Origin

edit

Hāân is a con-lang made by user Haybale23 in the April of 2024. Throughout its existence, it has gone from a simple exclusion of some letters or replacement with others, to the addition of accents and new letters to the English language. It is an official national language (of Hāâ) of his up-and-coming worldbuilding project, Turēâ ('Terea,' name of the homeworld.)

As of Thursday 7, 2024, this is the first time is has ever been put into writing.

It is still in the process of being made.

In-World Lore

edit

Ỽỽ, Ʋʋ, Ŋŋ and Dꝺ originate from the same region, which is why they all look curved and similar.

Ӡӡ, Φɸ and Гг also originate from the same area, which is why they too look similar.
