As a fictional conlang, Basha Humrayan developed thousands of years ago in a region called the "Humrayavarta" which was the land located in between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. There, in the fabled Humrayavarta, there lived a big matriarchal tribe of all-female Amazons called the "Humraya." The Humraya speak a language which is a sister language of Sanskrit, closely related to it, but not the same. Much like how modern Spanish and modern Italian are sister languages that come from a common ancestor. The word "Humraya" comes from the Humrayan word "Humra," meaning "ant" [as in the insect] which is related to the Sanskrit word "Vamra" meaning the same. The Humrayan language has its own alphabet consisting of 42 capital letters and 42 miniscule letters. Beyond fiction, I use Humrayan as an autocryptolect, meaning a secret language which only I know and understand, for private and practical purposes. | As a fictional conlang, Basha Humrayan developed thousands of years ago in a region called the "Humrayavarta" which was the land located in between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea.

As a fictional conlang, Basha Humrayan developed thousands of years ago in a region called the "Humrayavarta" which was the land located in between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. There, in the fabled Humrayavarta, there lived a big matriarchal tribe of all-female Amazons called the "Humraya." The Humraya speak a language which is a sister language of Sanskrit, closely related to it, but not the same.
