Khijovian (endonym: Khijovi [‘kɨjʊːvi]), also known as Modern Standard Khijovian, is a Clastovic language of the Khijovic language family, which is indigenous to the Khijovic region and unrelated to any other known language family. Khijovian is spoken primarily in Khijovia and in the southwestern cantons of Kyldigard, with approximately 136 million native speakers, making it one of the most widely spoken languages in Sparkalia.

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 Grand Duchy 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 official language 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.
