About Ushnagos
ImÀ, UqoñadÀ !
[i.ma u.ɣo.ŋaˑ.da] Hello, my friends!
Ushnagos (literally meaning "our language") is spoken by around 120 million people in the tropical island nation of Pernagos.
It, along with English, is used as an offical language and lingua franca among the diverse ethnic groups in the nation.
Ushnagos is a language isolate with no relation to any language near it. Relatively unknown until 500 years ago, it mysteriously resurged as the language of government & religon and surplanted itself as the dominate language of the Pernagoese.
