While at the same time establishing different way of communicating in a formal manner that centers on indirect, indefinite and generic ways of talking.
DISCLAIMER: Due to recent changes in the phonology the name Rjargi is going to change.

This language is meant to be one of the main languages in a yet unnamed conworld. This language is also known as the "language of gods" as it is the language that the gods and powerful spirits use to communicate with mortals, this makes the language immutable. For this reason most languages are either derived or influenced by it.
