'''Lällshag''', or the ''Lällshag language'' (''lällshagune hałyjeg'' [lɛʎˈɕaŋ], [lɛʎˈɕaŋyne gaˈwiːjeŋ], also known by its Chlouvānem name ''lælšaṃrān dhāḍa'') was a [[Verse:Calémere|Calemerian language]] spoken in the late 4th-early 5th millennium of the Lällshag (later known as Chlouvānem) calendar by the middle and lower course of the Nīmbaṇḍhāra river (Läll.: ''käyna Watsunogy''), a territory centered on one of the earliest cities of any Calemerian civilization, ''Łahikunanäé'' (today known as ''Laikunanǣh''). Lällshag is considered to be a language isolate, as no other related language has ever been documented or survived to the present day. | '''Lällshag''', or the ''Lällshag language'' (''lällshagune hałyjeg'' [lɛʎˈɕaŋ], [lɛʎˈɕaŋyne gaˈwiːjeŋ], also known by its Chlouvānem name ''lælšaṃrān dhāḍa'') was a [[Verse:Calémere|Calemerian language]] spoken in the late 4th-early 5th millennium of the Lällshag (later known as Chlouvānem) calendar by the middle and lower course of the Nīmbaṇḍhāra river (Läll.: ''käyna Watsunogy''), a territory centered on one of the earliest cities of any Calemerian civilization, ''Łahikunanäé'' (today known as ''Laikunanǣh'').

The Lällshag people were among the first major Calemerian civilizations and the first one in the eastern part of Márusúturon; their dominance, lasting a few centuries, influenced many other neighboring civilizations, marking the beginning of urban development in the continent. <br/>One of the Lällshag's neighbours, the Chlouvānem people, later came to develop a far more prosperous civilization which ultimately absorbed the Lällshag one. Their language, however, has had a huge influence on Classical (and, therefore, modern-day) Chlouvānem, which is full of Lällshag roots, starting from basic vocabulary (cf. ''marta'' "city" ← ''m-arota'' "walls", ''dænišah'' "dolphin" ← ''dänishar'', ''naviṣya'' "book" ← ''na-wici-ja'' "it has knowledge inside") but especially in the technical one, even related to modern societies, as Lällshag roots have been extensively used in the Chlouvānem world in the last few centuries to create words for new concepts (cf. ''jålihūrṣa'' "industry" ← ''chåll-forca'' "large task"; ''šupairyuka'' "antibody" ← ''shopa i-ro-fuka'' "it attacks for good"; ''nyurukæsa'' "vaccine" ← ''nu-ro-käs-a'' "one protects oneself with this"; ''lagukītsun'' "paralysis" ← ''gahoki-ytsun'' "still-condition"). The Chlouvānem script is also ultimately derived from the Lällshag one. | The Lällshag people were among the first major Calemerian civilizations and the first one in the eastern part of Márusúturon; their dominance, lasting a few centuries, influenced many other neighboring civilizations, marking the beginning of urban development in the continent. <br/>One of the Lällshag's neighbours, the [[Chlouvānem]] people, later came to develop a far more prosperous civilization which ultimately absorbed the Lällshag one.
