Aquarian (an sheeb weskoyrish, pronounced [æn ʃib wɛs'kɔjrɪʃ] in Aquarian) is an ongoing and developing artlang project created by Owen Fish in 2012. After various proto-forms, Aquarian is starting to develop into a usable language for conworld and conculture use. The premise of Aquarian is that it is the main language spoken in the Kingdom of Aquaria (Weskoyrick [wɛsk'hɔjrɪk]) an as-yet undiscovered country.
Orthography
Aquarian is written using the unmodified Latin (English) alphabet without diacritics or variations. This was done to facilitate the language's use for online typing, Twitter, instant messaging and compatibility within all English-language system fonts.
Phonology
Aquarian is designed to be spoken as if it were English; in other words, you would read Aquarian as you would standard English.
