Azgovian

In-universe history
Azgovian (Vonnai Azgorin) is the standard dialect of the modern Eastern Vozonid languages. Azgovian was derived from the noble register of the Sarmelonid language, hence its refusal to use "e" in native Vozonid words.

Related languages include Arantarese, Josolchir, Mirkuzian, and Wannaenid.

External history
HorsesDrivingVans created Azgovian in 2015, as he mixed Valarin and Black Speech (from Tolkien's works) with Arabic and Persian. It was the earliest (if not the first) conlang for his Rabydosverse stories, which were then-nascent when it was created.
