Ruroweya

Ruroweya was the language of the Liniruro. When the Eiji assimilated the Liniruro, the Eiji discouraged the usage of the language. While the Eiji Language contains words from Ruroweya, the language of the Liniruro is extinct.   Ruroweya and Medrom Language share a common linguistic ancestor. That early language had a much freer word order; one of the results of language divergence was the difference in word order between the two languages.   Words that I haven't defined yet: lini (something valuable/treasured), meweti, nepo (something valuable/treasured), somaki

Ruroweya was spoken throughout the Ruitehu River basin.
