Solasprak

Solasprak is a language primarily spoken in the province of Solasberg, the Kingdom of Rozow. It was introduced into Abexilas by colonists from Earrach and Statenland and acts as the unifying language of the two peoples. As the colony of Belmara grew and became integrated to the Kingdom of Rozow, the Rozowian language became the sole official language of the province and the usage of Solasprak was limited to the citizens and local officials of Solasberg.
== History ==
The ancestor to Solasprak, known as the Old Statenfelian Language (Which is 90% Folksprak), evolved from a group of Statenfelian dialects brought to Eldham during the Great Statenfelian Migration, where a group of refugees related to the current people of Tuhrifel and Statenland arrived on Western Astios and Southern Earrach. 
The Old Statenfelian language evolved into the Redorivian Language, the lingua franca of the many Redorivian city states in western Astios. The variety of Redorivian Language in Southern Earrach absorbed many loanwords from the native Scandari language (Scots Gaelic), evolving into the Southern Earrachian dialect, while the variety in Statenland would evolve into the Statenlander dialect. Through cultural exchange, trade, and political alliances between Statenland and Earrach, the speakers of both dialects would develop a variety mixing both languages into the direct ancestor to Solasprak.
When news of the world-ending comet broke out, Raphael, the High Chief of Earrach, and Diamond van Hoeven, the President-Minister of Statenland, would unite both states within Redoriv into one polity after they sail to a new world. The dialects of Redorivian developed by speakers of both Southern Earrachian and Statenlander language would be combined and chosen as the lingua franca of the political union. It would go on to be the official language of the Colony of Belmara before their integration into Rozow as the Province of Solasberg. Rozowian became the sole official language for the Province, but the people of Solasberg still speak Solasprak, in daily life or in local politics.
== Grammar ==
Solasprak follows a Subject-Object-Verb sentence structure combined with a V2 (verb-second) word order, much like many Germanic languages. The infinitive or participle verbs are in the final position, but finite/inflected verbs are moved into the second position. 
This means that simple sentences look like SVO sentences, but compound sentences has finite verbs as the second word on a sentence and infinite verbs on the back. 
Example: De Wulf hawe yn Stén ty de Fogel yndag giwt.
De Wulf 	hawe 	yn Stén 	ty de Fogel 	yndag 	giwt
The wolf 	has 	a stone 	to the bird 	yesterday 	given

Prayer for the Dead, by Lunadaat
Traveler's Tongue	Solasprak
O spirits lost in the veil between worlds,
In the shadows of twilight, your presence unfurls. 
May Keal's gentle guidance, Eadha's loving grace, 
Lead you from darkness to a peaceful embrace.	O Agnen, in de Skal mélen Wéltn kaldt
In de Falsn van Kyrg, onfille éjre Largt
Méj Kŷls zakt Sturge, Édes livend Gnade
Ryke je van Dunklhyd nar yn vrydvoll Glykde
Through winding paths and whispers of the ancient trees,
May your journey be guided by the gentle breeze. 
May the light of dawn illuminate your way, 
As you wander in realms where spirits play.	Durg Wégn kursge ond Flystern van Baumn skaunde
Méj de zakt Famn éjre Réjsn sturge
Méj de Madynsliktn éjre Wégn hélle
Als je durg Rynen wandelen, war Agnen spéle
In the realm of the living, your absence is felt,
But in the realm of spirits, your presence is dwelt. 
May you find solace in the arms of the divine, 
As you journey beyond the earthly confines.	In de Léwensryn, Man éjre Unlargt fule
Dok in de Agnensryn, fyrlig éjre Largt wone
Méj je Solas in de Armn van de Dyen finde
Als je uwer de wéldlig Grykn réjse
Keal, guardian of spirits, watch over their flight,
Eadha, protector of innocence, guide them through the night. 
May they find their way, may they find their rest, 
In the eternal embrace of the sacred quest.	Kŷl, Skuter van Agnen, wak uwer éjre Vlakt
Êde, Skuter van Unkynte, sturg éjge durg de Natt
Méj di ire Wég finde, méj di ire Rést finde
In de ŷwige Glykde van de héjlig Zuke
