It is loosely inspired by Mainland Southeast Asia, the Arab world, India, and Japan. | |||

Since I've been using "Bjeheond" for so long I'll continue to use it in English. In Tricin "Bjeheond" occurs in the [[Anbirese]] name for the continent, ''sa Bjeheond'' /sa bʲehʌnd/, however it's actually the soft-mutated form, which occurs after the class article ''sa''. | ||
==Names== | ==Names== | ||
''Bjeheond'' comes from [[Nurian]] ''Bíxxanti'' /ˈbʲɪxənʔtʲ/ 'fox-DU', referring to the Twin Foxes in Nurian mythology. "Bjeheond" is preferred to other names for the continent in the majority of Trician languages. | |||
Other names include Netagin ''Tacrůt'' (from ''cerat'' 'fox', thus a partial calque from the Nurian) and a poetic name ''Șinach'' (from ''*hīna-kkam'' 'our land' in an older stage of [[Gwnax]]; Modern Gwnax ''Zynax''. ''Gwnax'' itself is from ''*wana-kkam'' 'our way (of speaking)'). | |||

The Dáiḃeŋal civilization left statues and megalithic temples (as well as some written records) near the Gwnax-speaking area in Northwestern Bjeheond. Subsequently Bjeheond was settled by Proto-[[Nurian]]- and [[Netagin]]-speaking tribes, which caused some Lakovic speakers to flee north to Talma and south to Txapoalli. The Dáiḃeŋal civilization's writing system and their language [[Gwnax]] still survive to the present day. | |||

Bjeheond was settled by Imperial Windermere refugees who decided to flee from the increasingly arcane and arbitrary religious laws of Mărotłism, and from the corruption of the Windermere religious and political establishment. The influx of the Windermere was at first slow, but it eventually caused an upheaval in Bjeheondian society and politics. | |||

The longest river in Bjeheond is the Piune River (''Pīenu'' in Nurian, ''Pün'' in Wdm). It's the reason most of Bjeheond is not arid like Australia. | |||
Bjeheond has one major mountain range along the southernmost edge, the source of the Piune. It's thought that Bjeheond fused, then separated again from Txapoalli long ago (?) | |||

The Hlou-Shum people traditionally consumed meat and milk, but beef and pork were avoided. Fish was extremely common. Also common is tempeh (Hlou: ''Te Mpeh'' 'bean cake'), which was brought to Bjeheond by the Windermere. | ||
===Recipes=== | |||
Bjeheondian recipes are centered around rice; various vegetables; and fish, meat or vegan alternatives to them (tofu, tempeh). Wheat and dairy products are not very common (unlike in Talman, Clofabian and Dodellian cuisine). | |||
Some common recipes among Windermereans in the USB are: | |||
(Change to Nurian and Netagin) | |||
* '''Naengic noodles''' (''habtsom Näng'' /habˈtsom nɛŋ/): originating in the Näng region, it consists of rice noodles, basil, a spicy citrus-based vinaigrette, seaweed and tofu or tempeh. | |||
* '''Glah''' /klāʔ/: a steamed fermented rice-based flatbread similar to injera, with various toppings (curries, salads, stews). Stereotypically associated with Bjeheond in other Trician countries. | |||
* '''No Pahn''' /nō pʰàʔ/: pickled cactus leaves. A [[Hlou]] delicacy. | |||
* '''zuh blaj''' /sû blāj/: [[Schong]] crêpes made with chickpea flour, coconut oil and possibly sweet potatoes, rolled and garnished with various leafy vegetables. | |||
* '''glh schanng''' /xl̩̂ sʰǎŋ/: [[Schong]] dish consisting of raw vegetables (most commonly bean sprouts) soaked in kefir. | |||
* '''Vä Kleib''' /vāⁿ kʰlə́i/: Date nut bars (a common Hlou dessert) | |||
