It is referred to as "Borealis" in a more culturally neutral [[w:English language|English language]] on the conworld of "[[Conworld:Sphaera|Sphaera]]".  It is one of four major surviving members of the Galavic family, and the only politically independant one. Fén primarily relies on two scripts, the first, Highlands Fén, or Célán, is a system similar to [[w:runes|runic]] or [[w:Ogham|Ogham runes]] which evolved from a tallymark system. The other is called Lowland Writing and is a more recent innovation derived from the Toryl system, a mixed [[w:alphabet|alphabet]] and [[w:abjad|abjad]],

'''Fén Ghír''' is an [[a priori]] constructed language by [[User:Fauxlosophe|Fauxlosophe]] on the Linguifex Wiki for the conworld Sphaera. It shows heavy [[w:Irish Gaelic|Irish Gaelic]] influence in [[w:orthography|orthography]] and [[w:phonology|phonology]], as well as in [[w:grammar|grammar]]. The grammar and syllable structure have also been heavily influenced by [[w:Japanese|Japanese]]. English and French are also present as lesser influences.</div>

<!--        SELECTED ARTICLE        -->
{{Front/box

| title      = Selected article
| content    = '''{{lg|Morphosyntactic alignment}}''' describes the grammatical relationship between languages' three main sentence arguments, in {{lg|Transitivity|intransitive}} and monotransitive sentences.
Specifically, the core [[w:Argument (linguistics)|arguments]] of verbs, are the two arguments (in English, subject and object) of transitive verbs:
*''The '''dog''' chased the '''cat'''''
And the single argument of intransitive verbs:
 
*''The '''cat''' ran away''
English has a subject, which merges the more active argument of transitive verbs with the argument of intransitive verbs, leaving the object distinct; other languages may have different strategies, or, rarely, make no distinction at all.
 
For conlangers, it is important to know that few languages are of merely one morphosyntactic alignment; in most cases, the alignment varies depending on context. }}

; Not sure where to start?
* If you are new to wikis, you may want to read the '''[[Help:Contents|Help pages]]'''.
*For new editors: Please read our [[Linguifex:Style policy|style guide]], [[Guide:Introduction|introduction guide]] and [[Linguifex:Policy|policies]], before creating a new page.
 
; Adding content
* If you want to help but you're not sure where to start, try improving the various '''[[:Category:Stubs|stub]]''' articles by expanding them.
* Add a new, needed '''[[Special:Wantedcategories|category]].
* Another helpful activity would be to check the list of '''[[Special:Wantedpages|wanted pages]]''' for frequently linked-to articles that don't exist yet.
* Providing [[:Category:Linguistics|linguistic]] and [[:Category:Phonetics|phonetic]] information.
* You can find a list of needed templates [[Special:Wantedtemplates|here]].
 
; Wiki maintenance
* Help us by lending a hand with one of our '''[[Linguifex:Current events|current projects]]'''.
* Make your voice heard in our '''[[Linguifex talk:Policy|policy discussion]]'''.
* '''[[:Category:Improvement|Clean up]]''' articles in need of attention.
* Fix '''[[Special:BrokenRedirects|broken]]''' or '''[[Special:DoubleRedirects|double]]''' redirects.
* Editorial help correcting spelling or grammar is always appreciated.
