The Scynn language (Ščin) or Modern Scynn is a constructed language. It is not to be confused with Middle Scynn which was one of the two official languages of Scynja.

Etymology

The language name comes from the name of the nation which uses the language, Scynja. It has been changed slightly from Ščynn to Ščin during the recent reform.
