About Hjalpi’
The Hjalpi’ language is a language spoken by my conworld’s celestial gods. It is one of the original languages of this conworld along Melexi’ (spoken by the terrestrial gods), Łijokkòn (spoken by dragons) and Zhœhæng (spoken by wyverns and drakes).
This language is meant to represent the actual language existing in my conworld, which is meant to be an extremely subtle and hard to learn language, and only celestial gods can speak it fluently. Knowing this language is extremely hard for humans and knowing some Hjalpi’ can give its speakers an excellent social status, though most of them will only know a few simplistic sentences with some grammatical errors.
My main document I am working on can be found here (in French).
