Dragonstonian language

Dragonstonian (muret Artedenara), is a North Dragonstonic language spoken by around 12 million people, mostly in Dragonstone, where it is the official language. The Dragonstonian language belongs in the Dragonstonic language family, a language family which is unrelated to any other known language in Antarctica, and is considered as belonging in a micro language family due to its similarity with some other languages in Antarctica. Dragonstonian is spoken and written in the verb-subject-object form, as opposed to the subject-verb-object form used in English.

History
The modern Dragonstonian language descends from Middle Dragonstonian, which was spoken in the middle ages, and descended from Old Dragonstonian, which all languages in the Dragonstonic language family descends from. Old Dragonstonian itself is descended off of Proto-Dragonstonian, a language that was spoken by the Quendi in Valnor, where it originated from. Proto-Dragonstonian was completely unrelated from the Valnorian language spoken in Valnor, although Proto-Dragonstonian does share a lot of loan words with Valnorian due to the languages' being within close distance of each other.

The Kingdom of Dragonstone, which was founded in the early middle ages, decided to adopt the Latin alphabet as the official alphabet in order to make translating the language with other languages easier. The Old Dragonstonian language became spread through the colonization of different lands and trade conducted by the Kingdom of Dragonstone, which left the language in present day United Provinces, Candvia, and Antarctica, along with the current Dragonstonian colonies as well. These languages would evolve into the other Dragonstonic languages that exist today.

Writing system
The Old Dragonstonian language, the predecessor to Modern Dragonstonian, used the runic alphabet of Valnorian for writing, but adopted the Latin alphabet in the middle ages so that translating the language would be easier. The Dragonstonian Latin alphabet consists of 27 letters, and has removed some letters over the years since they didn't exist in Dragonstonian. As the Latin alphabet didn't have specific sounds in Dragonstonian, the Dragonstonian Latin alphabet has some diacritics that demonstrate certain sounds that don't exist in letter form in the Latin alphabet.

The Dragonstonian Latin alphabet consists of 27 letters - Aa Bb Cc Čč Dd Ee Ff Gg Hh Ii Jj Ĵĵ Kk Ķķ Ll Mm Nn Oo Pp Rr Ss Şş Tt Uu Vv Ww Zz. With the diacritics, the č is pronounced "ch", the ş is pronounced "sh", the ķ is pronounced "qu", or "kw", and the ĵ is pronounced like the "y" in "yes". The Dragonstonian Latin alphabet also dropped the letters Qq Xx Yy, with Qq and Yy being replaced with Ķķ and Ĵĵ when it is pronounced like the "y" in "yes", respectively. If the "y" is being pronounced like "i" or "e", then it is replaced with "i" or "e".
