Language Name	Baronh
Language Author	Hiroyuki Morioka
Year Began	1996
Site	Baronh
Broken Link	No
Site Language	English
Language Type	fictional language
Uniqueness	Language of the Abh people from Morioka's novel, Seikai no Monshou ("Crest of the Stars"). The grammar and common words and unique alphabet can be found in his novel "Seikai"-series and in anime based on his novels.
Language Sources	According to the site, it was derived from a "purified" Japanese (from which all non-Japanese words were intentionally removed; e.g., all Chinese-derived words), and then put through a rigorous sound and phonology change.
Interest Of Others	Yes. The language is part of a popular anime/novel series in Japan. The site listed is roughly equivalent to the KLI for Klingon. That is, it's a site by fans who want to converse in the language, but is not officially endorsed by the creator. In fact, the site is the token English part of a huge Japanese site. The dictionary itself is Baronh-Japanese. The language has a unique script. (I claim no part of the hard work that went into this site, nor in the language detailed therein.)
