The Qazhshavan/Ardonian language is a divergent Slavic Lnaguage, that diverged from the Kento-Polyash group, and is one pf the official languages of Qazhshava along side Srednogorian.

Introduction

The language shares its grammar with the other Slavic langauged, and is one of the only said Slavic languages that uses Defeniteness, however it's vocabulary has diverged the most, in quite a few cases it had presurved older Zarav-Slavic words and is mostly uninteligable to other Slavic speakers.

Writing system

The language uses a Modified Latin script, and a Modified Old Govoric script reffered to as Govorkyn. Usually the Latin Script is used in casual conversations, but the older Govorkyn alphabet is used in formal letters an is seen as the "formal script", but every government official document has to be written in both.
