'''Arha''' (Lit. ''ordered, structured'') is a constructed language spoken in the [[Verse:Void Demesne|Void Demesne]], a dim, stellar region between the galaxies in our local cluster. It is a rigorously standardised language based on the dominant speech of the region 4000 years ago as recorded by the Information Cubes. Knowingly structured by conscious planners to achieve a more mellifluous speech, ''Arha'' in its current form has accumulated a divergence of over 200 features from the ancient linguistic soup it is based on. It is a moderately fusional language encoding 2-3 categories on average per grammatical affix, with the rare affix encoding up to five. | '''Arha''' (Lit.

Arha uses a duodecimal counting system (''nakarh safa'', lit. 'long count') as the standard but an alternate senary system is in use in vast, largely desolate areas (''nakarh resha'' lit. 'trade count' ). | |||
