Re: Languages in fiction: The Triune Monarchy

Or the Vlach dialect of Romanian, which I learned about right here on
CONLANG.

I "invented" a nation called Chernorus ("Black Russia") once.
Chernorussian was going to be an East Slavonic language with a HEAVY
influx of Germanic and Romance words, a type of Russo-Esperanto. The
nation would've been located in the real-world city of Kaliningrad.

I also had the small island nation of Callisto near Greece, home of
Callistan, a very conservative Indo-European language with Semitic
influence.
