Overview

Roguel is a heavily agglutinative conlang spoken in the western isles of Austronesia, a large archipelago (comparable to ATL's Indonesia), on the planet of Minerva (an alternative earth). It is an umbrella term for several languages, including Littoral Roguel and Plains Roguel. The standard form, based on Central Roguel, the dialect of the capital Goretiko, is an official language of the Republic of Serehano (alongside Low Blagulfian), with about 2.5 million first language speakers and over 6 million second language speakers.

It belongs to the Central subbranch, Central Roguelian branch of Roguelian family, part of Roguelian-Tayno-Paskhetsian stock, itself a part of the controversial West Austronesian phylum. Like other member of Central Roguelian branch it features noun incorporation, predominantly suffixing morphology, and has OVS as its predominant word order.

Its writing system (currently under construction) is a syllabary alphabet devised by [?], the Chief of Nupovo in 1563, roughly modelled on the Smofian script (a full alphabet).
