-'''[[Fén Ghír]]''' is a [[w:language|language]] spoken primarily amongst the Fén people on the North-Western Fén Ír penisula, as well as various islands and smaller northern settlements on the continent known as Dínír amongst the Fén. It is referred to as "Borealis" in a more culturally neutral [[w:English language|English language]] on the conworld of "[[Conworld:Sphaera|Sphaera]]".  It is one of four major surviving members of the Galavic family, and the only politically independant one. Fén primarily relies on two scripts, the first, Highlands Fén, or Célán, is a system similar to [[w:runes|runic]] or [[w:Ogham|Ogham runes]] which evolved from a tallymark system. The other is called Lowland Writing and is a more recent innovation derived from the Toryl system, a mixed [[w:alphabet|alphabet]] and [[w:abjad|abjad]],
+'''Attian''' (Attian Hevriti: '''אתנְי''', Latin: '''Athnai''', [[IPA for Attian|/aθˈnai̩/]]) is an [[Attamian languages|Attamian language]] spoken in the [[w:Caucasus|Caucasus]], across the borders of [[w:Georgia (country)|Georgia]], [[w:Armenia|Armenia]] and [[w:Turkey|Turkey]]. It is not known to have any transparent genetic connections to any other language, despite a number of attempts of classification.
+The language has been documented in the Caucasus since at least the 9<sup>th</sup> century AD, with the discovery of the '''Hayastani documents''', (Attian: '''Egrava ta Hayaztan''', '''חגרְוְ טְ חְיְזטְן''') a Greek transcript of the languages in an around the [[w:Transcaucasian|Transcaucasian]] settlements. The now fragile documents were written by the Byzantine Greek philosopher Antenor [[w:Yerevan|Erevanon]], in an effort to investigate the ethnic diversity i the region:

[...] <!-- Then there are the '''[[w:Georgians|Georgioi]]''', quite similar to the Armenioi, but far moredivided and barbaric in their utterances, just like the warmonging Kurds and Turks. --> Then there are the '''[[Qafesona|Caphessonioi]]''', peaceful, tranquil, with a timid stance towards strangers, speaking a language using the very letters of our own alphabet. The '''[[Attian|Attnicoi]]''' on the other hand, are interesting, a reclusive tribe of people, shy to speak with their proper, unintelligible speech; preferring to use that of their neighbours [...]''

-<br/>'''Fén Ghír''' is an [[a priori]] constructed language by [[User:Fauxlosophe|Fauxlosophe]] on the Linguifex Wiki for the conworld Sphaera. It shows heavy [[w:Irish Gaelic|Irish Gaelic]] influence in [[w:orthography|orthography]] and [[w:phonology|phonology]], as well as in [[w:grammar|grammar]]. The grammar and syllable structure have also been heavily influenced by [[w:Japanese|Japanese]]. English and French are also present as lesser influences.
+The language is being created by the user and [[Linguifex:Administrators|administrator]] [[User:Waahlis|Waahlis]] of '''Linguifex'''. Obviously, and almost self-evidently, it has no native speakers and is not the official language anywhere else than in an office.
