Lo'Oi

Lo'Oi, sometimes known by English speakers as Loish is a language most commonly spoken in the far Southeast of Eldham, typically being found within the nation of the USSE. It was originally developed by the Lo'Oix people of the region, but has since come to be found in pockets across the nation after its founding. Many names of places in the USSE actually originate in some way or another in Lo'Oi.

It did not originally have a writing system, only being developed relatively recently. It was based upon the written dialects of English spoken in Eldham and other small languages spoken throughout the world.

Some speakers are not fluent but instead mix together words in Lo'Oi with English when speaking on a regular basis.

Etymology
