The language name derives directly from the country it is spoken in, Avendonia. It makes reference to the Roman description of the Avendonian peoples, which were settled west of Rome; in the direction of the setting sun. Ultimately from Proto-Germanic ''[[wikt:Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/ēbanþs|*ēbanþs]]'' (“evening”), it came to mean “sunset people” or “people of the setting sun”.

Non-native letters such as J, K, Q, Z, etc. may occur in some foreign words or proper nouns, chiefly in toponyms and given names. Yy is part of the alphabet of the Burgundian dialects of Avendonian, like in '''{{term|dydere}}'''.

The Avendonian orthography is considered [[w:shallow orthography|shallow]] or [[w:phonetic orthography|phonetic]], as opposed to deep orthographies like [[w:French orthography|French's]].

Fadre nosde ci bis en el Celo,

elageto si el name tede;
:: Si dueto el vile tede
el cuningricio tede cume,
:: en la Erda ca bi en el Celo.
Si dueto el vile tede
:: Geva-nos, en eco dago, el broto dagico nosde,
en la Erda ca bi en el Celo.
:: e pergeva-nos le sundie nosde,
Geva-nos, en eco dago, el broto dagico nosde,
:: ca vi pergevamos si ce sunden contra nos;
e pergeva-nos le sundie nosde,
:: e ne lede-nos en la persucitio,
ca vi pergevamos si ce sunden contra nos;
:: sed defriie nos d'el uvilo.
e ne lede-nos en la persucitio,
:: Amen.
sed defriie nos d'el uvilo.
Amen.
