachbund with Yropion, Syðian (Kestian), which represent the three main European derived languages of the Tellurian Empire - derived from English, General European and Castilian respectively. It is in physical contact with Syðian in Eastern Australia, Oceania and most of North America, and the same with Yropion in Africa, Europe and once again North America. | |||
