Vrnallian (English pronunciation: /vəˈnæljən/ or /vəˈnælijən/, Vrnallian Vrnaljaka /vr̩naˈʎaka/ or Vrnaljaj Saci /vr̩ˈnaʎaj ˈsat͡ɕi/) is a language isolate spoken as a native language by about 240,000 people in the United States of Vrnallia and at least five thousand more people as a minority language in southern Phaedrus Imperator. It is descended from the Old Vrnallian language and is not known to be related to any other attested language.
The language as spoken in Vrnallia can be divided into four main dialects corresponding to each of the four Vrnallian states, with further subdivisions. The language of Phaedrian Vrnallians is typically analysed as a fifth dialect group though some linguists have argued that it is a separate language. A study by the Midrasian linguist Georges Carlos found roughly seventy-five percent mutual intelligibility between the two varieties.
The non-governmental Vrnallian Language Assembly is responsible for monitoring the development of Vrnallian in Vrnallia and has been responsible for co-authoring legislation relating to the language, the most recent of which was the Vrnallian Spelling Regularisation and Simplification Act (2011) which regularised the language's orthography. They are also responsible for the nation's collection of Old Vrnallian texts, which are stored in the archives of the University of Vrnallia. Vrnallian Independence Day has also been celebrated as Vrnallian Language Day since the late 1970s.
