Lucarian (native name LΙΝҀΟΥΑ LΟΥϹΑΡ) is thought to be a naturalised creole language derived from the ancient traders lingua franca used in the early centuries of the age along the coasts of the Middle Earth Sea, from the Pillars of Herakles to the Pillars of Senruset and down the coasts of the Sabaean Sea and well into Nubia. While the vocabulary of Lucaria is quite varied, taken as it is from Helladic, Carthaginian, Coptic and Ethiopic, the majority of words are Italic in origin. Of this last, most are Latin, while some words are taken from Oscan and Etruscan. It is now the common language par excellence in northern and eastern Lybia and the Levant of the Uttermost West of the World.

Verbal and nominal morphology are much reduced: the nouns to two cases and the verbs to conjugationless simple tense and aspect forms. Perhaps in compensation, the use of adpositions (pre-, post- as well as peri-) and adjunct auxiliaries has become common.
