About Cjaëan
Cjaëan (CJE: Kolassa Cjaé) is the language of Cjaë, a small concountry located in a temperate and mountainous area. Cjaëan is not modelled after any particular natlang, but does bear minor resemblance with Sanskrit, Japanese, the Celtic languages, and the Slavic languages. It is meant as a language isolate that could reasonably originate on the fringes of Europe, but without coming across as Standard Average European.
