Zoygarian (zoyavsci [zojavski] or lingua zoyavsca [lingwa zojavska]) is a Romance language of the Norto-Euronian language family that evolved from colloquial Latin spoken in Southeast Nortua. It is spoken primarily in Zoygaria and serves as the native language of the Zoygarians. In addition to being the official language of Zoygaria, it is also used by the Zoygarian diaspora.
The traditional 31-letter Zoygarian alphabet has eight additions (ă, ą, č, ç, ğ, î, š, ž) to the basic 26-letter Latin alphabet while removing four (j, k, w, x). These four letters are not used in the Zoygarian alphabet, instead replaced by the closest approximate letter or sound combination available, even in foreign loan words.
