About Iynevonian
Iynevonian is a language spoken in the capital city of Iynevu /ⲀⲒⲚⲈѴⲨ́/Ainevu/ located in the continent of Tathion. The country's language is a descendant and a hybrid of the Ancient Egyptian language as well as the languages of the gypsies, Spanish and other isolated languages from the past. A majority of the grammatical structure of Iynevovian is of Ancient Egyptian stylized in a progressive and innovative way with sporadic vocabularies from all origins. There are several orthographies used to write Iynevonian but the most widely used and accepted is that of a combination of Coptic, Greek and Cyrillic letters combined to recreate the sounds of the language.
