'''Sunteria''' (Standard Oikan: {{Ukilen|ia}}''Sunteria'' [sʊ̈nˈte̞.rjɐ]), officially the '''Republic of Sunteria''' (Standard Oikan: {{Ukilen|ie iau}}''Enhrežie Sunteriau'' [ənˈhre̞.ʒə sʊ̈nˈte̞.rjäu̯]), is a country in [[Ukilen]] and [[Brausia]]. It is bordered by [[Baphia]] to the north, [[Jkawi]] to the west, [[Azkali]] to the east, [[Cysteia]] to the south, and [[Ihoshar]] to the southeast''.'' It consists of 3 provinces ([[Hnerteroika]], [[Sunteroika]], and [[Kalilonde]]) and 1 territory (the [[Southwestern Territory]].)

== History ==
Sunteria was formed by the merger of Oika and Kalilonde on 26 February 1820 (Sunterian calendar: 19 Solmia 2946). Sunteria was a constitutional diarchy at first, but it became a parliamentary republic on 9 October 1932 (Sunterian calendar: 16 Huersmenia 3058) after its parliament voted to abolish its diarchy.

'''Muwag''' (''muwag es-ne'' [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA <nowiki>[mu.ʋˤɑg ɛs.n̪e]</nowiki>]) is an Ukilen language spoken in the country of [[Foi]]. It is [one of the?] the official language in Foi, and has approximately 16 million native speakers.

Being part of the Ukilen language family, it is related to [[Baphian language|Baphian]], [[Kzmr language|Kzmr]], [[Jkawi language|Jkawi]] and Kgokkonit. Muwag is arguably the most innovative language in the language family, having features that are not found elsewhere, like classifiers. Muwag has significantly changed both phonologically and grammatically.

Most vocabulary in Muwag is derived from [[Proto-Ukilen]], but many words have been taken from a substrate language called [[Pre-Muwag language|Pre-Muwag]]. There are also words from [[Loremese language|Loremese]].

== Name of the language and etymology ==
The name ''Muwag'' can be traced back to Proto-Ukilen, from a noun ''*mubawa'' 'water'. The inflection that the name is derived from is the inanimate genitive singular declension of ''*mubawa'', i.e. ''*mubawa-ga:ʒ''. This translates to 'of the water'.

Many native speakers of the language say that the reason why the name of the language is ''Muwag'' is because the speakers of the language have always been near water. This is the leading consensus among linguists and historians.

== History ==
Like other Ukilen languages, the Muwag language is a descendent of Proto-Ukilen. The language was brought to the territory of modern-day Foi by migration via boats. Due to this isolation from other Ukilen languages, the language developed without any Ukilen influences.

Based upon historic and lexical evidence, it is assumed that there was a language spoken before the Old Muwag speakers became predominant in the area of modern-day Foi. Historical linguists have given this unattested language the name of Pre-Muwag. The main evidence for the existence of this language is due to the presence of an initial /ʃ/ or /ʒ/ in many words.

Comparison with other Ukilen languages has made it easier to see words are from Proto-Ukilen or Pre-Muwag.
