Amogian

Amogian (/əˈmoʊgiːən or /əˈməʊgiːən/ 'am-OH-gi-ən'; Amogian: ⌻˝ඞ8¨ꙩ˟冋ˉ ጸ˝⌻˚ 'amogusbi hae' /aˈmo.gus.bi ˈha.e/),Chaehyun Kim et al, 2026, On the Amogian Language sometimes called Amongese (/əˌmʌŋˈiːz/ /ˌəˌmʌŋg/-), is a language primarily spoken by the Amogian people of Amougus, who make up the largest ethnic group in the country, numbering about 183 million. Amogian is also spoken as the first language by other ethnic groups in Amougus, totalling about 10 million people as of 2030. It is written using the Amogian script, which is an abugida.
Amogian is the official and national language of Amougus.
The written form of the Amogian language is attested no earlier than 1631. It is thought that the Amogian people had inhabited the region approximate to modern Amougus since 130,000 BC, but though dating traces of clay indicates older tablets, there are no surviving writings prior to 1631Chaehyun Kim et al, 2026, On early Amogian inscriptions in Old Suspisun Ruins.
== Etymology ==
Amogian is derived from the nation's endonym, amogusbi bun (⌻˝ඞ8¨ꙩ˟冋ˉ 冋¨ค˟), of which the English name Amougus is a corruption. It is unlikely that this has any connection to the amogus meme, due to the script's age. Overall, not much is known about the history of the Amogian language or its script.Chaehyun Kim et al, 2027, A History of the Amogian People
