Wenneth Language in Osnaveena | World Anvil

Wenneth

The language of the Wenver, derived from the original language of the Wened. Because of their similar ancestory, Wenneth is rather similar in many ways to Sanwen – they both pronounce S as –th (they have a cultural lisp). Although Wenver live in many regions, there is one accepted pronunciation for the language (rather like the Academie Francais of Louis XIV), and those who do not speak it are considered as unsophisticated hicks or yokels.
