Myacha (/ˈmjat͡ʃə/), or Standard Northern Myacha (Myâ Câ [mja˥˦˩ t͡s̠a˥˦˩] - "mountain language"), is a Honoic langauge spoken in the mountains of southern Thuadia, mainly in the nation of Hondonia, where it's one of the 3 official languages, it is also official in the Sekidean Union. The language is the most spoken out of the Honoic family and serves as a lingua franca in the mountains of Hondonia from the ancient times of the Tùocóng empire. The standard form of the language is based on the northern dialect, known natively as Tùo Câ which translates to "Thunder Dragon language". Myacha is a tonal and analytical language, majority of it's vocabulary is mono- or disyllabic, meaning it is comprised of one or two syllables. The language is written in a modyfied latin alphabet, it also has its own native script which is getting revived among the common population, as during the Moldanian expansion of the collony of Noua Românie expanded indo the Tùocóng empire and the Moldanians conquered it, the script was able to stick arround only in the isolate and hard to reach monesteries and temples in the mountains.
