About Ihweun Ihweun is a language I'm creating for a fictional world. It spoken by a race of cloud-dwelling, magic using, winged fairies that live in cloudy cities suspended in the sky overhead their world's oceans and seas. Ihweu'eu are averse to hard work, preferring instead to socialize, create, play, and show off. Cities operate as communal colonies, sharing resources and distributing work evenly. As much administrative work as possible is offloaded to magical inventions, with the aim of leaving Ihweu'eu to enjoy their free time as often as possible. The primary export of most Ihweu cities is enchanted items, which they sell in exchange for food and tangible luxuries that they can not conjure themselves with magic.

The race is made up of only one sex, so the language itself features no gendered pronouns. However, they do have a large amount of descriptive words for numerous different gender archetypes, some that are unique to Ihweun, and some have been adopted from other races. In cases where the gender archetype is adopted from another race, they take the gendered pronouns from that language and use them as adjectives (eg. if the neighboring race were English humans, they might say: "that's very she of them." or "They act very he.")

I tried my best to choose light and airy sounds for this language, and I am also trying to keep it simple because I'm very new to linguistic terms. I'm struggling a bit to learn how to record all my ideas for their vowels properly on site, but I will try my best!
