About Gravian
NOTE: I'm no longer working on this language.
As this was my first language, I didn't know as much about linguistics as I do now, so this language will remain discontinued, but not completely abandoned.
I might revamp this language in the future, but for now, think of it as completely nonexistent.
Gravian is the language spoken by 2.102 million Gravinians in the country known as Graviska.
Graviska is a country located in the region of Aanakus, containing a subcontinent and several surrounding islands.
Gravinians are indigenous to Aanakus, taking up nearly the entire subcontinent, along with natives of the smaller islands, known as Rospians, or "Mikurkrospasa" in Gravian.
Something highly apparent about Gravian is the ability to put suffixes and prefixes on a noun or verb to change its meaning.
This type of grammar and morphology can lead to extremely long words, however, generally a verb will separate two terms.
