Nurian is the official language of the island country of [[Verse:Tricin/Nūrei|Nūrei]] in Etalocin. Standard Nurian is extremely conservative, and contains few loanwords. It used to have less conservative sisters whose words were absorbed into Eevo during the Old Eevo period, and modern Nurian, especially basilectal Nurian, is also a source of loans for Modern Eevo. | ||
