'''Līlasuṃghāṇa''' ("[place of] singing ''nāmñē'' cubs"; [[Chlouvānem]] pronunciation: [ˌɴ̆ʲiːɴ̆asũˈgʱaːɳa]; vernacular Līlasuṃghāṇi: ''Lilsuhåln'' [ˈɴ̆iːɴ̆ʂyˌhɔːˤŋ]; popularly shortened to ''Līlah'' [ˈɴ̆ʲiːɴ̆aɦ]) is the capital of the [[Verse:Chlouvānem Inquisition|Chlouvānem Inquisition]], the holy city of the ''[[Verse:Yunyalīlta|Yunyalīlta]]'', | '''Līlasuṃghāṇa''' ("[place of] singing ''nāmñē'' cubs"; [[Chlouvānem]] pronunciation: [ˌɴ̆ʲiːɴ̆asũˈgʱaːɳa]; vernacular Līlasuṃghāṇi: ''Lilsuhåln'' [ˈɴ̆iːɴ̆ʂyˌhɔːˤŋ]; popularly shortened to ''Līlah'' [ˈɴ̆ʲiːɴ̆aɦ]) is the capital of the [[Verse:Chlouvānem Inquisition|Chlouvānem Inquisition]], the holy city of the ''[[Verse:Yunyalīlta|Yunyalīlta]]'', an ''eparchy'' (Chl.: ''ṭūmma'') within the diocese of ''Nanašīrama'', which it is also the episcopal seat of, and the largest city on [[Verse:Calémere|Calémere]], even though it is not, administratively, a single city. | ||

Most of the area where the present-day core districts of Līlasuṃghāṇa lie were formerly a swampland where the Ēmīlumi river ("river of tigers"), the Hanaiyami river ("cocoa river"), and the Rajālyāti river ("silver-black river") - all three blackwater - reach Lūlunīkam lake. This former swamp, nestled between low forested hills and the shore, was mostly drained through centuries and is now one of the most densely populated pieces of land on Calémere. Despite lying just south of the 15th parallel north, Līlasuṃghāṇa has an equatorial rainforest climate with constant rainfall throughout the year and no distinct seasons. | ||
Despite being referred to as a "city", Līlasuṃghāṇa is | Despite being referred to as a "city", Līlasuṃghāṇa is an ''eparchy'', which means that it has - at least for the core wards, called districts (''hālgārai'') a consolidated government at the level of cities, circuits, provinces, and even some functions of the diocese itself. Administratively, there are, however, places in Līlasuṃghāṇa designed as cities, parishes, or even villages: the area of the eparchy is extremely large, covering also some valleys of tributaries of the Lanamilūki river to the south where the only settlements are floating villages in the middle of [[w:Igapó|igapós]]. About 45% of the land area of the eparchy is covered by rainforest or swampland. | ||
The | The eparchy of Līlasuṃghāṇa, at the 3872 (6422<sub>10</sub>) census, had a population of 9Ɛ.42.535 <small>(29,698,169<sub>10</sub>)</small> people. The Līlasuṃghāṇa metropolitan area is the second-largest in the world (after the polycentric conurbation of eastern Hachitama diocese) and extends into neighboring parts of Nanašīrama and also the dioceses of Talæñoya to the south as well as Lgraṃñælihaikā and Kāṃradeša across the lake. | ||
Chlouvānem is the administrative language of the city, spoken, as in the whole Inquisition, in a state of diglossia alongside the local vernacular; the Līlasuṃghāṇi vernacular shares traits with most vernaculars of the eastern part of the Jade Coast. It has distinctive features of both the coastal Jade Coast vernaculars to the east - such as the extensive reworking of the vowel system - but also the typical [[w:Stød|stød]]-like phonation of the Lanamilūki Valley vernaculars.<br/> | Chlouvānem is the administrative language of the city, spoken, as in the whole Inquisition, in a state of diglossia alongside the local vernacular; the Līlasuṃghāṇi vernacular shares traits with most vernaculars of the eastern part of the Jade Coast.

As of the 6422 (3872<sub>12</sub>) census), the resident population of the | As of the 6422 (3872<sub>12</sub>) census), the resident population of the eparchy of Līlasuṃghāṇa amounted to 29,698,169 (9Ɛ.42.535<sub>12</sub>) people; the actual population at any time of the day is much higher due to the huge number of commuters from neighboring areas. 99.4% of the population consists of Chlouvānem citizens; the majority of foreign citizens hail from Brono, Greater Skyrdegan countries, or Eastern Védrenian ones. | ||
91.3% of residents are ethnically Chlouvānem, with the remainder being made up of many other legally recognized ethnicities. The three largest among those are Bronic (1,3%), Kŭyŭgwažŭb (1,1%), and people of Eastern Védrenian origin (0,9%). Classical Chlouvānem is the city's most spoken language; 70% of all inhabitants also speak the local vernacular, Līlasuṃghāṇi, a dialect inside the Southern Jade Coast dialect continuum. The most spoken native language excluding these two has been found to be the Western Chlouvānem Creole, spoken by about 4% of people. | 91.3% of residents are ethnically Chlouvānem, with the remainder being made up of many other legally recognized ethnicities.
