Fejãto is a little-documented language whose speakers live somewhere west of the Asgejerssø. As more and more study of the language and it's grammar is done, this page will be updated accordingly. For now, only a rudimentary phonology has been compiled by explorers who dare to cross the treacherous seas. | |||
