Wede:i is for the inhabitants of the Xengi plain on Almea and was created by Mark Rosenfelder. It is written with a unique script.
Uniqueness
An ancient language of Almea (the world Verduria is on), Wede:i is agglutinative, with no strict division into parts of speech, meaning a single Wede:i word can express quite a lot of English verbiage. Other unusual aspects, for a constructed language, include its logographic writing system and its base 6 number system. Finally, it fits into the history of Almea; its writing system became that of Axunashin, a distant relative of Verdurian, when the speakers of Axunašin conquered the Xengi valley; their language was also influenced phonologically and lexically by Wede:i. The lexicon lists over 600 words, with etymologies; a grammar, sample texts and description of the writing system are available.
The cited site also includes sketches of two of its decendants, Jeori and Cuolese.
