Khijovian (endonym: Khijovi [‘kɨjoːvi]), also referred to as Modern Standard Khijovian, is an East Khijovic language within the Claronic branch, written in the Kveutonian script. With approximately 136 million speakers, it is the official language of the Ascended Kingdom of Khijovia and ranks among the most widely spoken languages in Sparkalia. Khijovian is also recognized as a minority language in the southwestern cantons of Kyldigard. Linguistically, Khijovian shares a close relationship with the Koritian language, from which it was originally derived. This relationship has led some linguists to classify Khijovian as a dialect of Koritian, although it has since evolved into a distinct language with its own standard form.

Classification

Khijovian belongs to the Claronic branch of the Khijovic language family, which also includes Kalhovian, Carcassonian, Akrocanthian, and Koritian. Of these, Koritian is the most closely related to Khijovian, with the two languages sharing high mutual intelligibility.

History

The development of Khijovian as a standardized language began around 800 AR, drawing heavily from the Koritian language. Koritian exerted significant influence on early Khijovian literature, establishing it as the foundation for what would become the standard form of the language. This influence was largely due to the cultural prestige of numerous Koritian authors and the political and cultural importance of the Republic of Koritia during that period. Koritia's central location and linguistic characteristics also made it a bridge between the northern and southern languages of the region. By the 11th century, Khijovian had become the lingua franca of all Khijovian states. Following the unification of Khijovia on July 11, 1161, it was declared the national language of the Kingdom of Khijovia. The vocabulary of Modern Standard Khijovian has been extensively influenced by the various regional languages spoken throughout the nation.
