Arangothian ( also Arangothek, "(speech) of the land" ) is an a priori fictional language which was created by Patrick Pfeaster prior to 2003. The language is used for the fictional concountry of Arangoth, and in particular the port city of Drache, which is also the de-facto capital of that land. This language is also occasionally used in the related roleplay chatroom #blkdragon*inn on irc.darkmyst.org. The status of any actual speakers is unknown, though there has recently been some interest in continuing development and propagation of the language.
The website offers a "teach yourself"-styled introduction to the language with 8 lessons, a list of common Arangothian names, and an Arangothian-English dictionary. There are currently approximately 1300 words in the language, with room to form many more with provided suffixes.
