Sanemi Language

The Sanemi Language, often simply referred to with its endonym of seSanemi, is a language spoken in central-southwestern Kylorne, and primarily the Kingdom of Sanemi, where it is the most common and sole official language. It is the largest, most well-known, and most widely distributed of the Semantu languages.

Distribution
The language is primarily spoken among the main ethnic groups of Sanemi on the continent of Bazwebwe, minus the Habewa, who speak the related siBewa language. It is found mostly in the central and southern regions of Sanemi, except where the Kice-Muqolo languages are spoken, and in many Sanemi diaspora communities as well. One of the largest of these diaspora communities, primarily comprised of ethnic Enka, live among Bilgewater's Buccaneers, to the east of Sanemi on the continent of Lazzeatir.

History
The various Semantu peoples resided in the region of western Bazwebwe for millennia; some of the earliest written records on the continent are written in seNkond'ola Olanwezi- the earliest known Semantu language, and date back approximately 3100 years. Various early Semantu languages likely existed alongside seNkond'ola, but have since gone extinct.

The Sanemi language itself appears to have arisen initially as a pidgin between late seNkondo and siShani, forming during the Sifisine Wars and the earliest few years of the Sanemi state existing. The term "seSanemi" came into existence about 200 years BKS, midway between the kingdom's founding and its collapse at the beginning of the Kylorne Tribal Period.
