Tsolyáni language
Tsolyáni is one of several languages invented by M. A. R. Barker, developed in the mid-to-late 1940s in parallel with his legendarium leading to the world of Tékumel as described in the Empire of the Petal Throne roleplaying game, published by TSR in 1975.
It was the first constructed language ever published as part of a role-playing game and draws its inspiration from Urdu, Pashto, Mayan and Nahuatl. The latter influence can be seen in the inclusion of the sounds ''hl'' and ''tl'' . One exact borrowing from a real-world source is the Tsolyáni noun root ''sákbe,'' referring to the fortified highways of the Five Empires; it is the same word as the Yucatec Maya ''sacbe,'' referring to the raised paved roads constructed by the pre-Columbian Maya. Another close borrowing is from the Nahuatl word ''tlatoani,'' referring to a leader of an Aztec state (e.g. Montezuma); it is similar to the clan-name of the Tsolyáni emperors, ''Tlakotáni.''
==Alphabet==
Tsolyáni is written in an offshoot of the Engsvanyáli script〔A (Unicode proposal for the Engsvanyáli script ) was submitted in 2001, but it is likely it will suffer the (same fate as the proposal for the Klingon script ), coincidentally submitted the same year.〕 which was developed by Barker in parallel with the language, being very close to its modern-day form by 1950.〔〔 It is read from right-to-left and is constructed like the Arabic script. The consonants each have 4 different forms: isolate, initial, medial, and final; the 6 vowels and 3 diphthongs each only have an independent initial form, while diacritical marks are used for medial and final vowels.
