Habesīnan is an Indo-European language, spoken in Ethiopia in Lõis. In modern times it's mostly used as a liturgical and classical language, with the majority of the population speaking Togarmite.
Paḷkhan
Inspired by Kannada and Marathi
Some nativized (tadbhava) Sanskrit words
- ṇnima "full moon" <- *puṇnima <- Sanskrit pūrṇimā
- pyaḷda "king" <- "noble" <- ati-vṛddha "overgrown" (c.f. Old English æþel)
- mhaṇa "monk" <- śramaṇa
Palkhan borrows more from Sanskrit (even some derivational affixes) than Pandoga
Indian grammatical tradition
Includes historical linguistics? they may study the relationship between Greek and Sanskrit and develop a deep orthography that fits both (that could be Panini's claim to fame in Lõis!)
Polish Azalic
Inspired by Scots and Yiddish
