Most of my languages are spoken on other worlds, but perhaps Kirezagi =
could
be spoken on the shared conlang-world somewhere. I figure that the =
origins
of the Tanja fairy-people would be somewhere in Asia; they borrowed their
writing system from Chinese and Japanese, before migrating to Hawaii
(picking up a few words of Hawaiian) and from there to North America. The
Tanja who stayed in the original homeland would speak a slightly =
different
dialect, but fairy languages tend to evolve more slowly than human
languages due to the long lifespans of the speakers.
