Öþranic

Öþranic is the second most widespread goblin language, spoken primarily in Biþræ and neighbouring countries in eastern Ójom, though unlike Þrínic it's far more obscure in other parts of Borgalor. It belongs to the northern branch of the coastal goblinic languages, and is considered by many goblins to be more prestigious than þrínic due to its association with the old empire of Ama and aristocracy in general.
One notable exception to this perception is Terúk, where öþranic accent is common among villains or vain characters in fiction.

Writing System

Öþranic, like most goblin languages, is written using an alphabet derived from early onþókan pictographs, with the modern standardized form dating back to around 80 BF. Unlike the þrínic script, öþranic letters bear little resemblance to the original symbols, a development which the aristocracy in Tæx encouraged from the mid-aman period onward to distance the writing system from those used in the other provinces.
While the amans were largely unsuccessful at supplanting the other scripts, the öþranic alphabet was used for laws, signage and official documents throughout the empire, though bilingual signs were allowed in the cities of Irhar and Þrín following large-scale protests.
