General information
[edit]Cienga is a thriving earth-like planet in the Tia system. The planet is inhabited by anthropomorphic animals, largely divided into mammalians, avians, scalies, arthropods and a few others. Society exists in a moderately science fantasy world.
Mammalian language families
[edit]Cixo-Noxorean
[edit]Cixo-Noxorean (also known as Cetacean languages) is a primary language family spoken largely by the cetacean people of Cienga. Major languages with significant speakers include Asso-Thrystian, Oörcian, Noroxese, Rhoesic, Souemese and Zodoglian. Cixo-Noxorean languages are typically highly inflectional languages,
Caro-Valdic languages
[edit]Caro-Valdic languages are a major primary language family strongly associated with the mammal folk of northeast Noxorea. Major languages include Vasurian, Regropian, Heclivinian and Urlexian. Caro-Valdic languages are known for their complex derivational and inflectional morphology, especially in its auxiliary verb paradigm. According to the most sources by Vasurian scholars, there anywhere from 250-300 distinct Caro-Valdic languages and dialects.
Daxiric languages
[edit]Daxiric languages are a primary language family consisting of 70 identified languages (many moribund or extinct) native to the inhabitants of the Daxira Desert of Noxorea. They are also known as Marsupial languages, though this term is inaccurate, as it includes non-marsupial speakers native to the Daxira region. Daxiric languages exhibit extensive use of apophony in verbal inflection and grammatical tone, as well as possessing a quinary (base five) numeral system. Hulcha (or Hylsian), a language spoken natively by the Hylsian peoples of the Matasine River, is the only remaining vibrant Daxiric language spoken to the present day. Daxiric languages are remarkably conservative in that it has very few borrowings or loanwords in Noxorea.
Fevot's Head–East Girmad Bank languages
[edit]Fevot's Head–East Girmad Bank languages comprises 5 languages spoken in and around the fluvial plains of Fevot's Head and East Girmad. Fevotian is the only vibrant language spoken amongst the elephants in the Kingdom of Alfevotar, while the remaining four, Jijha, K'ol, Satgxami and Xomom are limited to communities numbering less than tens-of-thousands. There is no standard or prestige dialect of Fevotian, and much of its lexicon are borrowed from neighbouring Caro-Valdic and Daxiric languages.
Avian language families
[edit]Islo-Chamic languages
[edit]Islo-Chamic (or Islo-Khamic) languages are one of the most linguistically diverse language families in the world, with over 750 living languages and dialects spread across the continent Islia (Yislya) and Chamia (Khamiya). Islo-Chamic languages are strongly associated with avian society, trade and commerce. Some of the most commonly spoken IC languages include Ayagisan, Bagatiyo, Hrümas, Kalamese, Vokchot, Narachon and Zibal. The Ohóch language (Ohóchin), spoken by the phoenix people on the continent of Tavania, forms its own branch in the family tree, and is associated with royal power. The most prominent feature of IC languages are its extensive consonant inventories, pharyngeal consonants and extensive case system.
Oroba languages
[edit]Also known as Owl languages or the Language of the Striges, Oroba is a collection of fifteen mutually unintelligible languages forming a dialect continuum in the lands of Oroba. Despite its association with owl folk, Oroba is not exclusive to owls, and is spoken regularly by other races. As a language of academia, science, mathematics and religious studies, Oroba exerts a powerful linguistic influence on neighbouring languages, especially Islo-Chamic languages (which in turn, influenced mammalian vocabulary).
Tulucari languages
[edit]Tulucari languages occupy the mountain valleys of the Tulucari ranges. They are spoken by a variety of bird races, but most notably the parrot people. Tulucari languages share areal features and vocabulary from Oroba and Islo-Chamic languages, with as many as 60-70% of its lexicon originating from neighbouring language families. It's core grammar, however, is distinctively Tulucari, with modality playing an important function in verb complexes.
Taïx language
[edit]The Taïx language is the world's largest language isolate spoken natively by penguins. Unlike IC or Oroba, Taïx permutates the rare default word order of object-verb-subject, as well as featuring marked nominative alignment. Taïx inconspicuously lacks independent pronouns, and refers person through demonstratives or verb conjugation. Taïx does not have grammatical gender.
