tagav

Tagav is a fictional language developed for speculative fiction and fan-created world-building materials. It is a constructed language (conlang) with its own grammar, lexicon, and writing system. In the source material, Tagav is described as an agglutinative language with a subject–object–verb word order, a noun case system, and verb affixes that convey tense, aspect, mood, and evidentiality. Pronouns are often bound to nouns to indicate possession and clusivity.

Phonology and orthography are described as modest but distinctive. The phoneme inventory typically includes vowels with length contrasts and a balanced set of consonants, sometimes featuring a glottal stop. The canonical writing system blends alphabetic and syllabic elements, creating a unique script that is used within the stories and referenced in companion materials. Fans and scholars also transliterate Tagav into the Latin script to facilitate study and discussion.

Usage and reception in the fictional universe and its fan communities emphasize Tagav as a tool for world-building and cultural depiction. While there is no single universally accepted standard, many resources describe a core set of features, and discussions about dialectal variation are common in wikis and linguistic analyses created by fans. Tagav serves as a focal point for linguistic exploration, creative writing, and collaborative storytelling, illustrating how language can enrich setting and character in speculative fiction.
