Language Typefictional diachronic language
EditorialAn ancient language of Almea (the world Verduria is on), Wede:i is agglutinative, with no strict division into parts of speech, meaning a single Wede:i word can express quite a lot of English verbiage. Other unusual aspects, for a constructed language, include its logographic writing system and its base 6 number system. Finally, it fits into the history of Almea; its writing system became that of Axunashin, a distant relative of Verdurian, when the speakers of Axunashin conquered the Xengi valley; their language was also influenced phonologically and lexically by Wede:i. The lexicon lists over 600 words, with etymologies; a grammar, sample texts and description of the writing system are available.
UniquenessWede:i is an ancient language of Almea (the world Verduria is on). It's agglutinative, with no strict division into parts of speech; I particularly like the way a single Wede:i word can express quite a lot of English verbiage. It also has a logographic writing system, which I think is a territory not many conlangs venture into. I also like the base 6 number system. Finally, it fits into the history of Almea; its writing system became that of Axunashin, a distant relative of Verdurian, when the speakers of Axunashin conquered the Xengi valley; their language was also influenced phonologically and lexically by Wede:i.
Language SourcesQuechua. Terrestrial agglutinating languages, for the grammar. Some lexical items are tributes to terrestrial languages as well.
