'''Tahar''' is a constructed language created by [[Kalipso_Angel]] in 2018, originally the language of the fictional "Tahari" people. On Civ Servers, it was first used as a religious and lore language in [[Adina (CivClassics)|Adina]], until the overthrow of Kalipso and Adina's monarchist regime in October of 2019. It was used by [[Moloka]] for all of its history, and is currently prominent (in the ''Simplified'' dialect) in [[Acadia]].
Its primary influences were Sanskrit and Spanish, but other languages also influenced its creation.
Line 19 ⟶ 20:
There are five known dialects: Traditional, Simplified, Elenat, Tristitat, and Bharati. Of these five, currently only Traditional and Simplified are actively used.
==
Traditional Tahar is an inflected language which declines its nouns for case and number. It has a large range of words, and grammar similar to that of Classical Sanskrit. In particular, it has a six-case system, and its nouns decline for gender and number. [[Cocobeaa]] is known to be an active user of Traditional Tahar.
==
Simplified or "Acadian"<ref>However, this name is not accurate as Simplified Tahar was also used in [[Javaya]] on CivU and the [[Hyperborean Confederation (
Context is also very important in Simplified Tahar, as a single word can be interpreted in a variety of ways: ''sabar'' means "body", "physical entity", "state of being", or "health" depending on context. Although Simplified Tahar has no official word order, it tends to follow a Subject-Verb-Object, Adjective-Noun, Adverb-Verb paradigm, i.e. it has a broadly head-final grammar.
==
Tahar can be written in either the Latin alphabet or the Tahar alphabet invented by [[Cortwade]]
