Ghurklasian is a conlang created by Tvvd. It has influence from French, Dutch, Russian, Danish, German, Greek, and Spanish. It is considered as an Indo-European language by the creator. The language was created to serve as Ghurklas' official language. It has now gotten a community in Austria under the nickname "Lüodingosch".
It is a SVO, but the subject may be removed depending on context.
The language changed script a lot, going from the Latin script to Cyrillic, then getting its own script (similar to Cyrillic) and finally using the Latin script again for easier use.

Media
Ghurklasian has not reached a speakable stage long enough for it to be a lot of media, however some projects are in development
Learning sources
The creator of the conlang made a Youtube channel to learn it, called Daily Ghurklasian. It hosts short videos teaching vocabulary.
However, the biggest form of learning material is on a website called "Ghurklasian Library", who's goal is to archive and provide content in the language
Content in Ghurklasian
A few Minecraft translations where attempted but were dismissed at the change of script. The only game to have translated content still in work is Ultrakill. Only half of the translation mod has been released on the Thunderstore, giving you access to translated rank titles. A video showcasing the other part of the mod has been released the 2 June 2024, and is avaible here on Youtube. Since that video, a few errors were corrected and a new font adapted to Ghurklasian was added.
