Tuyan (/ˈtʰʊjən/), specifically the primary variety known as Standard Central Tuyan (tuguẽiñẽ [tuwẽɪˈɲẽ] "the people's language"), is a southern Thuadian language that belongs to the Tuy-Suy langauge fammily. It is one of the official languages of Hondonia (along with Rouman), where it is spoken by majority of the population, and where half of the rural population is monolingual. It is spoken by communities in neighboring countries, including parts of [PLACEHOLDER], [PLACEHOLDER] and [PLACEHOLDER]. It is also an official language of the Sekidean Union.
Orthofox priest Radu cel Bătrân, who in 1639 published the first written grammar of Central Tuyan in a book called Comori ale limbii tuiane (Treasure of the Tuyan Language), described it as a language "so copious and elegant that it can compete with the most famous [of languages]".
