The ark'tohlian language is only located in the southern world of the [[Western Continent]], and especially spoken in the Skorpion Emirates. With its 26 letters and basic grammar simmiliar to [[Modern Legonian]] it's asumed to be created by the human settlers of the Bay of Ark'tohl who came from the north once. But over centuries and assimilation of various tribes and races, many own expressions and an unique font had developed.

The main grammar and most verbs and adjectives are the same or similiar to [[Modern Legonian]] but many nouns and expressions are unique. For these, some general rules exists.


'''God related terms'''

One speciality is the often use of god's names. Parts of the names of the gods of [[Ark’tohlian Pantheon (South Legonian Polytheism)|Ark'tohl]] are used for terms related to their mythologic meanings
*e.g. Venaradis (home) taken from Venari (godess of family, shelter etc.) 


'''Combinated terms'''

Another thing is the combination of words to create specified terms.
*e.g. Blac'rept'aire (Black Dragon) meaning by words: (Black dinosaur of the sky)


'''Shortened terms'''

The simpliest difference of some words to the Modern Legonian ones are the shortened. Especially already short nouns left 1-4 letters in Ark'tohlian.
*e.g. Blac(Black); Whit(White); Rept(Reptiles); Nor(North); Ea(East); Wes(West)

The same rule can appear in combination with godly and combinated terms to simplify.
*e.g.Ai'janga'rept (Dinosaur of Airos and Jangalis; Pterosaurus) = Airos'Jangalis'reptile

(Ark'tohlian scripture is rarely designed after arabian culture like the Skorpion Emirates too. The language itself is unique. Grammar and verbs are the same as english but many special expressions are added as nouns. Here just basic ideas and a few terms are listed but with the same style you can create own ones.
