'''Kreluri''' is a [[lostlang]] project by [[User:WeepingElf|Jörg Rhiemeier]], currently in the preparatory state. It is a [[Krelian]] language, located in Southern Thuringia, Germany. 

The idea for this language emerged when the author found out that the first Neolithic farmers of Central Europe (the Linearbandkeramik culture) were genetically similar to modern Georgians (such as G2a being the most common Y-DNA haplogroup) and ''could'' have spoken a language related to Kartvelian.

The name '''Kreluri''' has a long history and probably descends from ''Klingonen'', the German plural of ''Klingon''. A cousin of the author coined the name ''Kreloren'', probably as a disfiguration of ''Klingonen'', for an alien warrior race; this was later amended by Rhiemeier to ''Kreluri'', used in several short-lived space opera settings, and finally picked up for the Para-Kartvelian lostlang because he felt it sounds like a Kartvelian language name (such names often end in ''-uli'' or ''-uri'' in Georgian). The Kreluri language, however, has no connection to [[Klingon]].
