Origin
[edit]Hāân is a con-lang made by user Haybale23 in the April of 2024. Throughout its existence, it has gone from a simple exclusion of some letters or replacement with others, to the addition of accents and new letters to the English language. It is an official national language (of Hāâ) of his up-and-coming worldbuilding project, Turēâ ('Terea,' name of the homeworld.)
As of Thursday 7, 2024, this is the first time is has ever been put into writing.
It is still in the process of being made.
Alphabet
[edit]The basic alphabet (22 letters) is as follows:
