The Qazhshavan/Aldonian language is a language islolate in southern Thuadia, it has similar grammatical features with the slavic languages neer the area spoken, and is one pf the official languages of Qazhshava along side Srednogorian.

Introduction

The language's grammaritcal features seem in between of slavic and germanic, it uses defenitiness, and puts nouns before adjectives.

Writing system

The language uses a Modified Latin script, and a Modified Old Govoric script reffered to as Govorkyn. Usually the Latin Script is used in casual conversations, but the older Govorkyn alphabet is used in formal letters an is seen as the "formal script", but every government official document has to be written in both. Historically teh Govorkyn alphabet used the letters ⟨й⟩, ⟨ю⟩, ⟨я⟩ and ⟨ъ⟩, but the alphabet was modernized in 1921 replacing ⟨й⟩ with ⟨j⟩ which effectivly made ⟨ю⟩ and ⟨я⟩ obselite, and ⟨ъ⟩ with ⟨э⟩. There exists an old historic writing system that is currently used only in historic reconstructions and is tought at schools as part of history.
