About Aistian
Aistian (linguo aistiorų) is a Romance language spoken in Aistia, a country in the Baltic region of Europe. In this alternate universe, the Romans established a trading colony by the Baltic Sea, eventually replacing the language of the locals with Latin. As such, Aistian has a Baltic substrate and is inspired by Baltic languages such as Latvian, Lithuanian, and Old Prussian.
