About Moshrang
Language spoken in Moshrr (Moshra in Standard Bodin), a country in the warm north sub-equatorial zone on the Zuda (Suda in SB) continent of the planet Dengya (Boden in SB).
Most speakers in the current era (i.e. since telecommunications became widely available) also speak at least some Standard Bodin as a second language, as it is the international trade language and most widely spoken language on Boden.
Moshrang uses a similar, but not the same, conscript alphabet as Standard Bodin. The scripts share a common ancestor but have diverged - think Cyrillic vs. the Greek alphabet.
The romanisation I'm using for Moshrang words and translations corresponds more closely to the conscript spelling than Standard Bodin's romanisation does. The digraphs kk, ss, gg, zz /x ʃ ɣ ʒ/ correspond to the doubled k, s, g, z /k s g z/ letters that represent these sounds in Bodin script.
