Mursian (Murstina, pronounced /ˈmʊrʃtina/) is a Borealslavic language spoken in
South Central Artemia, primarily in
Mursland. It is the language of Mursians.
Along with the closely related Volirian languages Porzik and Vrtgoran, it is a member of the Sera-Boreslavic dialect continuum of the Proto-Artemian language family. The language has several characteristics that sets it apart from the other Slavic languages: changes include elimination of case declension in adjectives, a vocabulary with much foreign influence, different structuring of grammatical genders, and the retention of Dual case in specific parts.
Mursian is an ever changing language. Although various efforts have been made to keep the language distinct, loanwords from all over the world have been introduced in the past century. While west Artemian languages remain popular, influences from east Kesh are increasing. From the early 17th century, Mursian sees a significant influx of Jungastian loanwords. Often, these were copied featuring the definitive article at the front (an 'o' or 'a'.), making these words very recognisable.
