About Chelurche The common ancestor of the Chira languages, belonging to the Varadic language family of western and central Dawera.
It was spoken in medieval times by tribes inhabiting the lands northeast of Nesyania, however, it was the westernmost Varadic language, hence its name derived from  Proto-Varadic *kie-lorëki ‘of the western mountains’.
It features:
  • agglutinative morphological typology
  • nominative-accusative alignment
  • pluractionality
  • reduplication

So, basically, another day in paradise boring conlang in the neighborhood.
