About Halenius
Halenius is the language of a fictional planet called Rea (/ɾajje/).
All the countries in Rea elect the emperor of Halenia (/haɫɯnja/) for life and recognise the emperor's rule. Despite having different pronunciations, writing systems, dialects etc., everybody in Rea speaks Halenius.
The name of Halenius signifies the unifying character of this language. People of Halenia are called Hälen (/ha:ɫɯn/) and ius means "stick". So Halenius makes all the peoples of Rea stick together and unifies them under the language of the Hälens.
