EElish

EElish is a constructed language (conlang) created for a fictional multimedia setting. It functions as the indigenous tongue of the northern peoples and is used across novels, games, films, and related material within the project. The language was designed to support worldbuilding, providing distinct phonology, morphology, and a coherent writing system aligned with the society’s history and culture.

Phonology and writing: EElish has about 20 consonants and five vowel sounds, with occasional length contrasts. Syllables are typically CV or CVC, and stress is final. The native script, Eldhâr, is runic-inspired; in modern publications Latin script with diacritics is common.

Grammar: The language is analytic with agglutinative affixes. Standard word order is subject–object–verb (SOV). Nouns take suffixes to mark function, and adjectives usually modify nouns before them. Pronouns include inclusive and exclusive forms. Verbs show tense and aspect with affixes and auxiliary verbs; mood and voice use particles and affixes.

Usage and reception: A small but active community researches and expands EElish through dictionaries, grammars, and learner guides. Materials emphasize consistency with the world’s lore, and translations of key texts are produced by fans and creators. EElish is not a universal lingua franca but a tool for storytelling and fan engagement.
