About Iru
~ Iru ~
Iru is the language spoken by a village of people who live high in the Iberian mountains. It's being made for animation and to be easy to voice act, thus the phonology and orthography of the language are close enough to English that English speakers shouldn't have an issue reading it. Grammatically it draws from multiple paleoiberian languages, PIE, latin, Portuguese and Japanese in different ways and to different extents.
