Zevino'shoma is the main native language of the Zevinowa'ti on the planet Vinawasho, and is used in my SC4 city journal, Shimafugo Zabitake, as part of the story line. Zevino'shoma is written in its own writing system, but off of Vinawasho it is primarily written using Latin letters. Zevino'shoma has an OVS word order.

Description

Zevino'shoma is the most common language of the planet Vinawasho. It is most closely related to Belakho'shoma, with both of them having evolved from Torija'shoma.

Design principles

Zevino'shoma was created to be distinctly alien, and yet have some similarities to Earth languages.

Language Sources

Words not native to the planet Vinawasho are often taken from English, and modified to fit the writing system. Other details about the language are taken from several other languages, such as Spanish and other romance languages for the gender system (though unlike the romance languages, Zevino'shoma has a full neutral gender).

Interest of Others

Mainly just me and some of my friends.
