'''[[Minhast]]''' '' (Minhast min kirim'', lit. ''"Minhast-speak")'' is the spoken language of the Republic of Minhay, with a robust speech community of nearly 26 million people, approximately one million of them living in expatriate communities, with the largest concentrations residing in the U.S., Xayda, Mexico, the Middle East, Kailukuanpūr, and Canada. Significant numbers also exist in Southeast Asia and Norhern Europe. It is divided into two major dialects, Upper Minhast and Lower Minhast, each of which is divided into several smaller subdialects, such as the Salmon Speaker variant of the Upper Minhast dialect, and the Osprey Speaker variant of the Lower Minhast dialect. It is an a priori language created by [[User:Anyar|Anyar]].
'''[[Valian]]''' (''Välyatalle'' [ˈvæl.jɑˌtɑl.le], lit. ''"Good-speech"'') is an a priori artistic sketchlang inspired by the Finnic languages. In-universe, it is part of a very small language family of even sketchier sketchlangs, all spoken among various minority populations in Eurasia. It was primarily inspired by Estonian phonology, in a naïve and early attempt to maximize so-called 'cellar door'-sounds. It was created and is in the process of revision by [[User:Chrysophylax|Chrysophylax]]

Typologically, Minhast is an ergative, polysynthetic language. Verbal morphology is highly aggluginative and performs noun incorporation and other complex valence operations. Unmarked word order is SOV. Ergativity surfaces both at the morphologic and syntactic levels.

Typologically, Valian is a nominative-accusative, vaguely agglutinative language. Verbal and nominal morphology is relatively simple. Unmarked word order is SVO but as Valian verbs are able to encapsulate pronouns in an agglutinative fashion, variation is possible.
