Yrharian languages: Difference between revisions

The '''Yrharian languages''' ([[Jyrkyr]]: ''Jyrkahux''; Jyhkagur: ''Jyrygux'', ''Jyrykurax'') are one of the language families of the planet of Morev, the largest native language family, which is still being spoken. The family is native to the continent of '''Irgva''', which is the westernmost landmass of the planet Morev. Before the colonization of the planet various language families existed in Irgva and Yrharian was one of the largest by number of speakers (approximately a million), but after only about 200 local years (220 Earth years) just two languages survived having less than 100 thousand native speakers left. Other language families of this continent disappeared completely, mostly by being assimilated into the population of the Mtari colonists. After the Unknown Event (''Cqadi Xalmex'' in Mtari) all connections with both the metropoly and other space colonies were lost and the interstellar transportation became impossible, so the Morev colony became independent, but due to the lack of population most of advanced technologies were completely lost too. Since then the colony expanded greatly occupying almost the third of the continent and all the useful land available there.
