Languages of Yen

There are 3 main languages: YENNESE, TENNESE and OUMISM and each one of them are different but they've got many similarities depending on which side of the island the language is spoken, in poor words, the more the language is spoken close to another area the nearby language is spoken, the more these languages have similarities. This is making those 3 languages have more than 330 branches (averagely 110 each),, although these are mostly just inflection change dialects and they are mutually intelligibile between eachother.

YENNESE:

Yennese is the most spoken language on the island and has 109 branches. the most used branch one is the Onist Yenessen which was born in the south-east side of Yen and after years, it is now spoken all around the island.  

TENNESE:

Tennese is the youngest and second most spoken language in the island; it was created by delinquents and criminals so the lawmakers wouldn't understand them, but time by time it started to be used as a true language by a rich family that ruled the north east. So as a consequence, the population was forced to learn it as well or they couldn't work or buy food.  

OUOMISM:

Ouomism (also called ou'omszism by the natives) is the least used language. initially, it used to be a language that was reserved to people of high power and the aristocrats, but an aristocrat named J'ounz'en made his followers learn the language, and if they did, they'd get a part of his riches once he died; at the end more than 500 people got 5 Wounz'i (a lost currency used by aristocrats) each and the tradition continues until today where if your son learns ouomism, he'd get a small amount of money.
