About 'Chavinshpiik
Spoken by the 'Chavin people of Thalun, an ancient civilization on the bottom tip of South America nearly wiped out by an unpredictable tsunami that started off the coast of West Africa. Said tsunami had seemingly been brought into existence by nothing; the 'Chavin claim it was the doing of The Spoon.
The 'Chavin seemed to have disappeared from the Earth suddenly sometime during the 1700s, yet they are still contactable via radio from certain remote locations surrounding the poles. They respond as if they are still present where modern day Southern Argentina and Chile should be, most of their technology seeming to not have progressed beyond the early 1840s.
For the most part they are humble farmers, yet they claim to have advanced knowledge of things like interstellar travel and multiverse theory. They are aware of the fact that we cannot physically visit them any longer, yet refuse to leave their section of the continent or expand their borders for fear of a vaguely ominous threat they describe as Eo Da Ostridartch and The Wob.
They say they have been forcefully transported to a separate reality by The Spoon. At the moment, the technology they use for filming is incompatible with ours, but they do occasionally transmit translatable 2D sonar images through radio. They have in desperation begun to attempt to draw upon the power of their most powerful deities in order to escape their ever encroaching doomsday they call Nessexituus. What will become of them if they make it into our reality instead of the third is not known.
Their religion seems to be terrifyingly effective at predicting events the 'Chavin deem particularly undesirable, though they don't always correspond exactly the same in our reality.
