Byrdlandic is the alphasyllabary and language spoken by the people of Marie Byrd Land and several other Antarctic territories which started being developed in the late 1700s. A sizable portion of Marie Byrd Land's population is Indian, mainly because India's overpopulation crisis lead many Indian citizens flee to the already-being-colonized Antarctica. Thus this language is influenced by, and can be considered, an Indic language.

Most of the sounds of this language are of low sonority (loudness). This is because sounds of high sonority require the speaker to open their mouths more(source), and in Antarctica, it's a good idea to have less of your body exposed to the cold. Ejectives are also common in the language, because they reduce risk of dehydration via not wasting breath, and thus, water vapor.

Classification and Dialects
The dialect spoken in houses near Mount Sidley has slightly more sonorous sounds than the other dialects because the temperature is a bit warmer, and thus, sounds don't have to be as nonsonorous. The Hobbs coast dialect has even more sonorous sounds, because it's even hotter there.

Consonants
As mentioned previously, Byrdlandic prefers nonsonorous, short ejectives because they are advantageous in the cold. The /n/ sound is an exception simply because it’s an extremely common sound, appearing in most languages. All fricatives have aspirated counterparts, along with stops, and with the expection of /p/ whose aspirated version is virtually /f/. The extremely rare /ʛ/ sound is also featured because of Central American influence.
