Edun

Edun is a language sub-family spoken in the Central Region.

Real-World Information
Biblaridion began working on Edun in 2016. According to Biblaridion, Edun is his least favorite of his existing conlangs, owing to his dislike of the way the language sounds (he admitted that he was surprised by his audience's enjoyment of Edun) and its high level of irregularity.

Summary
A branch of the Central Thirēan language family, Edun has served as the official language of the first Empire of the Sun. Upon the collapse of the first Empire of the Sun, Edun has fractured into Modern Edun (which is often simply referred to as "Edun") and Ulazredhũn.

Writing System
The Edun script is the oldest known extant writing system in the world, as well as one of the most complex and difficult to learn.The difficulty of the Edun writing system lies in its rampant historical spelling: having interpreted the traditions of early rulers as sacred, rulers refused to implement sound changes. As a result, the script lags over a thousand years behind the spoken language.
