''' | '''Heleasic''' (natively: ἡ ἑλεασικ ʰγλῶττ ''ha hlizì gglât'' /hə hlizì glɑ̂t/) is a tonal descendant of Ancient Greek spoken in Lõis's East India, inspired by Khmer, Hebrew and English. It has final stress and 3 tones. The name of the language comes from [[Verse:Lõis/Heleasia|Heleasia]] (Ὲλεασία ''Hiljazía'' /hlizíə/ < PIE *séles-wn-tih₂, ~ Sanskrit ''Sarasvatī''), a mystical river found in L-Ancient Greek legends. | ||
