Tevnovan language

The Tevnovan language (Tevnovan language: Ljent Tenjovosk) (Tevnovan Torberian: Tévnonét ko'olpet) is a Sorillian language spoken in Sorel-Tévnova and Tévnova-Rjénberem, the two states which comprise the historic Torberian region of Tevnova. It is spoken by the Tevnovan people and is the western most Sorillian language.

Tevnova is descended from middle Obradinian, the variant of the Obradinian language spoken roughly between 1500 and 1734. It was brought to Torberia by Obradinian settlers in the 17th century who were invited to repopulate the region by the Emperor of Estebia following a devestating outbreak of plague and a subsequent famine. The language thrived during the Estebian Period, eventually becoming one of the two official languages of Estebia after the empire fell. When Torberia Declared independence, Tévnovans remained within Estebia, and were rewarded by their loyalty with a large amount of autonomy. During this period the language thrived, but when Kébrennt's Séltets won the civil war, and subsequently invaded Estebia-Tévnova, the Language was brutally suppressed. The Language suffered different amounts of oppression during the Kébrennt era, going from being heavily oppressed during the First Kébrennt Era to being moderately tolerated during the Third Kebrennt Era, However, It never became an official language of Tévnova until the rise of the reformer Kárnt vák Szártan-Sétélla, who erased the last restrictions forced upon the language with the Káurantat Statute in 1975, and in 1982, with the Regional Reorganization Law, it finally became one of the official languages of the Tévnovan Regions. In 1977 the University of Helsk established the Tevnovan Language Institute.
