Luminese

Luminese is a vaguely Slovak language, with many common phrases relating back to the fey in some capacity or another. Phrases like "Bet koroshem" and "Ne voros" are commonly used instead of "you're welcome", while "Prizney" is used in place of "thank you". This is supposedly to guard oneself against the trickier fey that might be lurking around.   It's said that the Luminese people learned their language from the fey, which may well be possible, but is yet to be proven by scholars. At the very least, it is clear there is a direct influence on their manner of speech. The language is designed to be both as direct and indirect as possible to allow the users to manipulate a phrase as they need. It is most certainly a language that requires great thought and care in phrasing if one wishes to get the correct point across.   It's said that this language is easy to learn, difficult to master, and impossible to perfect. Even those who grow up with the language can have difficulty with the various intricacies of phrasing. Outsiders learning Luminese are often considered to be like children in conversation, in constant need of guidance.

Writing System

The Luminese alphabet is comprised of flowing circular letters, several of which can look fairly similar to each other for those unfamiliar with it.

Geographical Distribution

While the language is mostly confined to Lumin, it can be fairly basically known in the countries bordering it such as Crecia and Yvesland.
