Samri (Samri Arabic: سًخِي), also known as Samri Creole, is a language spoken in Sampouiê, by about 26 million people. It is spoken as the first language by the Samriccque, and as a lingua franca by all other populations residing in Sampouiê.
It serves as the official language of Sampouiê and is used in all government works and documents. It is regulated by the Acadmie d'Samri Linguistika, since 1926.
Samri is a mixed creole of Hycathean and Helimian, though Hycathean serves as the dominant lexifer. It is more phonemic then Hycathean but less phonemic then Helimian, largely preserving historical spellings.
