'''Moshurian'''([[w:Endonym|endonym]]: ''uthilikh''; <small>Moshurian:</small> [[IPA for Moshurian|<nowiki>[ˈuðˌilix]</nowiki>]]) is a Tulooric language spoken in mostly Talkoch. It is the most spoken language in Talkoch, and also has significant minority communities on [[Etzeá|Etzeán]] Island and the Eastern Gegfen Alliance, also called the ''Dmuriékh''(lit. "far away east"). It is the sole official language of the Moshurian Empire, and is thoroughly used administratively and academically in the Moshurian Empire, no matter what one's mother tongue is.

Their exonym of ''Moshurian'' comes from a nomadic legend of the god of travel and nomads, Dündŵęk, who traveled to Tuloor Lake(the homeland of the Moshurians) in search of an inn to rest. The Moshurians had plenty of inns(''möşhüř'' as they are called in Ancient Yeldha), and Dündŵęk was finally able to rest. After departing, he thanked the Moshurians, and later mentioned them to the other gods as simply ''möşhüřiànöřmà'', or "inn people". This exonym stuck within nomadic circles, who then passed the exonym to the more settled peoples of Talkoch.


It is one of the only surviving languages indigenous to the Munsanukh Valley, which is generally considered, alongside Tuloor Lake, to be the birthplace of the Moshurian race, culture and language.

The first mention of the Moshurians in non-Moshurian literature was in  Zeror of Ilda's<ref>In 406 BH, during the golden age of Moshuria, Zeror of Ilda wrote the ''Ildaska Mondenikās''(''History of Ilda'', ''Ilda'' being a synonym for the wider eastern Talkoch coast.), which documented the history of eastern Talkoch as he knew it.</ref> ''Ildaska Mondenikās''. in the literary work, the Moshurians are called by various names: Zeror states that in his home region of Ilda, they are called the ''Tulōrii''(people of Tuloor (Lake)), while in neighbouring Maranösia they are known by their most common exonym, the ''Muẕorii''([[Ilda]]<nowiki>nified</nowiki> version of [[Ancient Yeldha]] ''möşhüř''). In the Mezcof Basin, they were apparently known by two names; ''Oētuɫii''<ref>From the Moshurian endonym, ''uthilikh''</ref> and ''Meizirii''<ref>How the exonym arrived in the Mezcof is unclear, although Zeror theorises that it may have been from the Piryētk word ''mud̪ēbe''.</ref>.
