About Zharkian
Zharkian is a language that formed on the northern island of the archipelago, amongst an ancient tribe who called themselves the Elark people. As they spread across the islands, the language evolved and began to reflect the changing lifestyle and beliefs of the ever-growing population. Zharkian can be identified by its many vowelless words, its use of animacy, and its arsenal of words and phrases derived from the old (yet still prevalent) mythology.
