About Whep
Spoken by both humans and Mec in Ełuftimer, Sjepe is related to Ełufti and Fyþan by way of all being
Yugalic as well as having constant contact between the cultures. Despite the position of Sjepe as an official language, recognised only recently by the Ełuftimer government, Sjepe and its speakers remain strong despite no legal claim to land other than before the Ełufti speakers took over which was a long time ago. Sjepe remains distinct in its core region in the Southeastern region of Ełuftimer's Northern Island known as Ydär in Sjepe.
