Xi’An (or uo’aXy’an) is the first language released to the public. Developed by the CIG writers and conlang artist Britton Watkins for Star Citizen and Squadron 42, the language is intended to be further expanded together with the community via special Xi’An language sites on the RSI website.
Introduction
The Xi’An and their culture are initially based on Han dynasty China (around 206 BCE – 220 CE), so their language (or uo’aXy’an) is influenced by various Asian languages - both in writing and pronunciation.
Important features
- 'Verticality', meaning that writing is usually from top to bottom and right to left
- Long and short vowel distinction
- Pitch is important - syllables may have a higher, neutral or lower tone - usually indicated by ’ and .
- Only 9 verbs, but depending on 'politeness' or 'flavour' they are written differently
