The Crethian language (Crethian: Krøtinsk [kʰɾˠøt̪ˠɪnɕ]) is a Nordanian language spoken in Crethia. It originated as a divergent dialect of Old Standard Lhedwinic, with a heavy Old Mardic substrate and phonological influence. This unique mixing of peoples within Crethia led to a creolized culture sharing features, names, and a great deal of history. The language produced is highly reflective of this creolized culture: while not itself a creole, the heavy Mardic influence makes it difficult to understand for other Lhedwinic peoples outside of its more conservative written form. The language is regulated by the Council for Crethian Speakers.
