The Alirlan language (Lingua Alirlano) is a Superseleyan language derived from Selucian and the primary language of the Alirlans, it is also sometimes inaccurately referred to as the Alorian language. It uses the 26 character Selucian writing system with no accents, similar to Luthori.
History[]
The Alirlan language developed by the 12th century from Selucian in Western Krentori and Northern Sildar from the Selucian dialect spoken by the Selucians settlers of the colonies established on the north-western shores of Artania. The Alirlan language developed with the development of the Alirlan people as a distinct ethnic group.
Classification[]
Alorian is a Selucian language descended directly from Selucian, and similar to Canrillaise, Istalian and especially to the Egelian.
Geographic distribution[]
Alorian is spoken primarily in northern Sildar, and historically in western Krentori.
All these areas are referred to by some as "Alirlan Countries" (Alirlan: Campanias Alirlano), a denomination based on cultural affinity and common heritage, that have also had a subsequent political interpretation but no official status.
Number of Alorian speakers[]
About 2% of Alorians speak Alirlan as a first language
Dialects[]
There are two main dialects of Alorian: Western Krentorian and Sildarian.
Grammar[]
The first descriptive and normative grammar book of modern Alirlan was written by Pompeu Fabrosi in 1918. In 1995 a new grammar by Antoni M. Margarit was published, which also documents the Krentorian and Sildarian varieties.
The grammar of Alirlan mostly follows the general pattern of Western Selucian languages.
