Aurlûnoren language

The Aurlûnoren language (Lhûkuět for spoken, Lhûpár for written) is the primary tongue of the Celestial Elves of the Aurlûnor Velande. It is the official language of the state, as all government actions are conducted in it. The Aurlûnoren script is also used in Deutzan, officially used by the Deutzani Nationalist Party, alongside the Ryzani Script.

Origin
The language itself is a pidgin, arising from the combination of the various tongues of the Ghûren (Aurlûnoren: "ancient people") and the language of the first elves to move into western Rathnir from nearly 11,000 years ago. Due to the longevity of elven lives, their language changed very little from before their migration to the time of the pidgin language's synthesis despite thousands of years in between the two events.

It is thought that the oldest writing system used in Aurlûnoren, the logographs known as Ghûrpárcì, originated among Ghûren communities in ancient times. Comparative linguistics studies between Aurlûnoren and other elven languages in Rathnir have attempted to reconstruct a proto-elven tongue, and from this many words' origins can be pieced apart into elven and guren groups. From these studies, it appears that the various guren languages, or at least one of them, used Ghûpárcì to write, and this method of writing was later adopted into Aurlûnoren by the elves as it formed. However, this theory contradicts the commonly-held belief that the elves of the ancient Kingdom of Ardol created writing themselves.

The contemporary Lhûpárcì (Heavenly Character) script has slowly developed since the days of the Kingdom of Almador, coming into use around roughly 6500 BJC (or 6100 BCA). Slowly introduced in the reign of Talyon II, it was created as a way to increase literacy among the middle and lower classes of Almador. While it was originally a kind of co-official script, today it is the official writing form of the Aurlûnor Velande thanks to the Lhûpárcì script's adoption during the Warlord Era.

Consonants
In addition, there are also two approximants: the labial-palatal /ɥ/, and the labial-velar /w/.

Vowels
The dipthongs /aɪ̯/, /aʊ̯/, /eɪ̯/, and /oʊ̯/ are also present in the language.

Tones
The Aurlûnoren language is tonal; as such, the tone of the word may affect its meaning. There are four tones: the high, flat tone ā, the rising tone á, the drawn-out downward- and-up ǎ, and the quick falling tone à. Not all words are tonal, however, and they are pronounced "neutrally".
