About Erkudan
Zaeve hu aneti Erkis venneair! /ˈzae̯.vɛ hu ˈa.neˌti ˈɛɾ.kis ˈven.ne̯aˌiɾ/ Hello and welcome to the Erkudan language!
Erkudan is designed to be a pleasant-sounding language, inspired phonetically by Latin and Valyrian. I don't currently have a conworld, but I'm planning to create a people to speak this language. I've created many languages, but this is the one that I've put the most effort into and also the one with the highest number of words so far — around 590.
I've recently created an alphabet fit for this language, the Erkdrelar script. However, I predominantly use the Latin alphabet to write this language.
