Ocian Language in Nailara | World Anvil

Ocian

Ocian is an old language in Northern Aisoa and the base language from which Bocraean is derived. It began to fall out of use around 700 years ago when the language began shifting to modern Bocraean. It lasted somewhat longer in Veczi but was similarly replaced by Vec.   Almost no one speaks the language anymore, and it is largely only known to scholars and historians in Northern Aisoa. Ruins can still be found with the language etched into stone.

Writing System

Ocian has an extensive alphabet of 32 characters, many of which are shared with its derived languages. The lettering is loose and flowy, and Ocian script has long words with connected letters. Words are separated by punctuation rather than spaces, allowing some sentences to be written without ever lifting the quill.
