Arha (Lit. ordered, structured) is a constructed language spoken in the Void Demesne, a dim, stellar region between the galaxies in our local cluster. It is a rigorously standardised language based on the dominant speech of the region 4000 years ago as recorded by the Information Cubes. Knowingly structured by conscious planners to achieve a more mellifluous speech, Arha in its current form has accumulated a divergence of over 200 features from the ancient linguistic soup it is based on. It is a moderately fusional language encoding 2-3 categories on average per grammatical affix, with the rare affix encoding up to five.

Arha divides the large, independent semantic units into ideophones, verbo-nominals, and adjectives. Adjectives pattern completely differently from other forms of words, a feature introduced by conscious planning in the language's history.
Verbo-nominal stems are distinctly identified by terminating in consonants without a known exception1, unlike ideophones or adjectives who permit a larger variance in phonetic shape, cf. arh (order, to put in order).
