The Elvari Language (Evari) is the elegant, complex tongue of the Elvari, a sapient spacefaring species native to the Galaxa universe. Elvareth is renowned for its flowing structure, subtle consonant clusters, and science-fantasy lexicon that reflects the magical, technological, and emotional intricacies of Elvari society. The language uses a unique VCCVCV syllable pattern, resulting in melodious but alien-sounding words.
