jenverrais

Jenverrais is a constructed language used in speculative fiction and tabletop worldbuilding. It is described as the native tongue of the fictional region of Jenverra and appears in several works and fan projects set in that setting. As a conlang, it is designed to be expressive, with features that allow subtle distinctions in mood, evidentiality, and aspect.

The name Jenverrais is a neologism created for worldbuilding purposes and does not correspond to any real language. Across sources, its etymology is presented variably, but commonly it is described as combining phonemes drawn from imagined language families to convey a sense of antiquity and openness to nuance.

Linguistically, Jenverrais is described as morphologically rich and agglutinative, with a system of noun cases, stem-based verb conjugations, and affixes that mark mood, aspect, and evidential stance. The phonology typically includes a five-vowel system and a moderate consonant inventory, with stress that tends to fall on the penultimate syllable. The language uses a syllabic or alphabetic script in-world, with transliterations commonly rendered in the Latin alphabet in fan texts.

In-world usage centers on diplomacy, poetry, and storytelling in Jenverra, and the language is actively explored by fans and worldbuilders who publish dictionaries, grammar notes, and phrasebooks. It serves as a focal point for discussions about conlangs, syntax, and script design.
