Alhi language: Difference between revisions

'''Alhi''', specifically '''Modern Alhi''' is an Alhic language that evolved from [[Classical Alhi]]. It is spoken primarily in [[Alloti]] and [[Allotian overseas territories|its overseas territories]], with about 70 million native speakers, and about 100 million when including non-native speakers. Alhi was also once a language of high prestige in [[Cring]], as in [placeholder date], [[Historical Allotian control over Cring|Cring was controlled]] but not completely integrated into Alloti. Since then, Alhi slowly lost its presence in Cring.

Alhi is related to [[Kes language|Kes]], another Alhic language, spoken in central Alloti. Alhi's first texts can be traced back to [placeholder date], being written in Alhi's native script, [[Oulaj]]. Oulaj is still used to write Alhi today, and a variation of it is used to write Kes. [[Tova language|Tova]], another native language of Alloti (but unrelated to Alhi and Kes), was once written in Oulaj, but Tova's original script regained popular use and Oulaj's use to write Tova is purely historical.

As an Alhic language, around 95% of Alhi's modern vocabulary is derived from Classical Alhi, but the rest is from borrowings from Tova, Kes, [[Loremese language|Loremese]], [[Cring language|Cring]], and other languages.
