Khayaro-Hagoran

The Khayaro-Hagoran alphabet was created by David Hunt to write a
constructed language he created also called Khayaro-Hagoran. The language
has somewhat of an Arabian and Indian feel, and the alphabet is made to
be written with a brush or calligraphy pen.

Internal history

Khayaro-Hagoran is the lingua franca of the lands East of the Khash
Desert. Everyone from North Khayar to Iraam speak it as their first or
second tongue. It orginated in the ancient Ohal River civilization, and
spread with the Early Hagoran Empire. With the fall of the Late Hagoran Empire
and the subsequent rise of the High Kingdom of Khayar, it merged with the
Khayarid tongue and became the language known today. At first, Khayaro-Hagoran
was written with the runes of the Hagorans, but under the king of the Middle
Khayarid Kingdom Azhurangi II the runes were developed to better cope with
the new Khayaric words and pronunciations.
