'''Līlasuṃghāṇa''' ("[place of] singing ''nāmñē'' cubs"; [[Chlouvānem]] pronunciation: {{IPA|[ɴ̆iːɴ̆ɐsũgʱäːɳɐ]}}; Līlasuṃghāṇi vernacular: '' | '''Līlasuṃghāṇa''' ("[place of] singing ''nāmñē'' cubs"; [[Chlouvānem]] pronunciation: {{IPA|[ɴ̆iːɴ̆ɐsũgʱäːɳɐ]}}; Līlasuṃghāṇi vernacular: ''Lýṃsuṃhōun'' {{IPA|[ɴ̆iə̯ŋ˨˥ʃuŋ˧xou̯n˦˩]}}; popularly shortened to <small>(Chl.)</small> ''Līlah'' {{IPA|[ɴ̆iːɴ̆ɐɦ]}} or <small>(vern.)</small> ''Lýṃ'' {{IPA|[ɴ̆iə̯ŋ˨˥]}}) is the capital of the [[Verse:Chlouvānem Inquisition|Chlouvānem Inquisition]], the holy city of the ''[[Verse:Yunyalīlta|Yunyalīlta]]'', an ''eparchy'' (Chl.: ''ṭūmma'') within the diocese of ''Nanašīrama'', which it is also the episcopal seat of, and the largest city on [[Verse:Calémere|Calémere]], even though it is not, administratively, a single city. | ||
Līlasuṃghāṇa lies on the southeastern shore of Lake Lūlunīkam (an inlet of the Jahībušanī sea) in the Jade Coast, with most of the eparchy's area extending south along the southern branch of the Lake, formed by the clearwater Lanamilūki river coming from the wetlands and [[w:Várzea forest|várzeas]] of Talæñoya. Most of the area where the present-day core sectors of Līlasuṃghāṇa lie were formerly a swampland where the Ēmīlumi river ("river of tigers"), the Talitanah river ("cocoa river"), and the Rajālyāti river ("silver-black river") - all three blackwater - reach Lake Lūlunīkam. This former swamp, nestled between low forested hills and the shore, was mostly drained through centuries and is now one of the most densely populated pieces of land on Calémere. Despite lying just south of the 15th parallel north, Līlasuṃghāṇa has an equatorial rainforest climate with constant rainfall throughout the year and no distinct seasons. | Līlasuṃghāṇa lies on the southeastern shore of Lake Lūlunīkam (an inlet of the Jahībušanī sea) in the Jade Coast, with most of the eparchy's area extending south along the southern branch of the Lake, formed by the clearwater Lanamilūki river coming from the wetlands and [[w:Várzea forest|várzeas]] of Talæñoya.

The name of Līlasuṃghāṇa predates the city, and is a bahuvrihi compound of ''līlas'' - the name (nowadays archaic) of cubs of ''nāmñē'', a tropical seal living along most of the Inquisition's tropical coasts - and ''suṃghāṇa'', meaning "melody". The name thus means "melody of nāmñē cubs", intended as "the place where nāmñē cubs sing melodies". | The name of Līlasuṃghāṇa predates the city, and is a bahuvrihi compound of ''līlas'' - the name (nowadays archaic) of cubs of ''nāmñē'', a tropical seal living along most of the Inquisition's tropical coasts - and ''suṃghāṇa'', meaning "melody".

The vernacular-derived form ''Lýṃ ñü'' {{IPA|[ɴ̆iə̯ŋ˨˥ ɲy˧]}}, rendered as ''Līlnyuh'' in Chlouvānem, is commonly used both in the vernacular and in Chlouvānem, albeit only informally. | ||
In foreign languages, it is mostly known by transliterations of the Chlouvānem name ([[Qualdomelic]]: ''Lilasunggana'', [[Skyrdagor]]: ''Ninaszungana'', [[Nordulaki]]: ''Ninasungana'', [[Cerian]]: ''Nínasungána'', [[Holenagic]]: ''Ngingasunggana''), but in [[Brono-Fathanic]] it is commonly called "Holy City" due to it being the holiest city of the Yunyalīlta (Bronic: ''Boraosovahisy'', Fathanic: ''Brawswahes''), with the full form "Holy City of Līlasuṃghāṇa" (Bronic: ''Lilasongana boraosa ovahisy'', Fathanic: ''Liŋaseuŋgan braws wahes'') being only found in a few official reports or in lists of holy cities and places. | In foreign languages, it is mostly known by transliterations of the Chlouvānem name ([[Qualdomelic]]: ''Lilasunggana'', [[Skyrdagor]]: ''Ninaszungana'', [[Nordulaki]]: ''Ninasungana'', [[Cerian]]: ''Nínasungána'', [[Holenagic]]: ''Ngingasunggana''), but in [[Brono-Fathanic]] it is commonly called "Holy City" due to it being the holiest city of the Yunyalīlta (Bronic: ''Boraosovahisy'', Fathanic: ''Brawswahes''), with the full form "Holy City of Līlasuṃghāṇa" (Bronic: ''Lilasongana boraosa ovahisy'', Fathanic: ''Liŋaseuŋgan braws wahes'') being only found in a few official reports or in lists of holy cities and places. | ||

The most spoken native language excluding these two has been found to be the Western Chlouvānem Creole, spoken by about 4% of people. Among non-Chlouvānem languages, the most spoken include [[Brono-Fathanic|Bronic]], [[Kuyugwazian]], [[Soenjoan]], [[Lenyan]], other Kenengyry languages, and various languages from Eastern Védren. | ||
Even by Chlouvānem standards, Līlasuṃghāṇa is a culturally diverse city, first of all because of its position between two major cultural areas, the Great Plain and the South, with traits of both found in the city and its surroundings, and also because of its political role, attracting people from all of the Chlouvānem world and beyond. | Even by Chlouvānem standards, Līlasuṃghāṇa is a culturally diverse city, first of all because of its position between two major cultural areas, the Great Plain and the South, with traits of both found in the city and its surroundings, and also because of its political role, attracting people from all of the Chlouvānem world and beyond. | ||
