Conworld Context
The Lewinian languages are a family of languages deriving from Lewinian, a language spoken by the ancient Ĺūjneʔ People, a folk of islanders based on fishing, pearl diving and further goat herding. Lewinian split into two branches, when a part of the population evolved seafaring and went off to a new coast, or Lyrpubhesi (“place of the new coast”), giving the newly developing language and its daughter languages the name Lyrpubhesian languages. One Lyrpubhesian daughter language, namely Litic, reached Łazmo, where it was common among merchants.

The remaining branch split further, when the goat herding people and those remaining fishermen and pearl divers separated, leading to the evolution of the Pegzhuy and the “Gjibdreghian” (names might change again, since these branches are still under development) languages.

One interesting feature of the Lewinian language includes two “Ergo-Lects”, or dialects based on the two different occupation sectors of the Ĺūjneʔ People: fishing/pearl diving and goat herding. Pegzhuy, the language of the goat herders has thus been derived from the “Land-Lect” and Lyrpubhesi and Gjibdreghian from the “Sea-Lect”, leading to quite a difference in vocabulary.
