Colors bleed into declensional groupings in Géarthnuns, so there is no one
color associated with language.

"mölkarhars", language (langue), is associated with "ngölaurs", orange.

"dhösals", language (langage), and "möls", speech, are associated with
"zíauríls", red.

Meanwhile, the older word "nuns", language (mostly 'langue' but with
'langage' overtones), is associated with "sülíns", blue.

As mentioned in long ago postings, language acts (reading, writing,
speaking, etc.) often fall into the "-ls" declension, so by default would be
associated with red. But that need not always be the case.
