Lasiikii

Lasiikii is an Eloric language. It is one of three official languages of Lonne Hipreska, and the principle language of the Lasiikii people of Northeastern Lonne Hipreska.

Lasiikii traces its origins back to Old Eloric, along with most other Eloric languages. Until fairly recently, Lasiikii was banned from schools, workplaces, public places, and in some cases, private homes, in Lonne Hipreshka and Dracos. However, in some parts of Lonne Hipreska, Lasiikii still thrived, and has made a sort of comeback, like Hebrew in Israel.

Lexically, Lasiikii is most closely related to Chantah (93% vocabulary), then Lepa (73%), Kapo (52%), Pashka (44%), and Kestro (42%). Lasiikii is mutually intelligable in almost all of the aforementioned languages, especially Lepa, whose grammar and pronunciation is very similar to Lasiikii. Even though Chantah shares almost 93% of its vocabulary with Lasiikii, they are not mutually intelligable, as the pronunication is radically different, Lasiikii is tonal and Chantah is not, and their grammar is almost completely reverse of the other.

Phonology
Although similar to multiple Eloric languages, Lasiikii has a very distinct and noticeable phonology, counting in with twenty distinct vowels and eighty-four consonants. However, this is not counting the ten geminate consonants that the language has.

Alphabet
Lasiikii uses a modified Krishka alphabet to make room for all the extra tones and letters that other languages using the Krishka alphabet does not have. Before the Krishka alphabet was introduced to Lasiikii, the language used a very cubic alphabet that no one but very select scholars are still able to read. However, in the recent years, there has been a sort of rejuvination project for Lasiikii and Lasiikii culture, and along with it the ability to read Ancient Lasiikii.

Grammar
Modern-standard Lasiikii grammar was adopted in 1903 and was determined by a team at the Jaer Institute for Lasiikii Culture and Language, with help from the Lonne Hipreshkan government.
