Translations of the phrase "I speak to you with my words".

Aiedain

Type: A priori.

Family: Aiedainic (fictional).

Typical word order: SOV (flexible).

Native scripts: Aiedain alphabet.

Main purpose: Designed for aesthetics (artlang) and to explore honorifics. Also used for a con-culture (Aiedain Empire).

Fictional speakers: National language of the Aiedain Empire, a federal state about the size of India in the western part of a continent in an Earth-like con-world. The Aiedain Empire is a constitutional monarchy with a population of roughly 28 million people in early modern times, most of which live in a massive federal entity known as the Aiedain Kingdom. In addition to mainland territory, the Aiedain Empire includes some offshore islands (the 'Imperial Islands'). The Aiedain-speaking population outside the empire is negligible. Non-Aiedain languages are spoken in boarder regions and by some minority ethnic groups.

Dialects: Several regional dialects (most prominently Elleian and Illasoman), a compromise Standard language, Insular Aiedain.

Fictional status: Vibrant. Official in a major nation-state.

Development status: Needs some serious work in vocabulary, dialectology and documentation.

Standard Aiedain

The standard form of the language, conceived as a compromise between various regional varieties.

Alisne

Type: A priori. Derived from Lisnäit (an a priori conlang).

Family: Lisnout (fictional).

Typical word order: Highly variable. SOV and VSO are slightly more prevalent than others.

Native scripts: Xiké alphabet.

Main purpose: See what a simplified descendant of Lisnäit could look like.

Fictional speakers: Spoken by a relatively isolated mid-sized colony (less than 10 000 people) from the Lisnäit-speaking peoples.

Dialects: No variants devised so far.

Fictional status: Vibrant within its rather small community. Coexists with more prestigious Lisnäit (lingua franca).

Development status: Inherits a barely functional vocabulary from Lisnäit. Lacks documentation.

Alvic

Type: A posteriori; based on Latin.

Family: Indoeuropean, Italic, Romance.

Typical word order: SVO (flexible). SOV and VSO are especially common in literary language.

Native scripts: Latin alphabet.

Main purpose: (originally) Approximate the aesthetics of Tolkien's Quenya with a Romance language.

Fictional speakers: Spoken in Albia of Alva, a fictional island in the Mediterranean south of the Ionic size and between Sicily and Crete in both size and location. Politically, Albia belongs to the Italian Republic and Alvic has been slowly losing ground to Italian despite a vast portion of Alvic people being highly defensive of their language which they claim to be the 'purest Romance language' (a claim of questionable linguistic validity). The language is still spoken by a few hundred people in the Río de la Plata region in South America, descendants from early 20th century emigrants (in the so called 'Nueva Albia' or Nova Alva colonies).

Dialects: Southern, Northern, New Alvic (emigrant diaspora).

Fictional status: A minority regional language in Albia but not too endangered. Moribund in the Nueva Albia emigrant colonies.

Development status: Underdeveloped.

Southern Alvic

The most widely spoken Alvic dialect in the island of Albia.

Ashowehen

Also known by its Spanish-language name "Hayogüeíno".

Type: A priori. Derived from Proto-Pita-Inai (an a priori conlang) plus some Spanish influences.

Family: Pita-Inaí (fictional).

Typical word order: SOV.

Native scripts: Latin alphabet.

Main purpose: To create a divergent Pita-Inai language loosely based on polysynthetic native American languages.

Fictional speakers: Spoken by a few hundred indigenous Ashowehen (or Hayogüeíno) people in Patagonia. Speakers are mostly evenly split between the three dialects of the language, with Central Ashowehen being slightly more popular and Southern Ashowehen having the smallest speaker base.

Dialects: Northern, Central and Southern. In addition, there is Proto-Ashowehen, an extinct variety ancestral to the three modern dialects.

Fictional status: Highly endangered. Most Ashowehen people are turning to Spanish. Proto-Ashowehen has no speakers, being a reconstructed language.

Development status: Severely underdeveloped.

Proto-Ashowehen

A reconstructed common ancestor to the modern Ashowehen language varieties.

Asvalan

Not to be confused with Neo-Asvalan (an alternative name for Standard Byssre)

Type: A priori.

Family: Isvelic (fictional).

Typical word order: OVS.

Native scripts: Isvelic script.

Main purpose: To create an 'ancient language' with a phonemic orthography which its descendants would inherit almost unchanged (despite the phonological changes the descendants themselves would undergo). This would result in a family of languages with highly inter-intelligible orthographies which would be read through different sets of rather complex rules.

Fictional speakers: Asvalan would have been the official language of the Asvalan Empire, an important culture in ancient times. After the fall of the empire, Asvalan developed into a multitude of spoken vernaculars which eventually evolved into modern Isvelic languages like Byssre and Cenqera while classical Asvalan was used as a literary language adapting its pronunciation to fit the phonologies of the rising vernaculars but not its orthography. In modern times, Asvalan would have been largely superseded as a lingua franca of the former empire by Byssre (also known as Neo-Asvalan), one of its descendants.

Dialects: Classical Asvalan (as spoken during the Golden Age of the Asvalan Empire), various vernaculars that developed into modern Isvelic languages.

Fictional status: Classical language with no native speakers. Former lingua franca (during imperial times) and written lingua franca (during post-imperial times).

Development status: Very little documentation.

Classical Asvalan

The language of the heyday of the Asvalan Empire; also employed a a written lingua franca after its fall.

Bartxe

Type: A priori.

Family: Bartxe (fictional).

Typical word order: SOV.

Native scripts: Latin alphabet, Qekhiavë script (borrowed another conlang called Naupali; known as 'Ekyawø' in Bartxe).

Main purpose: To create a "complicated" language that contrasted with Minmá's simplicity. Bartxe was meant to be polysynthetic (in stark contrast to Minmá's isolating grammar) and require inflections for a several grammatical categories (such as evidentiality, polarity, mood, etc).

Fictional speakers: No associated con-culture.

Dialects: No dialectal variation.

Fictional status: No associated con-culture.

Development status: Severely underdeveloped.

Calacala

Also known as Calacalá.

Type: A priori.

Family: Calacal (fictional).

Typical word order: SVO.

Native scripts: Calasifal (and its dot-based variant Calasifep)

Main purpose: To create a "lexicographic" logical language, that is, a constructed language where the meanings of each word where further specified by adding more letters. This concept, inspired by early twentieth century Ro and similar conlangs (this concept was as badly executed as anyone well aware of the complexities of Human language would expect).

Fictional speakers: No associated con-culture.

Dialects: Although not dialects, Calacala has two notable varieties: Caladá and Çeldi. These varieties mostly differ on how vowels (which are not phonemic in the language!) are added to Calacala consonantal strings. In Caladá, each consonant is usually followed by the same "inherent" vowel (for instance, 'C' is followed by 'a'). Çeldi, on the other hand, uses more complex rules based on Egyptological pronunciation. In addition the the differences in vocalization, these two varieties also include some irregular words that are used as abbreviations for common particles and pronouns, such as Caladá leep or Çeldi laep for the past tense marker (LVP, otherwise vocalized as lavip or levop respectively).

Fictional status: No associated con-culture.

Development status: Lacks documentation.

Carolinan

Not to be confused with the real-world Carolinian language spoken in the Caroline islands.

Natively known as Ía Karluìn.

Type: A priori. Descends from Proto-Okiwo (an a priori conlang).

Family: Okiwo (fictional).

Typical word order: SVO.

Native scripts: Latin script, Ólelai (a syllabary inspired by real-world Wolelai script).

Main purpose: To create a language that would have evolved from Proto-Okiwo.

Fictional speakers: The Carolinans, non-Austronesian Pacific islanders which would inhabit a fictional archipelago known as the Carolinan Islands (Spanish: Islas Carolinas) with most of the population living in the largest island Puìanopoa (also known as Karluìn or Reikálos, Spanish: isla Rey Carlos). The islands would have been colonized by the Spanish Empire (and governed from Spanish-held Manila) before being adquired by America, taken by Japan during World War II and later recaptured by Americans. This accidentally resembles the actual history of the Caroline Islands (whose existence was ignored by the author at the time).

Dialects: No variants devised so far.

Fictional status: Carolinan remains as the main language of the Carolinan Islands, even though most people are also bilingual in English.

Development status: Relatively-well documented although its vocabulary needs to be expanded.

Cenqera

Type: A priori. Descends from Asvalan (an a priori conlang).

Family: Isvelic (fictional).

Typical word order: VSO.

Native scripts: Isvelic script (with a deep orthography based on ancient Asvalan orthography), Cenqera script (a simpler 'shallow' orthography).

Main purpose: To play with language evolution, deep orthographies and diglossia scenarios.

Fictional speakers: the Cenqera, a nation descended from the ancient Asvalan Empire. Although the Cenqera remained independent for several centuries, in modern times they were incorporated into the Byssre-led Asvalan Union.

Dialects: No dialects devised so far. Several varieties of the language with varying degrees of literary Asvalan and Byssre influence coexist in a complex scenario of diglossia.

Fictional status: Vibrant despite the lack of official recognition from the state where it is spoken.

Development status: Barely more than a sketch.

Chenice

Type: A posteriori, based on Greek.

Family: Indoeuropean, Hellenic, Romanic (fictional, 'Hellenic Romance').

Typical word order: SVO.

Native scripts: 'Romanic alphabet' (a constructed variant of the Greek alphabet).

Main purpose: To approximate a Romance language (in this case Italian) with a conlang derived from some form of Ancient Greek.

Fictional speakers: People inhabiting one or more countries in a fictional Europe where Greek had replaced Latin as the progenitor of Romance languages. The geographical location of Chenice speakers has not been decided yet. Possibilities include Greece, other parts of the Balkans and northern Italy (although most of Italy would still speak a Latin based language: Popyloron Latin).

Dialects: No dialects devised so far.

Fictional status: Vibrant. Official status in the country (or countries) where it is a majority language.

Development status: Not-so-well developed; lacks documentation.

More properly called Damlé Mýný.

Type: A priori. Descends from Classical Mizuyu, an a priori conlang somewhat influenced by Chinese languages.

Family: Mizuyu (fictional).

Typical word order: SVO.

Native scripts: Damle script.

Main purpose: To create a more divergent descendant of Classical Mizuyu than Northern and Southern Mizuyu.

Fictional speakers: Not much has been decided about the Damle-Myny speaking culture other than they would be confined to only a few villages (a population far smaller than those of other modern Mizuyu languages).

Dialects: No dialectal variations have been constructed for this conlang.

Fictional status: Minority language.

Efenol

Type: A posteriori; based on Spanish.

Family: Indoeuropean, Italic, Romance, Ibero-Romance.

Typical word order: SVO.

Native scripts: Latin alphabet.

Main purpose: Originally meant as a variation of Spanish with Sindarin-like phonoaesthetics and vowel and consonant mutations.

Fictional speakers: Spoken in the future somewhere in Spain.

Dialects: Several dialects have been constructed for Efenol (many of which were originally meant extrafictionally as reforms to the language). The main dialects are Western Efenol, Northern Efenol and Eastern Efenol (Southern Efenol is treated as a separate language). In addition to those, there is Central Efenol (close to Western Efenol), North-Eastern Efenol (a transitional variety between Northern and Eastern Efenol) and Hunzad (a divergent variety of Northern Efenol).

Eferig

Type: A posteriori; based on some fictional variety of Greek.

Family: Indoeuropean, Hellenic, Romanic (fictional, 'Hellenic Romance').

Typical word order: SVO.

Native scripts: 'Romanic alphabet' (a constructed variant of the Greek alphabet)

Main purpose: An analogue to Efenol (a Spanish-based conlang) derived from Hesperic (a Greek-based conlang shaped after Spanish).

Fictional speakers: Either 0 (if Eferig was a constructed language in the Hesperic world, much like Efenol in our own world) or most of the people living in the future in an alternative version of Spain (intra-intrafictionally).

Dialects: Only one variety of Eferig has been constructed based on Peninsular Hesperian and Western Efenol. Other Eferig languages or dialects analogous to other Efenol varieties could be easily derived as well.

Fictional status: Eferig exists as an artlang inside the fictional reality where Hesperic would be spoken.

Hesperic

Also known as Hesperian (which is also the name of a conlang by other author) or Speric.

Type: A posteriori; based on some fictional variety of Greek.

Family: Indoeuropean, Hellenic, Romanic (fictional, 'Hellenic Romance').

Typical word order: SVO.

Native scripts: Romanic alphabet (a variation of the Greek alphabet).

Main purpose: To create a Spanish-like language descended from Greek as part of a world where Greek-based languages had taken the place of real-world Romance languages.

Fictional speakers: Hesperic would be the counterpart of Spanish in an alternate world where Latin-based Romance languages are replaced with Greek-based 'Romanic' languages. Hesperic would be spoken in the equivalent of real world Spain, in much of the Heralles (the Americas, paralleling Spanish-speaking Latin America) and in other places which were Spanish is spoken in the real world.

Dialects: Hesperic dialectal variation is supposed to mimic that of real world Spanish. Correspondingly, there are two main standards: Peninsular Hesperic (the equivalent of the European standard of Spanish) and Herallic Hesperic (equivalent to standard Latin American Spanish).

Fictional status: Vibrant.

Peninsular Hesperic

The standard form of the language as used in the alternate-world version of Spain.

Mizuyu

Note: This entry groups several languages form the fictional Mizuyu language family.

Type: A priori. Contains numerous 'Sino-Xenic' loanwords (from Middle Chinese).

Family: Mizuyu (fictional).

Typical word order: SOV.

Native scripts: Chinese characters (Hanzi) complemented with 'Mizugana' or Misu script (a phonemic constructed script).

Main purpose: To play with language evolution and to experiment with Sino-Xenic languages.

Fictional speakers: In the present, Mizuyu languages would be spoken by two geographically separated ethnic groups (the Northern Misu and the Southern Misu), in addition to Damle Myny speakers (a smaller third group with a more divergent language). Classical Mizuyu would have been spoken by the High Misu, a civilization ancestral to the three aforementioned groups. Not much has been decided about the culture or context of Mizuyu-speakers other than that they must have lived not too far away from China (so as to explain the Chinese influence in Mizuyu languages).

Dialects: Classical Mizuyu split into three main dialects which now form the Northern and Southern Mizuyu languages and the more divergent Damle-Myny.

Fictional status: Not yet decided.

Development status: Not-so-well developed.

Classical Mizuyu

The language of the High Misu culture/civilization. Ancestral to Damle-Myny and modern Mizuyu varieties.

Proto-Indorian

Type: A priori.

Family: Macro-Indorian(fictional).

Typical word order: SOV.

Native scripts: No native script.

Main purpose: Created as the proto-language for a fictional language family.

Fictional speakers: Would have been spoken by neolithic-period peoples near a mountain range in the north-eastern corner of a continent in an Earth-like world.

Dialects: Two different stages have been constructed for Proto-Indorian: Early Proto-Indorian (also known as Proto-Gaudorian) and Late Proto-Indorian ('Proto-Indorian proper'). All of the major descendants of Proto-Indorian (as well as most of the minor ones) would descended from Late Proto-Indorian with only the relatively minor 'Gaudic' language group having split earlier, prior to the Late Proto-Indorian period.

Fictional status: Extinct in modern times.

Early Proto-Indorian (Proto-Gaudorian)

The earliest ancestor of Indorian languages.

Proto-Johkan

Also known as Proto-Joh or Proto-Macro-Joh.

Type: A priori. Descends from Proto-Sinjoh (an a priori conlang).

Family: Sinjoh (fictional).

Typical word order: SVO.

Native scripts: No native script.

Main purpose: Created as part of a large language family.

Fictional speakers: Spoken by a culture that descended from the main group of Proto-Sinjoh speakers. Johkan speakers would eventually divide into several factions with some migrating to the east and becoming a distinct group known as the Kan peoples, others migrating to the south to become the Heni peoples and the rest staying near the urheimat to become the various Joh peoples.

Dialects: No dialects are constructed for Proto-Johkan as such. Eventually, however, the language would diverge into several variants which would develop into several sub-branches (Northern Joh, Western-Henic Joh, Central Joh, Eastern Joh and Kannic) of the Johkan branch of the Sinjoh language family.

Fictional status: Extinct in modern times.

Proto-Kannic

Type: A priori. Descends from Proto-Johkan which, in turn, descends from Proto-Sinjoh (an a priori conlang).

Family: Sinjoh (fictional), Johkan branch.

Typical word order: SOV.

Native scripts: No script has been constructed for this conlang so far.

Main purpose: Created as part of a large language family. Proto-Kannic was also a chance to play with some unusual phonological features such as 'aspirated vowels' (which determine whether or not a preceding consonant will be aspirated, similar to how Russian 'soft vowels' trigger palatalization) or the co-articulated retroflex velar fricative /ʂ͡x/.

Fictional speakers: Proto-Kannic would have been spoken by Johkan peoples who had migrated eastwards from the Sinjoh urheimat. Part of those 'Kannic' peoples would then have colonized several small archipelagos in the south (but most stayed in the mainland).

Dialects: Two different stages have been constructed for Proto-Kannic: Early Proto-Kannic (more or less corresponding to the language of the early settlers that arrived to the east) and Late Proto-Kannic (a later stage ancestral to all Kannic languages from the mainland). Regional varieties would have eventually developed giving rise to several branches of Kannic languages: Insular Kannic (the earliest branch to split off, before the Late Proto-Kannic period), West Kannic, East Kannic and South Kannic.

Fictional status: Extinct in modern times.

Early Proto-Kannic

The latest common ancestor of all Kannic languages, including those spoken off the mainland.

Proto-Sinjoh

Type: A priori.

Family: Sinjoh (fictional).

Typical word order: SVO.

Native scripts: No native script.

Main purpose: To create the proto-language for a large family of conlangs. Also: to have fun with sesquisyllabic roots and with a vowel inventory that featured a relatively large number of non-reduced vowels (7) but only a 3 reduced ones.

Fictional speakers: The remote ancestors of speakers of modern Sinjoh languages. Some members of the Ancient Sinjoh culture would have migrated to the north where the Sinn language branch would eventually develop. The rest would have stayed in near the area where languages from the Joh group would eventually come to be be spoken.

Dialects: No dialects are constructed for Proto-Sinjoh as such. Eventually, however, the language would diverge into Proto-Johkan and Proto-Sinn.

Fictional status: Extinct in modern times.

Main purpose: Constructed as a variation of Efenol.

Fictional speakers: Spoken in the future somewhere in Spain (south of wherever the other Efenol languages are spoken).

Dialects: None. May be considered itself a dialect of Efenol.

Fictional status: Vibrant.

Type: A priori.

Family: Tehya (fictional).

Typical word order: VSO.

Native scripts: Proto-Kirthai (Proto-Tehya period), Old Kirthai (Tighaia period).

Main purpose: To create an ancestor for the Eharthen language.

Fictional speakers: Not much has been decided about the Proto-Tehya and Tighaia-speaking cultures other than they must have lived several millennia ago.

Dialects: the term 'Tighaia' often includes two in-history chronological stages of the language: ancient Proto-Tehya and more recent Tighaia proper. Tighaia would eventually split into the ancestors of Eharthen and its sister language Tecya.

Fictional status: Extinct in modern times.

Proto-Tehya

The earliest known ancestor of Tehya languages.
