'''Skellan''' ''SKEL-ən'' (natively ''Sgewlib'' {{small|Fyxoomian:}} /ˈskœ̃ˁʟip/; {{small|Skellan (Alcvean):}} /ˈskɛːʟip/, [[Windermere]]: ''cduay Scela''), in-universe often called '''Eevo''' ''AY-voh'' ({{small|Fyxoomian:}} /ˈɛivɔ/; {{small|Skellan (Alcvean):}} /ˈevɔ/; from [[Tigol]] ''é-'' 'common' + ''bó'' 'language'), is a [[Talmic language]] belonging to the Tigolic branch. Skellan is modern [[Verse:Tricin|Tricin]]'s lingua franca, the third-most spoken language (after [[Hetomic]] and [[Dodellian]]) and the most spoken Quame language. Its vocabulary has been influenced by many languages, most of all by Lakovic languages [[Windermere]] and [[Tseer]]. Typologically, Skellan is a mostly analytic, topic-prominent, head-initial, usually V2 language. | '''Skellan''' ''SKEL-ən'' (natively ''Sgewlib'' {{small|Fyxoomian:}} /ˈskœ̃ˁʟip/; {{small|Skellan (Alcvean):}} /ˈskɛːʟip/, [[Windermere]]: ''cduay Scela''), in-universe often called '''Eevo''' ''AY-voh'' ({{small|Fyxoomian:}} /ˈɛivɔ/; {{small|Skellan (Alcvean):}} /ˈevɔ/; from [[Tigol]] ''é-'' 'common' + ''bó'' 'language'), is a [[Talmic language]] belonging to the Tigolic branch.

The beginning of the modern Skellan language, dated to ca. fT 1792, is often credited to the Skellan philosopher and poet Oovsari Vyhalv. The name ''Eevo'' refers to the fact that it had its origins as a Skellan koiné. Modern Skellan has been a living language for about 500 years, approximately fT 1792-2292. | The beginning of the modern Skellan language, dated to ca. fT 1792, is often credited to the Skellan philosopher and poet Oovsari Vyhalv.
