The '''Qualdomelic language''' (natively ''toj cwaldeumẹlj'' [tɔɪ̯ kwaɫdɛʊ̯ˈmɛʎ] or, in full, ''toj cwaldeumẹlj toj γrămaț'' [- tɔɪ̯ ɣɾəˈmats]) is a language spoken on the planet of [[Verse:Calémere|Calémere]], native language of virtually all people in ''Qualdomailor'' (Qua.: ''Cwaldewmăjlor'' [kwaɫdɛʊ̯ˈməɪ̯lor]), a country in central Márusúturon, where it is the only nationwide official language<ref>Chlouvānem and a few minority languages are co-official in some regions.</ref>, and also by some minority in the northwestern [[Verse:Chlouvānem Inquisition|Chlouvānem Inquisition]] (the country Qualdomailor shares half of its land border with), far western Brono and Ylvostydh (the other two neighboring countries on land), as well as in Leny-tḥewe, Ebed-dowa, Oempras (all three divided from Qualdomailor by the ''Western Sea'' (in Qua. ''ivulit căd ittungaq''), as well as some diaspora communities in other parts of the former Kaiṣamā (notably in Nerekton), in Greater Skyrdagor, and also in the West.<br/>There are about 40 million native Qualdomelic speakers, the vast majority in Qualdomailor.<br/>

After a long period where its international importance was overshadowed by the far greater reach of Chlouvānem and Skyrdagor, the Qualdomelic language is now getting a revival in abroad learning, aided by the less strict visa policies and better human rights record for foreigners in Qualdomailor when compared to the Chlouvānem Inquisition, so that the country has become an obligatory destination for most Westerners interested in Eastern Calemerian culture, lifestyle, and sciences, as well as life in the environmental-friendliest country on Calémere.

'''iKalurilut''' (native pronunciation: [ikaluʁiˈlut]), officially the '''Kalurilut Republic''' ('''Naasimiartut ruKalurilut''' [naːsimiaχˈtut ʁukaluʁiˈlut]), is a country in central Márusúturon, a continent of Calémere. It borders, clockwise from the north, Ylvostydh, Brono, and the Chlouvānem Inquisition; its western borders are maritime, on the Skyrdegan Inner Sea, more precisely the two inlets called Ittungaq Sea (''ivulit ittungaq'', a.k.a. High Ivulit in Chlouvānem sources) and (its southernmost part) Allaasinanngiup Gulf (''ikiissulit allaasinanngiup'', a.k.a. Little Ivulit), which divide it from the countries of Leny-tḥewe, Ebed-dowa, and Oempras. Most of its current borders are mountainous, with the country's highest peak, Mount Isivaruuk (''ingalup iSivaruuk''; <small>[[Chlouvānem|Chl.]]: ''šūlābdeyān ga ñariāh''</small>), on the Chlouvānem border and very close to the tripoint with Brono, being 3.ᘔƐ2 pā (6758₁₀ = about 7021.5 m) high.

iKalurilut lies almost entirely between latitudes 30° and 39°N; its southernmost point is just about one mile south of the 30th parallel north. The country may be divided, thanks to its various mountain chains, in three distinct zones: the iRunguunap plain, along the iPiarunngit river, which lies in the central-northern part of the country and is its most densely populated part; the long but narrow western coast; and the central highlands, which are river basins that ultimately all drain into the western coast through two major rivers - the iSitilluq in the central part and the iKalappiq in the far south<ref>The final stretch of the iKalappiq river, after the canyons, also marks a small section of the border between iKalurilut and the Chlouvānem Inquisition.</ref> - that cut through the mountains in impressive canyon systems.<br/>Both the capital, iVarittuaq ("Flower Hill"), and the largest city, Arvallivat ("Red Castle"), lie in the iRunguunap plain.

===Orthography===

SaKalurilut is written in its own, alphabetic script (called ''sakallana ngaSulurilut''), which is a derivative of an older form of the [[Skyrdagor|Skyrdegan script]], a script it retains a large degree of mutual intelligibility with, despite a few differences through further simplifications the Skyrdegan script underwent and a different printing and typesetting style (the Kalurilut script is characterized by more curved lines).
