Mayyahi (numa Mayyaħī) is a language of Méich Bhaonnáiqh. It has a Proto-Semitic, Sanskrit and Modern Standard Arabic aesthetic and is spoken by the Mayyaħ people.

In-universe influences include Crannish, Azalic, and Togarmite. Mayyaħī has lots of words which look like Crannish, English and Irish but are adapted unetymologically to a Proto-Semitic or Sanskrit aesthetic, sometimes with the same meanings as in the source languages.
