Welcome!


Language of Rasan, the Crimson Desert

Sister language to  Sennic Rasanian. Its name originates from  Standard Imperial Alteian galhak or galahak meaning "shining, glittering" and likely links to Kalish people's usage of crimson steel made from Pay-Sáwian iron for jewelry and other components of their traditional clothing. Serves as lingua franca of Rasan. Native and L2 speakers of fluent or semi-fluent proficiency combined may reach numbers as high as 3 million.

Features

- analytical grammar, fluid-S, heavily zero-marking, with a bit more synthetic derivation
- SVO word order
- volition indicated by a patientive particle
- intervocalic voicing of all voiceless consonants (most of western varieties lack this feature)
- mixed base-5 and base-10
- top to bottom, left to right hangul-like writing system
- a lot of x, do you want some
- yes we have <tg> /d͡ʒ/ because we hate <j> /ʒ d͡ʒ/ in this household what you gonna do about it
