Ezerryen Easwegian language

The Ezerryen Easwegian language, also known as Unified Easwegian; Ez: Benai-Liydoqezerryen; or simply Easwegian, is one of the official languages of the Common Union of Easway, a self-proclaimed maritime nation in the Barents Region of northern Europe. Spoken predominately by Ezaari Easwegians and long thought to be a language isolate, Ezerryen Easwegian is connected to the proposed Karasuk languages; Ez: Corrazoughen.

Whilst the lexicon is vastly different to other languages surrounding it, Ezerryen Easwegian has been heavily influenced by Iranian, Turkic, Uralic, Slavic and Germanic languages, with many loan words from each.

Ezerryen Easwegian was first spoken by a nomadic group who travelled in the 1st millennium BC from the Altai mountains through rivers that connected the Karakoram ranges to the Caspian sea and eventually the Pontic-Caspian steppe. Over the course of two milleniums, Ezerryen Easwegian, then known as Ezaari, was influenced by Scythian and Turkic languages, including becoming a dominating military force within the Khazars, who the Ezaari Ezerryen speakers gave name to. After the dissolution of the Khazars in the 10th century AD, the Ezaari headed north, where Ezerryen was influenced by Uralic and Russian languages. Arriving in the Barents Region in the 12th century, the Easwegians established the Easwegian Commonwealth, with Ezerryen as its main language, lasting until the early 19th century.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, the EzTHe erryen Easwegian language was extinct and had no standardised writing system. An effort has been made in the 21st century to rekindle the language and in 2019 Unified Ezerryen Easwegian was made official by the Co-operative Government. The municipality of Essrina on Bear Island is known as the heartland of Ezerryen Easwegian.
