About Ivalon
Ivalon ( Ivalon: ivalon /ivalɔn/, Vilurian: Ivalonespræk /ivalonəspʰʁæjkʰ/) is an isolated language, once spoken by the native inhabitants, and nowdays as an official language in Viluria.
It was originally only a spoken language, but adopted and adjusted the old Latin-like alphabet for educational reasons when the Vilurians showed up and conquered near areas. Neverthless the Ivalons refused to switch to the in nowday Vilurian used Latin alphabet and didn't take part to the great Vilurian writing change. But the Latin alphabet is an accepted alternative.
