  Verdurian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Verdurian is a descendent of Caďinor, an extinct classical language that bears some similarity to Latin.
The Verdurian language began when Verduria was created as a setting for a Dungeons and Dragons campaign in which Rosenfelder participated while at college.
Verdurian is relatively well-known within the conlang community, and although it is not necessarily the most fully developed conlang in existence, the quantity of available on-line resources has meant that it has attained a relatively high degree of exposure in comparison with other, more obscure projects.

 Grammar of Verdurian
Verdurian-- known to its speakers as soa Sfahe, the Speech-- is the language of about 55 million people in the Caďinorian Plain in the southern hemisphere of Almea.
Verdurian, along with its sister tongues Barakhinei, Ismaîn, and Sarroc, derives from Caďinor, which in turn derives from proto-Eastern, the language of the men originally found in the northern reaches of Xurno, who invaded the Caďinorian and Xurnese plains about four thousand years ago.
Language cannot be divorced from culture, and the materials assembled in Virtual Verduria form an essential reference on Almean biology, cultures, and belief systems in general, and on the kingdom of Verduria in particular.
