About Sangui
Sangui (人𛄠言, sangyi sa, [səŋ'gʲi sa], literally "human language") or Yaroy (日イ言, yaroy sa, [ji'ɣoj sa], "language of the sun") is an isolate language spoken by the Yaroy ethnic group on the northern part of the Boreal Island, located in the North Pacific Ocean near Japan. Their language has various influences in its vocabulary, such as from Japanese and French. Most Yaroys are bilingual, they speak their native language and French.
Prior to the colonisation of the island by Europeans, the Yaroys lived a sedentary lifestyle in villages and small towns. They maintained relations with their southern neighbours, the Aylun tribes, who spoke an Austronesian language close to Marshallese, as well as with other peoples, such as the Japanese. The southern part of the Boreal Island was colonised by the Dutch in the early 17th century, but the territory was conquered by France in 1677 during the Franco-Dutch War. In the 18th century, France actively explored and colonised the northern part of the island. Despite the huge influx of colonists from western Europe, the Yaroy people were able to retain their language and identity, unlike the Ayluns. In 1792, during the French Revolution, Borealia declared its independence. After the establishment of the republic on the island, the new government continued to colonise the Yaroy territories, leading to the Yaroy Rebellion in 1820. This revolt led to the Treaty of Claseron, which gave some autonomy and rights to the Yaroys. During World War II, Japan attacked Borealia and seized some Yaroy territories, but they were later recaptured with American support. In 1946, the Borealian Civil War broke out, leading to the establishment of a new government that gave the Yaroys full rights and autonomy.
