Tigol/Lexicon

Tigol (Eevo: Tigol /tʰikɔ̃/, Amphirese: Tigifh), in the Eevosphere also called Old Eevo (Eevo: Eevo Dair /ˈɛɪvɔ taɪr/), is a Talmic language which arose from northern dialects of Thensarian. Its aesthetics is based on Old Irish orthography. Tigol is the language of many manuscripts. Its extreme grammatical complexity caused it to diverge rapidly into the modern Tigolic languages: Eevo, Amphirese, Bhlaoighne and Yekhanese.
