About High Elvish
High Elvish (amakti’iar) is a North-Central Klamin language of the Elvish branch of the family. It is the official language of the Middle Kingdom. It is a majority language is most of the Middle Kingdom and a reconsidered minority in most surrounding countries. It is the lingua franca of most meetings around the world. It is written in the High Elvish Script which is an alphabet.
It is phonetically fairly simple with there being some sounds like /t'/ and /ʔ/ that only occur when suffixes start with the same letter as the end of the last word. Most speakers understand the language even when they are not used.
The language is highly argumentative and fairly regular. A lot of the language is very constructed due to the pride that comes from the language. The Middle Kingdom is known for being militaristic and quite racist and so High Elvish is a very prideful point of the kingdom. It is known for changing aspects to make it the "perfect" language they know it to be.

Language family relationships
[edit] [view] Katsika (Mountain High Elvish)This dialect is unique for a lot of reasons. Mainly, it's more diverse sounds. But also, the fact it exists at all. Middle Kingdom nationalism has lead to the standard language being enforced in all but one province in the kingdom, the mountainous province in the southern part of the kingdom. Filled with loan words from neighbouring languages and unique sounds, the language is even spoken by many of the royals, though all locals know to not speak it to officials.
