Struman (endonym: strumenë [ˈstɾumenᵊ] or gralë strumenë [ˈgɾalᵊ ˈstɾumenᵊ], literally "struman voice") is an Indo-European language spoken by the Struman people in north-central Argis and by the Struman diaspora, which is generally concentrated in the rest of Argis and in Europa. With about 7 million speakers, it comprises an independent branch within the Indo-European languages and is not closely related to any other living Indo-European language, but scholars suspect it might be a relative to the Balto-Slavic languages or the Albanian language due to similar grammar and vocabulary.
