About Isthian
Isthian is a conlang I am creating to use in creative writing and worldbuilding. While it has multiple dialects, the common dialect is spoken by the large desert and hill city states of the Fozil Desert. Isthian speakers are often bilingual, speaking both their native Isthian as well as the widespread common language, Rosli.
