Engellendis

Engellendis is a fictional or constructed language designed to represent an angelic or celestial tongue within fantasy literature, games, and media. It is not a natural language and has no single canonical grammar or vocabulary; different authors and communities create their own variants.

Origin and classification: The term combines roots associated with angels in several European languages and is used in contemporary speculative fiction and role-playing circles to symbolize a sacred or otherworldly language. As a constructed language (conlang), its features are defined by creators rather than historical usage grounds.

Phonology and writing: Variously depicted with a melodic vowel inventory and aspirated consonants; scripts range from alphabetic to syllabaries or runic-like glyphs, often designed to look ancient or divine. Morphology can be analytic or agglutinative in different versions, with noun cases or verb inflections, depending on the author's needs.

Usage and reception: In practice, Engellendis serves as a worldbuilding device to convey sacredness, otherness, or distance in dialogue. It appears in novels, game guides, and fan-made dictionaries. Since there is no single canonical version, the language is often used as a creative prompt rather than a usable communication system.
