Its administrative centre is the town of [[Eres]].<br /> <br /> ==Geography==<br /> The Delves are centred on a narrow chain of hills protruding north-easterly from the Harking Hills and forming their northernmost limit. The area is markedly rocky compared to the better part of the Harkings and dominated by five tin mines. The [[Palestown|palestown]] of Eres is situated to the east of the district at the southern terminus of the [[Lécaronian Imperial Roads#Niom III Aran|Niom Aran]], forming the area's administrative and commercial centre.<br /> <br /> ===Minor Settlements===<br /> Beside Eres, The Delves comprise the following settlements:<br /> * Deep Scoring, a mining village north-west of Eres.<br /> * Little Eres, a hamlet to the south-west of the town, upon the edge of the Hills of Eres. A gathering place to shepherds and pathfinders, it is a common last stop for those travelling into the Harking Hills.<br /> * Merun, a mining camp to the west of Eres.<br /> * Wright’s Corner, a market village on the western slope of the Delves, near the [[Pale of Desmor]].<br /> <br /> ==History and Economy==<br /> The area of the Delves has seen constant habitation since at least the spread of the [[Brethanian Olgs]], possibly even the migrations of the [[Noldorinians]]. Rich tin deposits were soon discovered in the rocky hills, and the mines of the Delves were a significant source of tin during the earliest days of Olgish metallurgy.<br /> <br /> Mining remains the predominant industry in the Imperial Era, beside, to a lesser degree, animal husbandry and hunting in the northern parts of the Harkings. Due to its location at the southern end of the [[Lécaronian Imperial Roads#Niom III Aran|Niom Aran]], the district is the most accessible part of the Harking Hills and often the first point of entry for travellers from afield.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Pales]][[Category: Belkondilian Geography]]</div>

<p>Michaelmgoessler: </p> <hr /> <div>The '''Folkmoor''' is one of the three principal wetland valley within the [[Harking Hills]], beside the [[Elmoor]] and the [[Harkmoor]].<br /> <br /> ==Etymology==<br /> The element ''folk-'' is likely a folk-etymological alteration of Olgish ''folkin'' ‘sorcerer’, relating to an association of the desolate area with arcane magics as also evident in the name of the [[Sorcerer’s Climb]]. The designation as a ''moor'' follows the in the Harkings common practice of applying this label to inaccessible areas of uncultivated land irrespective of whether it includes actual moorland.<br /> <br /> ==Geography and Ecology==<br /> The southernmost of the three moors, it is located between the [[Paling Downs]] and the hill chain formed by the [[Sorcerer’s Climb]], [[Hammin Tor]], and the [[Brimstone Sickle]], in relative proximity to the pales of [[Pale of Múris|Múris]] and [[Pale of Bennor|Cas Bennor]].<br /> <br /> Like the Elmoor and the Harkmoor, it forms a largely impassable bog flat, albeit with an even more forbidding reputation. This is possibly aided by the abundance of sulphur springs along its southern boundary and the presence of various wild animals, included deer and wolves and occasionally bears and dragons, and carrying varying associations with devils, hidden magic, and hermit sorcerers. Largely avoided by the local population, it forms a refuge for wildlife even within the relatively untouched Harking Hills.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Plains and Marshes]][[Category:Belkondilian Geography]]</div>

<p>Michaelmgoessler: </p> <hr /> <div>The '''Harkmoor''' is the centremost of the three principal wetland valleys within the [[Harking Hills]], beside the [[Elmoor]] and the [[Folkmoor]].<br /> <br /> ==Etymology==<br /> The element ''hark-'' likely derives from Old Olgish ''húring'', Middle Olgish ''húrik'' ‘wild, untamed’, reinterpreted by folk etymology (see also [[Harking Hills#Name and Etymology|Name of the Harking Hills]]). The designation as a ''moor'' follows the in the Harkings common practice of applying this label to inaccessible areas of uncultivated land irrespective of whether it includes actual moorland.<br /> <br /> ==Geography and Ecology==<br /> Located between [[Mt. Nimmberg]] and the [[Paling Downs]], it forms a relatively hard to traverse bog at the heart of the Harking Hills. While drier and less perilous than the Elmoor, it offers only sparse game and few other resources, and even local rangers rarely descend into the Harkmoor. Its most striking feature is '''Hark’s Tomb''', a dolmen of forgotten provenance sitting upon a knoll on its eastern fringe.<br /> [[Category:Plains and Marshes]][[Category:Belkondilian Geography]]</div>

<p>Michaelmgoessler: /* Niom III Aran */</p> <hr /> <div>The '''Lécaronian Imperials Roads''' were a system of 24 roads laid out across the [[Lécaronian Empire]], serving as the backbone of the Empire’s transport and information system.<br /> ==Purpose and Layout==<br /> Built on behest of emperors or local administrators, the roads were usually built on older routes or roads used by the local population for centuries (with the notable exception of the Niom Tárakin). Officially termed ''Caron-Nioma'' ‘roads of the empire’, they were maintained directly by the provincial governments, who ensured a constantly high quality of fabric, at least up until the [[Fall of Lécaron|last decades of the Empire]], but offered by far not the only travel routes, competing with numerous smaller roads and pathways maintained either by the local population or tread out through constant usage.<br /> <br /> Imperial roads were consistently built in cobblestone between one-half and four [[Units of Measurement#Distance|Elôreni]] wide, with milestones every twelfth of an [[Units of Measurement#Distance|Olgish League]], marking an [[Units of Measurement#Distance|Olgish Hour]] (a distance of ~3.25km or 2.02 mi, twelve of which could on average be travelled in a single day).<br /> ==History and Road System==<br /> ===Initial Construction Phase===<br /> The first ‘imperial’ roads were built by the third emperor, [[Eldebrin Ginetar|Eldebrin I]], between 92 and 135 L.R., mostly on existing road systems in the eight original provinces of Lécaron, [[Belkondíl]], [[Geran]], the [[Lécaronian Reknaya|Olgish Reknaya]], [[Ukkar (Lécaronian Province)|Ukkar]], [[Olgish Seligon]], [[Armundia]], [[Oshale (Lécaronian Province)|Oshale]], and the [[North-Western Colonies]]. Intended to strengthen the coherence of his empire, Eldebrin’s road system proved crucial to the success of the early emperors in consolidating their power over the young empire and was part of the origin for this epithet Ginetar ‘the constructor’.<br /> ====Niom I Alôr====<br /> Along the old [[Cëlac Road]], from [[Gëlenem]] via [[Soskilón]] to [[Lágon]], following the course of the [[Cëlac]]. Later extended southward to [[Mor Nostim]] and [[Corbin (City)|Corbin]] and northward to incorporate the [[Black Road]] to [[Dermon]]. Named ''Niom Alôr'' ‘old road’ for its history, dating back to at least the early Bronze Age.<br /> ====Niom II Sidrin====<br /> Splitting off the Niom Alôr at [[Tinnas]], leading eastward along the southern rim of the [[Edhennín]] and meeting the Niom Grálin at [[Iliston]]. Named ''Sidrin'' ‘wavy’ for its broadly meandering shape through the unsteady hills of southern [[Gërrun]].<br /> ====Niom III Aran====<br /> From [[Eres]] by the [[Harking Hills]] north to [[Narn Aran]] following what was once the [[Old Aran Road]], there splitting into an eastern route, '''Aran Nelin''', crossing the [[Olgish Highlands]] to [[Soskilón]], and a northern route, '''Aran Turin''', to [[Talis]] and [[Belkison]]. Named ''Aran'' ‘crossroads’ for both its inclusion of the city of Narn Aran and the literal splitting of the route into two parts.<br /> <br /> ====Niom IV Grálin====<br /> Splitting off the Niom Alôr in the [[Rouningwood]] south of the [[Jeskíl-Sröjk]], leading past the [[Rally Idle]] to [[Singrall]] and meeting the Niom Sidrin in Iliston. Named ''Grálin'' for its inclusion of Singrall (Olg. ''Senongrál'')<br /> ====Niom V Hajar====<br /> From Belkison north past [[Darinsford]], [[Cas Dárin]], [[Ahtar]], [[Bernab]], and [[Unrír]] to [[Antarea]], notably excluding the [[Fords of Unrír]]. Named ''Hajar'' for its location in the [[Hajalad]] region of [[Geran]] (meaning ‘wealthy coast’ or ‘emminent coast’), partially teasing the local burghers by denominating it as ''hajar'' ‘more emminent’, implying pre-Lécaronian roads had been of low quality.<br /> ====Niom VI Bálin====<br /> Eastward from Bernab, through the [[Gap of Hajalad]] at [[Invarydd]] and along the [[Five Ring Cities of Geran]] to [[Kalpattu]], with a short side branch south of [[Aeros]] connecting it to the Niom Alôr in Dermon. Named ''Niom Bálin'' ‘moon road’ for its crescent shape.<br /> ====Niom VII Dejnar====<br /> Connecting Lágon and [[Mindeló]] via [[Lenkwele]], later amended with a second road southward from Lenkwele to [[Stratton]], [[Charlesford]], and [[Oldhill]]. Named ''Dejnar'' ‘golden’ for its route to Mindeló, a city renowned for its gold mines.<br /> ====Niom VIII Kámel====<br /> A short and low-trafficable stretch of road connecting Dermon and Mindeló via the [[Pass of Wat]]. Named ''Kámel'' ‘waste’ for its traversing the mostly barren landscape above the [[Desert of Wat]].<br /> ====Niom IX Seligonin====<br /> Connecting to [[Iilish people|Iilish]] roads in [[Amasia]], leading south from [[Iilmildarn]] via [[Ramsborough]], [[Mestingham]], [[Carrborough]] and [[Mt. Kalash]] to [[Urwín]]. Named ''Seligonin'' ‘Seligonian’ for its crossing the entirety of western [[Seligon]].<br /> ====Niom X Armundi====<br /> From [[Serdon]] north via [[Spervingham]] and [[Mansborough]] to [[Akesh]], with sideward connections to [[Nikida]], [[Dannach]] and [[Lukoka]], [[Canheloc]], and [[Carandol]]. Named ''Armundi'' ‘Armundians’ for its location in the [[Armundic Valley]].<br /> ====Niom XI Ukkar====<br /> From Akesh southwest to Carandol and Mestingham, overlapping with the Niom Seligonin for a short length before turning south to [[Earham]] and into [[Ochre’s Riding]], passing [[Cragston]] and [[Severn]] before reaching [[Riddam]] and [[Tinaris]] in [[Whitland]] and meeting the Niom Seligonin in Urwín. Named ''Ukkar'' for its crossing the ancient [[Ukkar|landscape of the same name]].<br /> ====Niom XII Adhíris====<br /> Branching off the Niom Seligonin west of Mt. Kalash, via [[Vasron]], [[Ochresburgh]], and Cragston into the [[Dasmil Basin|Dasmil]], meeting the Niom Seligonin west of [[Peckburgh]]. Named ''Adhíris'' ‘weed’ for its route along the swamplands north of [[Lejanok]].<br /> ====Nioma XIII Olgi====<br /> System of two parallel roads crossing the [[Belkondic Field]], one from [[Raven]] westward via [[Odestown]] to [[Parsan]] in Amasia, the other connecting [[Heston]] and Odestown, with an extension along an old [[Hyatti people|Hyatti]] road into the [[Mlisdin]]. Named ''Olgi'' for the region’s strong [[Olgish people|Olgish]] nationalist sentiment and connection with [[Belkondíl]].<br /> ====Niom XIV Dáronin====<br /> Main road of the [[North-Western Colonies|Colonies]], from the northern end of the Niom Bálin in Kalpattu via [[Iallantu]] and [[Ipanea]], the [[Marsh of Adarind]], and [[Vanúri]] north into [[Arsaparin]], passing [[Beledoc]] and [[Ærind]] before descending into the [[Marsh of Arsaparin]] at [[Sund]], then via [[Eldarind]] to [[Dáron]]. Named ''Dáronin'' for its destination at the city of Dáron.<br /> ====Niom XV Ennad====<br /> From [[Ennad]] eastward, intersecting the Niom Dáronin at Vanúri, to [[Obakan]], crossing the [[Belsemma]] at the [[Red Pass]], the south to [[Elendis]], [[Arantor]], and [[Edhen]], meeting the Niom Dáronin between Ipanea and Iallantu. Named for its point of origin.<br /> ====Niom XVI Kalpari====<br /> From [[Nartu]] through Ennad north to [[Ilonia]]. Named for its location in ancient [[Kalparians|Kalparian]] territory.<br /> ====Niom XVII Oshale====<br /> From Kalpattu eastward through the [[Kalpa|Kalpa Valley]], along the [[Five Fords of the Kalpa]], and north to [[Lemori]], meeting the Niom Ennad between Lemori and Arantor. Named for its location in the region of [[Oshale]].<br /> ====Nioma XVIII Assal====<br /> A system of two intersecting roads, one from [[Éres]] to [[Dejnon]], the other from [[Cerr]] to [[Gælasimb]], overlapping between [[Hauron]] and Beledoc. Named for the x-shape of the [[Aribelian Alphabet|Aribelian letter]] ''Assal'' (/s/).<br /> ===Later Constructions===<br /> As the Empire grew, later rulers would complement the old road system with newer routes, partially to connect newly added provinces to the heartland of the Empire, partially to improve accessibility of areas already under Lécaronian rule.<br /> ====Niom XIX Aula====<br /> An umbrella term for all road constructions in [[Old Seligon]] after [[Lécaronian Conquest of Old Seligon|its conquest]] in 317 L.R., mostly following existing Iilish roads with little additional work required. From [[Lonskilón|Mebetgar/Loskilón]] northward along the [[Sevnail]], splitting north of [[Kirin]], with a short western route leading to [[Kurec]] and a longer eastern one through the [[Gap of Songilec]] into Amasia; sometimes, the road is considered to extend all the way through Amasia to Parsan, where it meets the Niom Olgi. Smaller side connections lead to [[Dria]], [[Bron]], and [[Panaris]]. Named ''Aula'' ‘waters’ after the Iiles’ traditional connection with the element water.<br /> ====Niom XX Gëlin====<br /> From [[Tëlon]] eastward to [[Tansington]] and further into [[Northern Feldin|Northern Feldic]] territory, with several side routes reaching [[Fengsport]], [[Jonsport]], [[Allensburgh]], and [[Timburgh]]. Constructed in 402/403 L.R. under emperor [[Dírian III (Lécaron)]] along with the Niom Kôris on old Hyatti road systems to improve transport in the newly created province of [[Timburgh (Lécaronian Province)|Timburgh]]. Named ''Gëlin'' ‘by the shores’ for its location on the seaside of Timburgh, in contrast with the inland Niom Kôris.<br /> ====Niom XXI Kôris====<br /> From Raven eastward, passing [[Helling]] and [[Eston]] and meeting the Niom Gëllin in Tansington. onstructed in 402/403 L.R. under emperor Dírian III along with the Niom Gëlin on old Hyatti road systems to improve transport in the newly created province of Timburgh. Named ''Kôris'' ‘wilderland, open land’ for its location on the inland side of Timburgh, in contrast with the seaside Niom Gëlin.<br /> ====Niom XXII Nostim====<br /> Constructed 432 L.R. under governor [[William V (Lécaronian Reknaya)]] of the Olgish Reknaya to improve the link to the more remote areas of the western Reknaya and the [[Mountains of Mōrya]] on the northern side of the Reknayan main ridge, now laid claim to. Route from Dermon via [[Parka]] and [[Uri-Téris]] past the [[Oshal Falls]], crossing the mountains at the [[Pass of Katna]] and proceeding further east to [[Tur Nostim]], meeting [[Dārǫ Mōrya|Mōryan Celdic]] roads, and [[Casgan]]. Named ''Nostim'' ‘watcher’ for its primary purpose as a supply route for Lécaronian troops station along the [[Western Celsondach|Celdic]] border.<br /> ====Nioma XXIII Nelin====<br /> System of three roads constructed 510‒514 L.R. under empress mother [[Désala]] to connect the far-flung [[Eastern Seligon (Lécaronian Province|Eastern Seligon]] to the rest of her empire. The first from Spervingham eastward, crossing the [[Gap of Urukash]] and further south along the western rim of [[Iliatar]] to [[Olksûr]], the second splitting off north of Iliatar, leading east to [[Sildín]], the third splitting off from the second and leading north into the [[Valley of Newessa]], reaching [[Ǧima Yawa]], [[Tomewa]], and [[Wida Dowa]]. Named ''Nioma Nelin'' ‘roads of the east’ for their crucial role in the eastward expansion of the empire.<br /> ====Niom XXIV Tárakin====<br /> Constructed hastily after the [[Battle of the Weeping Plain]]s in 687 to faciliate troop movements into [[Atrissar]] during the [[Geranian War]]. Branching off the Niom Alôr at [[Fádá]] and crossing the [[Plain of Ortûlék]] westward before meeting the Niom Aran Turin at Talis. Named ''Niom Tárakin'' ‘road of war’ for its military purpose.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Lécaron]][[Category:Roads]]</div>

<p>Michaelmgoessler: </p> <hr /> <div>The '''Old Aran Road''' (Olg. ''Niomalôr Aranin'') was a trackway connecting the towns of [[Eres]] and [[Narn Aran]] in [[Orinion]]. Known by this name since at last the early [[High Kingdom]] but possibly used since the earliest settlement of the [[Harking Hills]] in Olgish prehistory, it was a major trade line facilitating the movement of ores and equipment between the mining operations of the [[The Delves|Delves]] and the wider [[Kingdom of Belkondíl]].

Michaelmgoessler https://seligon.conlang.org/index.php?title=Ethnographic_Outline&diff=1071 Ethnographic Outline 2026-05-09T09:40:17Z

<p>Michaelmgoessler: /* Ortûlékians */</p> <hr /> <div>This '''Ethnographic Outline''' gives a brief overview of all major ethnicities and societies of [[Elondor]] designed as a point of entry to those not familiar with its landscape of nations. The article is organized by primary [[Languages|ethnolinguistic]] groups, giving general information before proceeding to a listing of subgroups. Not that this is not an exhaustive list, but merely meant to introduce the reader to the most important ethnic groups and their characteristics. More detailed accounts can be found the respective main articles, which are linked throughout.<br /> ==Ortûlékians==<br /> : ''Main Article: [[Ortûlékian peoples]]''<br /> <br /> The Ortûlékians have their origin in the cold and rainy plains of [[Belkondíl]], but they do not easily remain in one place and can now be found in nearly every corner of Elondor; and that, upon their tendency towards conquests and massacres, mostly in powerful positions. Initially living in a clan-based and largely genderless society, their different ethnicities’ cultures and languages have diverted wide over the millennia, adopting many of the traditions of their host countries as well as conceiving of their own innovations. <br /> <br /> Traditionally, the Ortûlékians are split into three subgroups, the [[Géni|Genians]] ([[Aribelians]] and [[Celdic peoples|Celsondach]]), the [[Olgish peoples|Olgs]], and the [[Auls]] (one of the groups ancestral to the [[Iiles]]).<br /> ===Olgs===<br /> : ''Main Article: [[Olgish peoples]]''<br /> <br /> The Olgs might be the most famous of all Elondorian peoples. Their name originally meant ‘the crafty ones’, but this reading has long passed into the obsolete. The first to practice metallurgy, they were initially simple craftspeople under the rule of their Genian and [[Soskish peoples|Soskish]] neighbours before reaching for power and gaining it by violent means. They bring not only Belkondíl under their control but also nearly every other corner of Elondor, eventually drawing together all of their dominions in the [[Lécaronian Empire]].<br /> <br /> Their traditional culture was built on three pillars, the horse (a borrowing from the Sosks), cattle, and warfare, and their society organized in clans, each living in an assigned county. A [[King of Belkondíl|High King or Queen]] could rule over all Olgs, but many claims are made to this title and few are successful. Gender plays almost no role in their society, and men and women are considered equals. [[Olgish religion|Their religion]] has a strong disposition for eschatology, seeing an asymmetric and imperfect world. They know seven deities, which they believe were the servants of Titans who only survived the great cataclysm that ended the [[Last Age|previous incarnation of the world]] because they had been banished for treason. They are known to have the palest skin and the reddest hair of all nations in Elondor.<br /> <br /> Many of these things change as the Olgs disperse into the world; what remains common to almost all of them is a warlike unsteadiness and a tendency towards bloodshed. The Olgs of Belkondíl, who mostly live by their old traditions (many of which have, however, been altered significantly under the influence of [[Seligonian Fashions]]), can be divided into two groups, the [[Cëlacian Olgs|Cëlacians]], or Olgs proper, who live on the heaths and in the highlands of the continent and, along with the rest of the world, have adopted the [[Soskish language]] (the language of the Empire), and the [[Brethanian Olgs|Brethanians]], who remain on the remote western coasts and the [[Marin|Mairn archipelago]]. Fierce mariners and fishermen, they speak their own language, [[Brethanian Olgish language|Brethanian Olgish]].<br /> <br /> The [[Wertians]] live to the north of Belkondíl, in the [[Ilathw Valley]] and the [[Geranian Heath]]. They are known as particularly fearless riders, and their language, [[Wertian language|Wertian]], for its pleasing sound. The second Olgish group of [[Geran]], the [[Hajan Olgs]], live in the [[Hajalad]], the rich strip of coast between [[Dárinsford]] and [[Antarea]], and on the [[Norides|Norides island chain]]. They are renowned for their commercial prowess and their obscure dialect (which they have mostly given up in favour of Soskish). The Olgs of the [[Northwestern Colonies|colonies]] are a group only in geographical terms. A region of great diversity between Olgs, [[Kalparians]], and [[Aribelians]], culture and society vary greatly from one place to another, merely sharing the fact that the rest of Elondor unanimously considers them uncultured.<br /> <br /> The Olgs of the [[Reknaya|mountains]] are not unlike those of Belkondíl, but many have traded cattle for pickaxe, and their steel is renowned far beyond their borders. So are their superstitions, and their choral music. [[Seligon]], much like colonies, is a place of great diversity, and no true ‘Seligonian Olgish’ group exists. Most identify merely as Olgs, or as [[Seligonian Creoles|Creoles]] if they descend from both Olgish and [[Seligonian peoples|Seligonian]] ancestors, as is the case for most. They are closest to the Sosks of all Olgish groups, adopting their language long before [[Ésôrin the Wise#Soskish Edict|mandated by the Empire]]. Known for their high arts and culture (a borrowing from the Seligonians), they wield great social respect in the later days of the Empire.<br /> ===Aribelians===<br /> : ''Main Article: [[Aribelians]]''<br /> The Aribelians are, to most, among the more enigmatic nations. Descended from the Genians, they settled in the northwestern corner of Elondor, [[Aribel|now named after them]], and decided to dedicate their identity to the pursuit of knowledge and reason. Discarding they gods and founding the great [[Academy of Berán]], they became known as curious and wise, great scientists, merchants, [[On the Aribelian Philosphers|and particularly philosophers]], self-centred chauvinists, elitists and unrepentant racists. With all their curiosity, they are said to have little respect for things they do not understand, and they are naturally contentious even about those they do understand.<br /> <br /> Their state goes through multiple incarnations from kingdom to republic back to kingdom, and so forth, before their critical engagement against the Olgs in the [[Aribelian Wars]], after which most of their lands are lost and turned into the colonies. Their society is stratified into the working and the academic classes, although a certain social mobility is given. Aribelians are known to dress in long light-coloured robes; blond hair is particularly common among them. The higher classes in Aribel speak [[High Aribelian language|High Aribelian]] (a language notoriously hard to learn), while the lower classes as well as most merchants use a more progressive variant of the Aribelian language, [[Vulgar Aribelian]].<br /> ===Celdic Tribes===<br /> The Celdic Tribes, or Celsondach, as they are (somewhat pejoratively) known to many, are distant cousins of the Aribelians (both are said to descend from the Genians), but they bear little resembles to each other. The Celdic peoples inhabit the plains and forests of southern Celsond, a cold and unforgiving land north of the Reknayan mountains, and one of a few areas never under the sway of Lécaron. They vaguely fall into two groups: The Western Celsondach, proud riders occupying the Celdic Steppes and the direct neighbours (and archenemies) of the Aribelians, living lives centred on warfare, honour, and trade; and the Eastern Celsondach, who dwell in the more fertile and forested east of Celsond, living in harmony with nature and rarely engaging with the matters of the world beyond their borders, except for their easternmost tribes, who gained great wealth in the trade with Seligon and became allies of Lécaron.<br /> <br /> ==Iiles==<br /> If the Olgs are the most famous of Elondor’s nations, the Iiles are their closest competitors for the title. Born from an alliance of Auls, Amasians, and Sosks, the Iiles have their homeland on the marshy shores and rocky islands of the Gulf of Seligon, and they are known for their prowess as seafarers, explorers, and maritime traders, occupying all of the Gulf and the lands of Moreth and Amasia, and for a short time even commanding their own empire. Archfrenemy of the Olgs, their are known for their national pride and stubbornness, and above all their unwillingness to submit to foreign rulers.<br /> <br /> Their language is an amalgamation of Aulish, Soskish, and several Avalian languages, written in the Iilish abugida, a descendant of the Old Besokian script. They are known to be tall, dark-haired but often light-eyed, and have a prominent epicanthic fold, presumably due to their Amasian ancestry.<br /> ==Besokians==<br /> As their name suggests, the Besokians have their origin along the Besokan river. An inquisitive and mystic people, they were early explorers of Old Seligon and the Reknaya and among the first to experiment with metals; but first and foremost, they were the first to farm grain on the fertile slopes of the lower Besokan Valley, and possibly the first to devise a writing system for their language. Dispersed almost as widely as the Ortûlékians, few Besokian ethnicities remain visible in Lécaronian society, but their inventions and insights have left an inextinguishable mark on Elondor.<br /> <br /> They are said to be shorter and stockier than Ortûlékians, with light skin, heavy black hair, and light eyes, and generally presumed closely related to the Andrians and Yenmians.<br /> ===Sosks===<br /> The most prominent of Besokian groups are undoubtably the Sosks. Dwelling in the plains of Oakshire and Moreth, they were the first to domesticate the horse and use the power thus obtained to explore and conquer. The foundation of several kingdoms in Belkondíl brought them in touch with the Olgs, initially their servants, later their enemies, their allies, and finally their rulers. They become the constant companions of the Olgs in every enterprise, their cavalry feared, their epic poetry famed, but never fully integrate into Olgish society, remaining a separate nation with a separate language.<br /> <br /> They also never gain the full approval of their Olgish overlords, who are suspicious of the still-foreign and powerful riders, and although Sosks make up a large part of the population in virtually all Olgish-conquered countries, they constantly battle ostracism and hostility, and even occasional pogroms. Nonetheless, they stand their ground and remain a significant minority in almost every part of Elondor (and a majority in others). Their role as military, diplomatic, and commercial force preceding all Olgish migrations grants their language a position as universal ''lingua franca'' in all of Elondor until it is declared the official language of Lécaron in 540 L.R. by Emperor Ésôrin the Wise.<br /> <br /> They are said to be gifted in trade and commerce more than any other nation of Elondor, and many Sosks earn a livelihood as travelling merchants. They are likewise known for their great poetry, music, and theatre.<br /> ===Kattasians===<br /> The Kattasians were once the largest of the Besokian peoples. They migrated west across the Reknayan mountains, founding many petty kingdoms beside the earlier Antarian inhabitants. Much of these early societies is lost in the later Olgish migrations into the Reknaya, but much of their culture is absorbed into that of the later Reknayan Olgs. One group, however, pushes further east, into the Geranian Heath, conquering the holy Kalparian city of Iamenna and from there much of Geran. The Yamenaens, and their Empire of Yamenna, will be a major force in the Bronze Age of Geran and Belkondíl and is the traditional archenemy of the classical Olgish heroes. The empire persists until the late Bronze Age, when it is overrun by the Wertians. Only few Kattasian groups remain, among them the Parkans and Wattites.<br /> <br /> The Kattasians are known for their metalworking, relentlessness, warfare, and curiosity, possibly an important influence in the development of early Aribelian culture.<br /> ===Reknayans===<br /> The Reknayans might be the most enigmatic of the Besokian peoples. They never travel very far from home, remaining in the Besokan Valley and its immediate surroundings. They are devoted to the soil that grows their rye, the sky that holds up their world, and their ancient mystic traditions. Their cult spans many monasteries in well-hidden mountain valleys, and they maintain an unbroken record of both secular and religious writings. One of the three major ethnicities of the free Reknaya, they rarely leave the safety of their home valleys, remaining reclusive and a mystery to most.<br /> ==Andaro-Yenmic peoples==<br /> The Andarians and Yenmians are often seen as close relatives to the Besokians. They also originate from the mountains, resemble them in looks, and have a similar disposition for far and wide migrations. But throughout their history they have shown less the yearning for greatness and accomplishment and more that for a simple and satisfied life. That said, the Andaro-Yenmic peoples are as diverse as they are widespread, including mountain farmers as much as merchants, foragers, and fierce mariners.<br /> ===Andarians===<br /> The Andarian peoples originate around Mt. Andaron, whence they migrate west, anticipating a route that will much later be taken by the Kattasians. Some of them remain in the valleys of the western Reknaya alongside Kattasians and Olgs, others descend into Geran, settling in the Geranian Heath and later by the shores of the sea and in the fertile Kalpa Valley. These people will be known as the Hayans and, of course, the Kalparians, famous for their seafaring, their mountain goats, and their unwillingness to submit to anyone not of their own people (and most that would have been of their own people). The Hayans are mostly subdued by the Olgs, but the Kalparians fiercely stand their ground, rebelling against the Lécaronian Empire on multiple occasions and consistently refusing to give up their language.<br /> ===Yenmians===<br /> If the Reknayans are enigmatic, the Yenmians are outright mysterious. Once a dominant and powerful force in the eastern Reknaya, they have entirely removed themselves from the mountains. The only remaining Yenmian group lives far off, and largely out of contact with, the rest of Elondor. They are the Erenic tribes, foragers of the extreme north of Celsond, peaceful but reclusive, and fierce when threaten to the point where they even brought the aggressive expansion of the Celsondach to a halt.<br /> ==Seligonians==<br /> ===Armundians===<br /> ===Hakessians===<br /> ===Ruldôrians===<br /> ===Hyattians===<br /> ===‘Iru Ni‘i===<br /> <br /> ==Nokimi==<br /> ===Iliatarians===<br /> ===Lerewe===<br /> ===Eskarians===<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Avalians==<br /> ===Dasmilians===<br /> ===Amasians===<br /> ===Ukkari===</div>

Middle Olgish conditional construction.<br /> <blockquote>''Ním ilisek kéla ahandärnek nauko.''<br />‘If all were well, I would be polite with you.’</blockquote><br /> The condition is presented first, without a conjunction but the predicate in the subjunctive mood: ''ním ilisek'' ‘things would [be] good’.<br /> <br /> This is followed by the conditioned action, equally in the subjunctive but introduced by ''kéla'' ‘then, therefore’, one of the few Olgish conjunctions: ''kéla ahandärnek nauko'' ‘I would speak politely with you’.<br /> <br /> ===Morphological soft selection===<br /> A hallmark feature of all [[Ortûlékian languages]], affixes in Middle Olgish show a great deal of flexibility with regards to the syntactic class of the host they attach to, moving fairly freely between nouns, verbs, and adjectives, and more rarely even pronouns and particles. This ‘soft’ host selection is very common and appears in multiple instances in the text above:<br /> * '''ilisek''' ‘it would be good’ ← ''ilis'' {{sc|adj}} ‘good’ + ''-ek'' (singular subjunctive ending)<br /> * '''elikún''' ‘so many different options’ ← ''elik'' {{sc|n}} ‘alternative, choice’ + ''-ún'' (superlative suffix)<br /> * '''gissún''' ‘full of’ ← ''gis'' {{sc|prep}} ‘with’ + ''-ún'' (superlative suffix)<br /> <br /> ===The definite article===<br /> The definite article ''terg'', obligatory in [[Saint Fádin|Fádin’s]] [[Liturgical Middle Olgish|Liturgical Olgish]], is used only sparingly in Middle Olgish, expressing a stronger sense of definiteness, and is in many instances subject to elision and cliticization, attaching either to the following noun or, more commonly, a preceding preposition.<br /> <br /> The above text contains only three definite articles, two serving a demonstrative function and one used in a possessive construction with a pronoun:<br /> <br /> *'''''duat’ hern''''' ‘at home’ ← ''dua terg hern'' lit. ‘at the house’ <br /><br /> This expression uses {{sc|def}} to refer to a specific ''hern'' ‘house’, implied to be the speaker’s home. The article is elided and cliticized, attaching to the preposition ''dua'' ‘in, at’.<br /> *'''''duat’ lárnur''''' ‘tonight’ ← ''dua terg lárnur'' lit. ‘in this evening’ <br /><br /> Similarly, here {{sc|def}} is used to single out the ''lárnur'' ‘evening’ given as the hodiernal one. Again, ''terg'' is elided and attaches to ''dua''.<br /> *'''''terg túrada''''' ‘their ({{sc|sg}}) mother’ ← ''terg túra-da''<br /><br /> The third example marked differs from the previous two. Here, instead of a bare noun, {{sc|def}} is associated with a possessive construction, and its presence is due to grammatical obligation rather than semantic nuance. Unlike in Liturgical Olgish, where pronouns functioning as possessors attach to the left of their possession, forming the equivalent of a right-headed possessive compound (so ''terg de-túnor'' ‘({{sc|def}}) your protection’), by the Middle Olgish period, possessively functioning pronouns attach to the right of the possessed noun; as in Liturgical Olgish, although the construction is (semantically) inherently definite, it is obligatorily preceded by the definite article. Uniquely in the text above, this instance of ''terg'' is not elided but realized in full.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Grammar Discussions]][[Category:Out-of-Universe]]</div>

This ‘soft’ host selection is very common and appears in multiple instances in the text above:<br /> * '''ilisek''' ‘it would be good’ ← ''ilis'' {{sc|adj}} ‘good’ + ''-ek'' (singular subjunctive ending)<br /> * '''elikún''' ‘so many different options’ ← ''elik'' {{sc|n}} ‘alternative, choice’ + ''-ún'' (superlative suffix)<br /> * '''gissún''' ‘full of’ ← ''gis'' {{sc|prep}} ‘with’ + ''-ún'' (superlative suffix)<br /> <br /> ===The definite article===<br /> The definite article ''terg'', obligatory in [[Saint Fádin|Fádin’s]] [[Liturgical Middle Olgish|Liturgical Olgish]], is used only sparingly in Middle Olgish, expressing a stronger sense of definiteness, and is in many instances subject to elision and cliticization, attaching either to the following noun or, more commonly, a preceding preposition.<br /> <br /> The above text contains only three definite articles, two serving a demonstrative function and one used in a possessive construction with a pronoun:<br /> <br /> *'''''duat’ hern''''' ‘at home’ ← ''dua terg hern'' lit. ‘at the house’ <br /><br /> This expression uses {{sc|def}} to refer to a specific ''hern'' ‘house’, implied to be the speaker’s home. The article is elided and cliticized, attaching to the preposition ''dua'' ‘in, at’.<br /> *'''''duat’ lárnur''''' ‘tonight’ ← ''dua terg lárnur'' lit. ‘in this evening’ <br /><br /> Similarly, here {{sc|def}} is used to single out the ''lárnur'' ‘evening’ given as the hodiernal one. Again, ''terg'' is elided and attaches to ''dua''.<br /> *'''''terg túrada''''' ‘their ({{sc|sg}}) mother’ ← ''terg túra=da''<br /><br /> The third example marked differs from the previous two. Here, instead of a bare noun, {{sc|def}} is associated with a possessive construction, and its presence is due to grammatical obligation rather than semantic nuance. Unlike in Liturgical Olgish, where pronouns functioning as possessors attach to the left of their possession, forming the equivalent of a right-headed possessive compound (so ''terg de-túnor'' ‘({{sc|def}}) your protection’), by the Middle Olgish period, possessively functioning pronouns attach to the right of the possessed noun; as in Liturgical Olgish, although the construction is (semantically) inherently definite, it is obligatorily preceded by the definite article. Uniquely in the text above, this instance of ''terg'' is not elided but realized in full.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Grammar Discussions]][[Category:Out-of-Universe]]</div>

Middle Olgish conditional construction.<br /> <blockquote>''Ním ilisek kéla ahandärnek nauko.''<br />‘If all were well, I would be polite with you.’</blockquote><br /> The condition is presented first, without a conjunction but the predicate in the subjunctive mood: ''ním ilisek'' ‘things would [be] good’.<br /> <br /> This is followed by the conditioned action, equally in the subjunctive but introduced by ''kéla'' ‘then, therefore’, one of the few Olgish conjunctions: ''kéla ahandärnek nauka'' ‘I would speak politely with you’.<br /> <br /> ===Morphological soft selection===<br /> A hallmark feature of all [[Ortûlékian languages]], affixes in Middle Olgish show a great deal of flexibility with regards to the syntactic class of the host they attach to, moving fairly freely between nouns, verbs, and adjectives, and more rarely even pronouns and particles. This ‘soft’ host selection is very common and appears in multiple instances in the text above:<br /> * '''ilisek''' ‘it would be good’ ← ''ilis'' {{sc|adj}} ‘good’ + ''-ek'' (singular subjunctive ending)<br /> * '''elikún''' ‘so many different options’ ← ''elik'' ‘alternative, choice’ + ''-ún'' (superlative suffix)<br /> * '''gissún''' ‘full of’ ← ''gis'' ‘with’ + ''-ún'' (superlative suffix)<br /> <br /> ===Elision of the definite article===<br /> The definite article ''terg'', obligatory in [[Saint Fádin|Fádin’s]] [[Liturgical Middle Olgish|Liturgical Olgish]], is used only sparingly in Middle Olgish and in many instances subject to elision and cliticization, attaching either to the following noun or, more commonly, a preceding preposition.<br /> <br /> The above text contains only three definite articles, two serving a demonstrative function and one used in a possessive construction with a pronoun.<br /> <br /> *''duat’ hern'' ‘at home’</div>

<p>Michaelmgoessler: /* Language Samples */</p> <hr /> <div>'''Middle Olgish''', also '''Middle Cëlacian''' or '''Middle Eastern Olgish''' (Olg. ''Olgenam''), is a historical stage of the [[Olgish languages#History and classification|Eastern (Cëlacian) Olgish language]], spoken in the late [[History Outline#Overview|Iron Age]] and into the first centuries of the [[Lécaronian Empire]]. It is closely related to, but in both grammar and lexicon distinct from, [[Liturgical Middle Olgish]].<br /> <br /> ==History and classification==<br /> ===Etymology===<br /> The term ''Olgenam'', earlier ''Olginam'' derives from the Ortûlékian ethnonym ''Olgi'' ‘the skilful ones’ + ''nam'' ‘custom, way, language’, from an original root *''olg-'' ‘skilful, artful, deft’. The name was applied to one of the [[Ortûlékians|Three Peoples of Ortûlék]], ostensibly the ancestors of the [[Olgs]], beside the ''[[Géni]]'' and the ''[[Auli]]'', traditionally considered the ancestors of the [[Aribelians]] and [[Iiles]], respectively. It is used endonymically by all speakers of non-differentiated Cëlacian dialects (that being, those other than [[Corbian language|Corbian]] and [[Wertian language|Wertian]]) for their language.<br /> ===Dating and historical scope===<br /> Middle Olgish is considered to progress from Old Olgish from the middle of the ninth century E.B. The first three centuries of this development, characterized by multiple waves of rapid sound change, the '''Middle Olgish Unrest''', fall under the term '''Early Middle Olgish'''. It is during this phase that [[Saint Fádin|Fádin]] updates the language of the [[Lonsorigi]], and his [[Liturgical Middle Olgish]] is a variety of this early Middle Olgish; under the prominence of Fádin’s Tongue, this stage of Middle Olgish is often as a whole grouped under the umbrella of ''Liturgical Middle Olgish'', even though only a very particular idiom is in fact used by the [[Olgish church]] and, thereafter, the [[Lécaron|Lécaronian]] bureaucracy.<br /> <br /> From the mid-twelfth century, the Middle Olgish Unrest begins to diminish, although it will not fully subside for another four hundred years. This second, more stable and consistent, stage of the language is considered '''Middle Olgish proper''' and the idiom generally referred to by the term ''Middle Olgish'' alone. It shows significant divergences from Liturgical Middle Olgish, from which it is over a century removed, but remains intelligible with the holy language, especially to those intimately familiar with Fádin’s Lonsorigi and their, from the Middle Olgish perspective, rather peculiar vocabulary.<br /> <br /> While official religious texts themselves are always kept in their Liturgical Middle Olgish form, many prayers, formulas, and other turns of phrase popularized in Fádin’s formal register are eventually ‘colloquialized’ into a form closer to spoken Middle Olgish, often retaining the original wording and structure but adjusting pronunciation and sometimes grammar to more closely resemble the vernacular.<br /> <br /> After more than three centuries of relative stability, the final waves of the Unrest begin to emerge in the early third century L.R. (the 16th century E.B.), as the number of everyday Olgish speakers rapidly dwindles in an increasingly cosmopolitan [[Lécaron]]. The ensuing sound changes again are significant, and Middle Olgish transitions into [[New Olgish]] around the mid-third century. In Seligon, the dialect of the Olgish-speaking but linguistically fairly isolated [[Northern Feldin]] diverges independently from Middle Olgish around 200 years later and is considered an independent language, [[Northern Feldic]].<br /> <br /> ==Phonology==<br /> Note that the below refer specifically to post-twelfth century Middle Olgish; the structure of Early Middle Olgish is discussed in the [[Liturgical Middle Olgish|separate article]].<br /> ===Phoneme inventory===<br /> <br /> {| class="wikitable"<br /> |+Middle Olgish Consonants<br /> |- <br /> ! !! bilabial !! labiodental !! alveolar !! post-alveolar !! velar !! labiovelar !! glottal<br /> |- <br /> ! plosive <br /> | /p~pʰ/ /b/ || || /t~tʰ/ /d/ || || /k~kʰ/ /g/|| ||<br /> |- <br /> ! fricative <br /> | || /f/ /v/ || /s/ || || || || /h/<br /> |- <br /> ! nasal <br /> | /m/ || || /n/ || || || ||<br /> |- <br /> ! tap <br /> | || /ɾ~r/ || || || || ||<br /> |- <br /> ! lateral <br /> | || /l/ || || || || ||<br /> |- <br /> ! approximant <br /> | || || || /j/ || || /w/ ||<br /> <br /> |}<br /> <br /> {| class="wikitable"<br /> |+ Middle Olgish Vowels<br /> |-<br /> ! !!

Low<br /> | (/a/) || /ɑː~aː/ /ɑ~a/<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Significant sound changes===<br /> ====Vowels====<br /> The Old Olgish vowel system, already seeing reduction in Fádin’s writings, is significantly simplified, collapsing quantity with tense--lax distinctions. The separate tense and lax lengthening diacritics of Old Olgish are preserved in writing, as they were in Fádin’s Lonsorigi, making this shift hard to trace, but irregularities in their application suggest vowel quality and quantity are fully conflated by the late twelfth century. The low front unrounded vowel /a/, while still fully distinct in Liturgical Middle Olgish, disappears in writing around the same time, although it is likely to have be preserved by at least some speakers until the [[Early Imperial Era]]. The low back rounded vowel /ɒ/, which Fádin only preserved in select historical spellings, has fully disappeared.<br /> <br /> ====Consonants====<br /> Relatively little change is seen in the consonantal system. The loss of interdental fricatives is complete, after Early Middle Olgish drops voiceless /θ/ but retains voiced /ð/. The Olgish fricative inventory experiences additional reduction in the loss of the voiceless velar fricative /x/, which merges with the voiced velar plosive /ɡ/. The voiceless post-alveolar fricative /ʃ/, already disappearing in Early Middle Olgish, is dropped fully, merging with /h/ between vowels and /s/ elsewhere. The voiced alveolar fricative /z/ is likewise lost in all positions.<br /> <br /> ==Morphology==<br /> Middle Olgish preserves most of the innovations seen in Early/Liturgical Middle Olgish morphology, with most changes appearing in the verbal paradigms. As common across the [[Ortûlékian languages|Ortûlékian family]], affixes attach fairly freely to hosts of various syntactic categories, their exact function varying with host category.<br /> ===Verbal morphology===<br /> {| class="wikitable"<br /> |+ Middle Olgish Verbal Morphology<br /> ! !! scope="col" colspan="2" | Indicative<br /> ! scope="col" colspan="2" | Subjunctive<br /> ! scope="col" colspan="2" | Imperative/Optative<br /> |-<br /> ! scope="col" |<br /> ! scope="col" | SG<br /> ! scope="col" | PL<br /> ! scope="col" | SG<br /> ! scope="col" | PL<br /> ! scope="col" | SG<br /> ! scope="col" | PL<br /> |-<br /> ! scope="row" | 1<br /> | ''-e'' || ''-a'' || ''-ek'' || ''-ak'' || — || -am<br /> |-<br /> ! scope="row" | 2<br /> | ''-o'' || ''-o'' || ''-ek'' || ''-ak'' || -em || -om<br /> |-<br /> ! scope="row" | 3<br /> | ''-e'' || ''-a'' || ''-ek'' || ''-ak'' ||-em || -em<br /> |}<br /> <br /> Middle Olgish mostly preserves the paradigms of its [[Liturgical Middle Olgish|Liturgical]] counterpart, albeit with greater degrees of syncretism, in particular in the subjunctive. The bare imperative of [[Old Olgish|Old]] and [[Liturgical Middle Olgish|Liturgical Olgish]] is merged with the old optative, extending its ''-m'' suffix to all forms in the paradigm; while these new endings become the norm in informal spoken language and are used even more widely in [[New Olgish]], the older bare forms are preferred in more formal contexts, particularly prayers adapted directly from [[Saint Fádin|Fádin’s]] [[Lonsorigi]]. Person/number coding is subject to considerable underspecification; traditionally, the ''-e'' ending is glossed to express singularity and the ''-a'' ending plurality, while the ''-o'' ending is thought to represent the second person in particular.<br /> <br /> ===Adjectival morphology===<br /> Adjectives do not agree with the nouns they modify, like in most Olgish dialects. While they commonly appear as (pseudo-)predicates bearing verbal suffixes, the adjective-specific morphology is limited to comparison; the comparative is coded with '''-ár''' and the superlative with '''-ún'''. These are among the most commonly ‘host-travelling’ affixes and frequently appear a qualifiers in nominal and verbal constructions.<br /> <br /> ===Nominal morphology===<br /> Similar to adjectives, Middle Olgish nouns display very limited morphological coding. With morphological case already lost in later Old Olgish, the only feature overtly coded for on nominals is number; Middle Olgish largely continues the highly irregular plural forms of Old Olgish but already shows some tendency towards regularization, in particular in replacing non-concatenative elements with suffixes. The already common plural suffixes ''-im'', ''-in'', and ''-a'', along with the ethnonymic suffix ''-i'' are increasingly preferred, eventually leading to the nearly complete regularization of plural suffixes in [[New Olgish]].<br /> <br /> ==Syntax==<br /> Syntax in Middle Olgish matrix clauses follows a verb-second pattern, with the additional limitation that only subjects and topicalized prepositional phrases and adverbial modifier phrases can appear in C /spec, with subjects being by far the most common. Base-generated word order seems to be SVO, and the vast majority of clauses also follow this pattern on the surface, including all subordinate clauses.<br /> <br /> Determiner phrases follow the general pattern '''[Determiner [Numeral [Noun Adjective]]]'''. Possession can be coded for in two ways, i) by forming a possessive adjective from the possessor noun with the suffix ''-in'' (heavily preferred by [[Saint Fádin|Fádin]] and the only possessive permitted in Liturgical Middle Olgish) or ii) by forming a possessive compound wherein the possessor precedes the possession (common in Old Olgish and informal Middle Olgish, but moribund already in Fádin’s time and practically out of use by the end of the Middle Olgish period).<br /> <br /> ===Serial IP constructions===<br /> A hallmark feature of the [[Olgish languages|Olgish family]] are serial IP constructions, also present in Middle Olgish, albeit somewhat rarer than in Old and Liturgical Olgish. The subject of an Olgish sentence can in theory take an arbitrary number of IPs (including objects and modifiers) as its complement without the need for conjunctions or other overt function coding; this is most commonly used to either list simultaneous or subsequent actions (and then equivalent to a coordination with dropped subject pronouns) or to add information on the subject itself (then equivalent to a relative clause with a null-marker).<br /> <br /> This rule broadly extends to all syntactically independent nouns in Olgish, although for most non-subjects the possible applications of this construction are largely limited to that of a quasi-relative clause. In this context, such a construction may also (and possibly more usefully) analysed as a nominalized clause as a whole, rather than an IP nested in an NP.<br /> <br /> Any nominal can further take on an IP containing its referent as a non-subject argument or modifier in the same manner. In this case, a pronoun coreferential with the noun in question will appear immediately following the verb, bare if it is a direct object or in a Prepositional Phrase if it is a modifier or indirect object. This special case is the only instance where the Olgish languages permit VOS order; this can be modelled as the lower V projection as a whole being raised to the I head while the subject remains in its base position in ''v''P /spec (assuming the serialized/noun-dependent IP does not generate beyond the I head/the governing noun sits in a virtual IP /spec).<br /> <br /> As there is no overt relative construction in the Olgish languages, serial IPs are the most widely used form of clausal apposition.<br /> <br /> ===The definite article===<br /> <br /> Middle Olgish shares the universal definite article, '''terg''', with Liturgical Middle Olgish. Unlike in the latter, this is used rarely and somewhat irregularly in colloquial Middle Olgish, comparable to the similar development in Biblical Greek. Most nouns appear without an article, whether definite or indefinite; ''terg'' is used only to denote very particular topical items, somewhere between the specificity of a definite and a demonstrative, and to form periphrastic possessives with pronouns. Notably, the article is often elided to a clitic '''t’=''' attaching either to the following noun or, most commonly, to a preceding preposition.<br /> <br /> While the definite article is often preserved in colloquialized prayers and turns of phrase to a degree not seen in authentic spoken Middle Olgish, elision is usually applied where it would be in the spoken register, oftentimes creating the most notable distinctions between a prayer’s formal and colloquial variants.<br /> <br /> ==Writing system==<br /> Developed specifically for his early form of Middle Olgish and popularized through his translation of the Lonsorigi, [[Fádin’s Calligraphy]] is the script most commonly used in writing formal Middle Olgish, while the simplified [[Lécaronian alphabet]] based thereof is the most widely seen in informal and utility writing. Both systems retain many Early Middle and even [[Old Olgish]] contrast eliminated in spoken Middle Olgish, leaving many written Middle Olgish forms unpredictable from their spoken counterparts and leading to a great variety in spellings, particularly among lesser-educated writers.<br /> <br /> Prior to Fádin’s day, the most widely used writing system is the [[Old Olgish alphabet]], which more directly corresponds to the [[Old Olgish runes]]. Considered a mere style variant rather than an independent script, it is used alongside Lécaronian writing for centuries, only gradually falling in disfavour for its more cumbersome letter shapes. It remains in sporadic use until the [[Late Imperial Era]], particularly in the context of inscriptions, dedications, and other short texts meant to evoke the [[Lonsorigi#Book of Belkondíl|age of Olgish heroes]].<br /> <br /> ==Language Samples==<br /> [[The Hunter’s Plea]], example of a formal prayer colloquialized into Middle Olgish:<br /> <br /> <blockquote>''Käronin, Awolin, Delgorin! T’detúnor hwénir tapa kálara närm dwa t’detáram dérita i dikara. Hínas tú náma darek i ‘ekos dimórino. Ílgarin, Elgekan, Noldáran! T’detúnor hwénir tapa jána närm dírika i nioma. Hínas tú náma darek i ‘ekos dimórino. Dúrita i ‘ébeka dem dérinem!''<br / ><br /><br /> ‘I call upon the powers of Käron, Awol, and Delgor! Bestow your protection upon our journey so that on your land we be successful and remain unharmed. We will take only according to our needs and nothing you cannot spare. I call upon the powers of Ílgar, Elgeka, and Noldára! Bestow your protection upon our hunting so that we accomplish great feats and keep our way. We will take only according to our needs and nothing you cannot spare. This is the oath for our hunt!’</blockquote><br /> <br /> The LCC11 Conscript Relay torch in Middle Olgish:<br /> <br /> <blockquote>''Ním ilisek kéla ahandärnek nauko. Dua té lárnur halne gelnau ráne dí kassa duat’ hern, nert elikún hárár. Binne eta wiss, eta Sosk, eta hína tér dua ilon. Duat’ lárnur kórek lár muin dé ilgib gissún kase gissún jeris gissún denwis närt bess jeskílár. Kondre nauko: Mort kínek idro dua Sosk. Gimmortik ilínare terg túrada bernet kassa eldírik nauda. Kéla ilínare kóris nau énos lár kassa ilis.''<br /><br />‘If all were well, I would be polite with you. Sometimes in the evening, I wonder why I work so hard preparing food at home despite so many other, more relaxing options; options like the inn, a Sosk, or all the things at the market. Tonight, the prospect of food with much salt and oil and sugar would make me happy, despite the greater cost. Let me tell you: It would be good if you went to the Sosk. A wise person remembers when their mother cooked the best food for them; and so also what pleasure good food is for the family.’</blockquote><br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> Middle Olgish, along with the [[Olgish writing#Lécaronian Alphabet|Lécaronian Alphabet]], was used for the [https://conlang.org/language-creation-conference/lcc11/lcc11-relay/ LCC11 Conscript Relay] in 2025.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Olgish languages]][[Category:Languages]]</div>
