Razaric is a conlang family by Jörg Rhiemeier that is spoken in the British Isles (by the "British Dwarves") in the League of Lost Languages. It is a branch of the Tommian language family. The name is based on the self-designation Miria Razar 'People of Razar', in which Razar 'Maker' is the name of the Dwarven creator god.
So far, only a few cursory notes on Razaric exist. The Razaric languages share a number of features (such as VSO word order and initial mutations) with the Albic and Insular Celtic languages, though they are not (known to be) related to any of the two. Rather, the three families in question form a linguistic area. The Razaric languages show ergative argument marking.
The Razaric languages contain many Albic loanwords, especially cultural terms. This most noteworthily includes most of the metalworking terminology: while the Dwarves were great masters of this art in historical times, they had learned it from the Elves.
Proto-Razaric
Proto-Razaric is the reconstructed common ancestor of the Razaric language; it is estimated to have been spoken around 4000 BC. (The Proto-Razaric page is no longer up to date, though.)
