  • Mauretanian is a language spoken in northern Melania by several peoples of Mounist faith and Mauretanian ethnic background. Brought in by the Mauretanian invaders on the first few decades after The Plague, it was mostly related to Iparalaspuqui. By that time, it was the language of the bureaucracy and merchants. With increasing contact with the local population of northwestern Melania (speakers of Liliance languages like Arosian and Sanpatrician), it acquired its present form. Mauretanian had a significant impact in the formation of the modern forms the other languages in the region. It was the official language of the Empire of Mauretania, even tought not even 10% of its overall population had it as a mother tongue, or even had any fluency on it. Over time, Phenixien came to be adopted as the language of the Mauretanian nobility, and usage of the Mauretanian language decayed. Nowadays, it is mostly spoken in the region around the Portocapitalian city of Oran (the former Imperial capital), and is also the liturgical language of the Mauretanian Mounists. Unlike most other Liliance languages, Mauretanian is written with its own Mauretanian alphabet rather than the Liliance alphabet. Obsolete terms for the Mauretanian language include Orabic (in Arosian, Orabique) and Pataouete.
