Nidjan
Nidjan, also very commonly referred to as Nidjanski [a], is one of three official languages of the Kingdom of Ajdinland [b]. First records of Nidjan, even though vastly different than today's Nidjan, date back to 2022. As a new language does, Nidjan has developed a lot since its creation.

Nidjan has it's own unique alphabet called Sejceda and it has 34 letters ranging from normal Latin ones, Bosnian unique letters, and Norwegian letters that are represented by the unique alphabet. The letters of Sejceda are written in the Sejcačica script, a special script used solely in Nidjan. It is considered to be a slavic language because of it's roots and heavy reliement on the Bosnian language.
For speakers of Serbo-Croatian, Nidjan would only pose two challenges, the alphabet and the use of unique letters. The most important thing to understand about Nidjan is that it's almost exactly the same as Bosnian, but backwards. The order of words in sentences is the same, but the letters in words are inverted. Recently, more efforts to implement the Boustrophedon writing system into Nidjan have started in order to add uniqueness into the language. Nidjan is not exactly the same as Bosnian as it has implemented five new letters to its alphabet and merged two previously existing ones [c].
Implementing the Boustrophedon writing system into Nidjan would definitely require a learning curve. It would not be the same boustrophedon that the Ancient Greeks used, it would be a simplified version of it. The Greeks often inverted letters both horizontally and vertically along with inverting words in alternating rows, but Nidjan would not invert letters, just words.
More rules were created to simplify the already difficult language. For example, only a selected couple of words need to have a capital letter at their beginning.
