==Etymology==
==Etymology==


The term Lhedwin originates in the {{wpl|Welsh language|Mân Lhaeraidd}} language as ''Lledwin'' or ''Gwlad Ledwin''. The word ''Lledwin'' is itself a compound of ''lled-'' "foreign" and ''win'', the soft mutation of ''gwin'' "wine", originally meaning "mead" or referring to a specific variety of mead which was introduced to [[Tir Lhaeraidd]] by people from Lhedwin (the usual word for "mead" being ''med'' or ''medd''). The name ''Gwlad Ledwin'' "land of mead" was sometimes applied to the region of Lhedwin, but later the word ''Lledwin'' itself supplanted this phrase. As the distinct groups of Lhedwin lacked a common name for their region, this word was borrowed from the Lhaeraidd and is the origin of the name used in the various varieties of the {{wpl|Danish language|Lhedwinic language}} as well as in {{wpl|Kashubian language|Ostric}}.

As Lhedwinic varieties have long been the primary language of Lhedwin in general this term is the one which has entered most foreign languages.


The [[Vrnallian language|Vrnallian]] name ''Tambiu'' and {{wpl|Finnish language|Nausikaan}} ''Tappu'' originate in the [[Old Vrnallian language|Old Vrnallian]] word ''t'ábbu'' "east", as mainland Lhedwin lies to the east of the Vrnallian archipelago.
The [[Vrnallian language|Vrnallian]] name ''Tambiu'' and {{wpl|Finnish language|Nausikaan}} ''Tappu'' originate in the [[Old Vrnallian language|Old Vrnallian]] word ''t'ábbu'' "east", as mainland Lhedwin lies to the east of the Vrnallian archipelago. In Vrnallia this has been used to refer to Lhedwin as long as that language is attested in writing, and evidently the term was transmitted to Nausikaans, with whom the Vrnallians have had contact for at least as long. The meaning of "east" was later lost in Vrnallian and the term came to exclusively mean "Lhedwin" in both languages. An archaic word ''Nucha'' in Vrnallian originally referred to Nausikaa (to which word it is cognate), later expanding to mean all of Lhedwin, but is now used only in poetry to mean "Lhedwin" or "Crylante".

Further integration has stalled, as the Lhedwinic nations failed to reach a consensus on a single currency.

The Lhedwinic archipelago, commonly referred to as Lhedwin, is a geo-political region located in the northwest of the continent of Asura. It is made up of five sovereign states: Glanodel, Navack, and Crylante

Etymology

The term Lhedwin originates in the Mân Lhaeraidd language as Lledwin or Gwlad Ledwin. The word Lledwin is itself a compound of lled- "foreign" and win, the soft mutation of gwin "wine", originally meaning "mead" or referring to a specific variety of mead which was introduced to Tir Lhaeraidd by people from Lhedwin (the usual word for "mead" being med or medd). The name Gwlad Ledwin "land of mead" was sometimes applied to the region of Lhedwin, but later the word Lledwin itself supplanted this phrase. As the distinct groups of Lhedwin lacked a common name for their region, this word was borrowed from the Lhaeraidd and is the origin of the name used in the various varieties of the Lhedwinic language as well as in Lilledic and Ostric. As Lhedwinic varieties have long been the primary language of Lhedwin in general this term is the one which has entered most foreign languages.

The Vrnallian name Tambiu and Nausikaan Tappu originate in the Old Vrnallian word t'ábbu "east", as mainland Lhedwin lies to the east of the Vrnallian archipelago. In Vrnallia this has been used to refer to Lhedwin as long as that language is attested in writing, and evidently the term was transmitted to Nausikaans, with whom the Vrnallians have had contact for at least as long. The meaning of "east" was later lost in Vrnallian and the term came to exclusively mean "Lhedwin" in both languages. An archaic word Nucha in Vrnallian originally referred to Nausikaa (to which word it is cognate), later expanding to mean all of Lhedwin, but is now used only in poetry to mean "Lhedwin" or "Crylante".
