Ziromnian is an Okchon language spoken by about 390,000,000 people, the vast majority of whom live in Ziromnia, where it is the national language.

Ziromnian is part of the Omnic languages, which evolved from several dialects of Celisequo on the western coast of Lake Okchon after the collapse of the Okchon Empire in the 3rd century. The oldest systematic written use of the language happened in Rodmond, a prominent city of the Kingdom of Ziromnia, in the 7th century. The conquests of the Ziromnian Empire helped spread Ziromnian influences around the entire Western Okchon area, most notably in Vuisese.

Ziromnian is a descendant of Celisequo, and has one of the smaller degrees of difference from it (about 20%) alongside Reunic and Empireedian. Around 85% of modern Ziromnian vocabulary is derived from Celisequo, including Celisequo borrowings from Essuzic. It is also one of the most taught foreign languages throughout the world.

History

yeah yeah we'll get there

Classification

Ziromnian is a member of the Omnic languages, along with other large languages such as Ixoleco and Vuisese. Along with the rest of the Omnic languages, Ziromnian is descended from Celisequo, specifically the Cellenic dialect.

According to the Telinguan Compendium, lexical similarity is 90% with Vuisese, 88% with Ixoleco, 82% with Empireedian, and 75% with Aelandian. However, these numbers are disputed, and the number with Aelandian suposedly was taken from a biased sample.

Scholars dispute whether or not Vuisese is a separate language from Ziromnian or not. The two are phonetically distinct, however the vast majority of words are shared. Most Ziromnian scholars consider the languages distinct, however a fair amount of international scholars do not.

Geographic Distribution

Ziromnian is an official language of Ziromnia and Xuzilvuis and is spoken fluently by the majority of the countries' populations. Ziromnian is also used in administration and official documents in the Okchon Alliance.
