Eirian (Eirian: Eirian, Lei Lank Eirian) is an Eiric language spoken by over 100 million people, primarily across Eiria, Auria, and Wosteaque. It evolved from Proto-Eirian, a rudimentary creole of French and Latvian (with some influence from languages such as English and Tervali).

Writing System[edit | edit source]

Eirian is written with a slightly modified Latin script, with 24 base letters and six modified letters. For vowel diacritics, macrons (ā,ē,ī,ō) are used. For consonants, the main diacritical marks are carons (č and š), however acute accents (such as ć) are also used to denote spellings that differ from Eirian phonetic pronunciation rules.

The Eirian alphabet is as follows:
