Norinnian or Norinnish is a Latinic language spoken in Norumbia by the Dairi peoples; it is derived from a syncretic mix of Latin, Old Ottonian, and over centuries of development from the settlement of the inital Allamunic colony of Innonland in the 12th century. Unlike Enyaman which is a Tsurushimic language with Wabayan influence, Norinnian has refrained from deriving much of its vocabulary or syntax from Tsurushemsese sources, instead preferring local Wiyátamánwit dialects, or else continental Belisarian morphology, especially during the First Dairi Revival of the mid-late 18th century. It is written in the Norinnian script, which was developed in the late 19th century to properly convey Norinnian and Wiyátamánwit morphology.
Norinnian is spoken by almost ten million people across Enyama and Elatia, chiefly in the Enyaman states of Ertoria and Innia and in the Elatian region of ______. In Enyama, Norinnian is traditionally associated with the Dairi people, though others who live and work in the two Dairi states often have a cursory knowledge of the language.
