'''Holenagic''' — natively called ''' | '''Holenagic''' — natively called '''Hgâhlenaihduq''' [ˈɣɔɬənæjuq] or '''hfrahb ê Ngâhlenaid''' [ˈɔː i ˈŋɔɬənatʃ] or, rarely, ''hfrahb uir qehfthlehgar'' [ˈɔː irʲ ˈq͡χeːtʰɬe.ər] — is a language of the planet of [[Verse:Calémere|Calémere]], spoken natively by about 13 million people on '''Holenagika''' (Hol.: ''Ngâhlenaid'' [ˈɣɔɬənatʃ] [[Íscégon|Ísc.]]: ''Holenágieca''; [[Cerian|Cer.]]: ''Holenájica''; [[Chlouvānem|Chl.]]: ''Hålinaica''), Calémere's largest island, located in the northwestern corner of Evandor (mostly covered by mountains, taiga, and tundra in the north). | ||
It is an [[Evandorian languages|Evandorian language]] and an isolate in the family, as it developed early enough to have its own peculiarities, not shared with any other Evandorian language, both in the sounds and in the grammar.It also keeps a highly etymological orthography, with many silent letters, as in ''hdieigv'' "road" /iːvʲ/ [iːvʲ] (Western Holenagic dialects: /iː/), ''siôhp'' "fruit" /ɕef/ [ɕew], or ''hfrahb'' "language" /ɔː/ [ɔː]. | |||
-- | ==External History== | ||
Holenagic is a language I have rebuilt from scratch many times. Its first version had a Lithuanian-like orthography but was very un-Lithuanian-sounding, then I began to change it in order to have something that was not really like the languages near it. After all, as Holenagica is a large island at the periphery of Evandor, it kinda made sense to have unusual features in it. So I settled for it to be the outlier of the family, with unusual sounds among Evandorian languages and an opaque, very conservative orthography. My main inspirations behind it are Irish, Klingon, and Icelandic. | |||
