The Pustogorian Bogmian language (Bogmian: Pustogorská Bogmijština), or simply referred to as Bogmian language (Bogmian: Bogmijština), or by its exile name referred to as the Pustogorian language or Pustogorian dialect (Bogmian: Pustogorština), is a language spoken in the Pusté Gory (Haydag: Тлъенгетав Гаў, Common: Barren Mountains or Tlhenget Mountains) area of the Northern Territory of Qazhshava, which developed in a Bogmian community which fled Bogmia shortly after the Empire of Three Kings was formed.

History

The Bogmian language was the slavic language spoken in Bogmia, but after the integration with the Slavic Zhengian, it developed into the present day form of the Zhoushi language, which is still slavic, but with notable inclusion of some Zhengian grammatical aspects, such as fourth person denoting clusivity or large Prei-Phnom influence in phonology and vocabulary, as well as the development of a special alphabet lacking diacritics in favor of special characters.

Alphabet

Although originally using the Protopolyashi script, Bogmian language in exile later developed an alphabet on its own. In an act of defiance, the Bogmians in exile developed a diacritic alphabet, which is in a strong contrast to the Zhoushi grapheme script. This alphabet uses four digraphs (dj, dz, dž and tj) and three diacritic markers: caron for softening (Č, Ě, Ľ, Ň, Ř, Š and Ž), circumflex for phonetic shifts (Ĥ and Ô) and accute for vowel lenghtening (Á, É, Í, Ó, Ú and Ý).

The letter Ĥ was later introduced to distinguish the sound of /ɦ/ from foreign words from the sound /x/. Example of the usage may be the word ĥistorie (history), which is read as /ɦɪstorijɛ/.

Historically, multiple variants were developed, including a govoric one:

Grammar

Unlike Zhoushi, Pustogorian Bogmian preserved exclusively Slavic base, with little to no Zhengian influence. Example of this may be the lack of clusivity distinction, still preserved vowel lenght and little to no noun gender indifference (Only notable word is a loanword "Zombie").

  1. Bogmian language in Bogmia developed into the Zhoushi language via the merger with Slavic Zhengian language, although some dialects are still linguistically close to the pure Bogmian spoken in the Tlhenget Mountain Range
