Anteria

The Mokhavian language is the widely spoken of it's family, called Mokhavic, and the official language of the nation of Qazhshava. It is an ancient Thuadian tounge with no known ancestral conection to the surrounding Thuado-Thrismaran languages.

Eurth

The mokhavian langauge is an indigenous langauge spoken in central Argis, it is believed to be conected to the Vostauc langauges, mainly the Elmoric langauge, due to similar cognates, this hypothesis states that the Vostauc-Mokhavic langauges split around 5000 BCE.

Classification

As of yet, any attempts to link the Mokhavian languages to any other languages in the world have failed, altough some still believe its a very old relative to the Thuado-Thrismaran languages/Indo-European languages, which is only backed up by similar features which have been speculated and some proven to have come due to influence from said languages, and some reconstructed-proto words and existign root words that seem to have been borrowod from early forms of the slavic and germanic languages.

Dialects

The standart form of the Mokhavian language is based on the mezhian dialect, also known as the Southern Hill dialect.

Stress

Stress in Mokhavian usually falls on the first syllable of the root, but there are words where its on other syllables.

Writing System

Mokhavian is written using the Govoric script, which was adopted around the 11th century, and used ever sence
Govoric version:

А а Б б В в Г г Д д Дз дз Е е Є є Ж ж Ӝ ӝ
З з Ҙ ҙ И и Й й К к Ӄ ӄ Л л Ԓ ԓ М м Н н
Ӈ ӈ О о П п Р р С с Т т Тԓ тԓ У у Ў ў Ӱ ӱ
Ф ф Х х Хў хў Ц ц Ч ч Ш ш Ь ь Ы ы Ӹ ӹ


In the late 18th cnetury Lakhian and Lakkathan traders and travlers coming back from the Qazhshavan colony in Encessia brought back the Mkhedruli script which was adopted for their languages, due to the area being hard to access at the time, literacy rates in the mountains were low compared to other regions and the Mkhedruli script started being tought by locals to locals, eventually becoming part of the culture there.

т̑гоктав саӄа /◌ˠ/ ġ "Hard sign", aka Velar sign, is a diacritic in the mokhavian govoric script that is paired with ⟨г⟩ to indicate that the sound is velar.
Modern scollers suggest that the letter ⟨ъ⟩ be used instead, but that idea has been rejected. Note that the
digraph ⟨ў̑г⟩ is pronounced as [ʁʷ], and ⟨к̑г⟩ & ⟨ӄ̑г⟩ get voiced
(/ɡ/,/ɢ/). The romanized version of the letter is sometimes spelled as ⟨ğ⟩.
Letters used for old and proto Mokhavian words
Ҫ ҫ ҫӑ /θ~s̪/ ŧ, th The dental fricative fell out of the mokhavic languages around the 2nd century AC, with the last one to lose it being the
Haydġa tounge, which lost it in the 15th century. The letter ⟨ŧ⟩ is used as the symbol for the Mokhavian currency, the Yul
becouse in old-mokhavic theword for money was ҫйол which became modern day юл.
Ҙ ҙ ҙӑ /ð~z̪/ đ, dh
Ӗ ӗ /ɛ̽~ɜ/ ӗ, ë This letter is used for the unstressed reduction of the ⟨e⟩ vowel before it disapeared.

Numerals

The Mokhavian numberal system is decimal.
