About Srunizu
Srunizu is an ancient language preserved by the long-lived elves of my conworld. Many were still alive thousands of years ago, before their globe-spanning civilization collapsed. The youngest elves are barely the grandchildren of those who survived the Cataclysm, thus Srunizu is effectively a living proto-language still spoken with only minor variation by the various elf populations around the world.
