Borfusan is a Borfusic language indigenous to the Farokandi Archipelago spoken natively by around 1.1 million people. Spoken by the Borfusans, it is official in the federal republic of Borfusa in Farokand, as well as in the smaller autonomous communities of Olerteva and Borfusanzistan. Borfusan is one of the Paleo-Culanian languages, a group of languages that predate the arrival of the Visto-Culanians to the Culanian continent. The Paleo-Culanian languages have not been proven to be genealogically related, but they do form a sprachbund, known as the Paleo-Culanic sprachbund, which is a major source of Borfusan vocabulary.
Borfusan evolved out of Old Borfusan, one of the Old Southern dialects of Proto-Borfusic. It received numerous outside influences, mainly from other Borfusic languages, which in turn helped it remain the least-divergent Borfusic language, especially in terms of phonology. Following the Malthasvarian migration and the discovery of the island of Borfusa by the Malthasvarian kingdoms, Borfusan received significant Malthasvarian influences, especially from languages such as Kandu and Kilari.
