The Pustogorian Bogmian language (Bogmian: Pustogorská Bogmijština), or simply referred to as Bogmian language (Bogmian: Bogmijština), is a language spoken in the Puste Gory (Mokhavian: Tlhenget, Common: Barren Mountains) area of the Nohchat Province of Qazhshava, which developed in a Bogmian community which fled Bogmia shortly after the Empire of Three Kings was formed.

History

The Bogmian language was the slavic language spoken in Bogmia, but after the integration with the Slavic Zhengian, it developed into the present day form of the Zhoushi language.

Alphabet

Although originally using the Protopolyashi script, Bogmian language in exile later developed an alphabet on its own. In an act of defiance, the Bogmians in exile developed a diacritic alphabet, which is in a strong contrast to the Zhoushi grapheme script. This alphabet uses four digraphs (dj, dz, dž and tj) and three diacritic markers: caron for softening (Č, Ě, Ľ, Ň, Ř, Š and Ž), circumflex for phonetic shifts (Ĥ and Ô) and accute for vowel lenghtening)

The letter Ĥ was later introduced to distinguish the sound of /ɦ/ from foreign words from the sound /x/. Example of the usage may be the word ĥistorie (history), which is read as /ɦɪstorijɛ/.
