 '''Skellan''' /skɛlən/ ''SKEL-ən'' (''Sgewlib'' /ˈskɛ̃ʟip/), in-universe often called '''Eevo''' /ˈeɪvoʊ/ ''AY-voh'' (in the native script, ꞰꞰⳘΔ /ˈɛivɔ/; 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 [[Hetmic]] and [[Sjowaázh]]) and the most spoken Quame language.
-The beginning of the modern Skellan language, dated to ca. fT 1150dd (fT 1932), is often credited to the Skellan philosopher and poet Oovsari Vyhalv, who wrote his works in the new phonetic, Windermere-based orthography. Skellan lexicon has been heavily influenced by [[Windermere]] and [[Tergetian]]. 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 360 years, approximately 1932-2292 (1150dd-13b0dd). Typologically, Skellan is a mostly analytic, topic-prominent, head-initial, usually V2 language.

 Skellan is official in the Talman nation of [[Verse:Tricin/Skella|Skella]] (''Sgewla'') /ˈskɛ̃ʟə/ ''SKELL-uh''. It is also de facto official in [[Verse:Tricin/Fyxoom|Fyxoom]] [fəˈʃoʊm] ''fuh-SHOME'', and many other countries. In real life, it is one of the official languages of the Facebook group The Pitcairns, Also Bhutan, And Also Possibly Tannara Mòr.

 ==Vocabulary==
-Skellan's basic vocabulary is largely Talmic. However, a large portion of Skellan vocabulary (comparable to English) is borrowed, for example from [[Windermere]], [[Tergetian]], or other languages (especially [[Qazhrian]], [[Anbirese]], [[Häskä]], [[Tsrovesh]], [[Clofabosin]]). This gives Skellan a rich array of synonyms.
