anunuri

Anunuri is a fictional term used in world-building and speculative fiction to denote a hypothetical ethnic group, their language, and related cultural practices. It is not a reference to a real-world community, though it appears in various works as a customizable world-building element.

Etymology and naming: In most uses, Anunuri is treated as a proper noun for both people and language. Authors vary the origin of the name, sometimes tracing it to an imagined proto-language or to a cultural label created for narrative purposes.

Geography and society: Depictions place the anunuri in inland highland regions with terraced villages, forests, and rivers, occasionally in coastal towns. Society is usually clan-based with elder councils; craft guilds and river traders are common.

Language: The Anunuri language is described as agglutinative or polysynthetic, with evidential and aspect marks. Word order varies (SVO or SOV) across works, and some settings feature a hybrid script.

Culture: Cultural themes include oral storytelling, harvest rites, ancestor veneration, and forest stewardship. Artisans produce wood carvings, textiles, and boats.

History and portrayal: In narratives, origins trace to a legendary homeland, followed by migrations and trades; relationships with outsiders vary. Modern depictions emphasize resilience and stewardship.

Note: Anunuri is a fictional construct; details vary by author, and there is no canonical description.
