Turan is the language spoken by the Turans, a group of semi-nomadic peoples from the northeast of Aarð's main continent who conquered the Kingdom of Arþon in ÐE 1438. They now inhabit what is known as the Turan Khagnét, which covers the area of Arþon, Gadón, and part of Doria.

Turan is an ergative language, quite different from other Aarði languages. It has no fricatives or labials whatsoever, and is my first language to include glottal stops and trills. The orthography is given below.
