About Muiralese
The Muiralese (Morolese, Mirilians, Murls etc.) are people of the mirage. They inhabit the mountainous mirage which links almost every range in the Mediterranean, from the Alps to the Atlas. They are as a whole, mostly human, but with drops of blood from the usual suspects. The Muiralese are a a composite people, comprised originally of latin speaking refugees from North Africa and Italy who fled from times of hardship and distress and found themselves in the Mirage. The Muiralese language, as such, has a few features from eastern and western Romance but appears mainly to fit in the Southern family. It is, however, wildly different from its living relatives for a variety of reasons, mainly because of a wild difference in morphological structure brought about by (assumedly) African Latin's near-unrestricted word formation. Through this unrestricted word-formation, new case clitics have been innovated, and the relationship between nouns and adjectives has changed dramatically. Furthermore, a new neutral gender, unrelated morphologically to Latin neuter, has resurfaced in the language.
