'''Aoma''' (''Auma'' or ''Bowombor'' Speaking of Ours) is a priori language created for the fantasy world of Grundet. Aoma and [[Rinap]] form the main languages of South-West-Herookuan family deriving from the ancestral [[Rinapri]]. Aoma is the official spoken and governmental language of Eastern Sceptre with around 15 million speakers, but it has not much to do with the languages of Western Sceptre. Word ''Aoma'' seems to come from the name of eastern area with coast temples, Kaomaago (''Kaa Omaike Hakoror'', At the coast of temples).

==History==

'''Lore''': Aoma and [[Rinap]] form the main languages of South-West-Herookuan family deriving from the ancestral [[Rinapri]]. Aoma is the official spoken and governmental language of Eastern Sceptre with around 15 million speakers, but it has not much to do with the languages of Western Sceptre. Word ''Aoma'' seems to come from the name of eastern area with coast temples, Kaomaago (''Kaa Omaike Hakoror'', At the Coast of Temples). The language presented here has been stitched together from various very different dialects to unify peoples of the empire so no "true Aoma" has ever existed.

'''Actual''': After Rinap I wanted something with less k-letters and difficult diphthongs, and I had already set my old script originally for Finnish as the script of this future language. This gave birth to a project randomly named Aoma - the story came later.

'''Problems''': According to my lore history, Aoma and Rinap must have begun their separation at least 3500 years ago. Since I weren't thorough enough to create Rinapri, there is some inconsistency between the languages, especially with phonetic change and vocabulary - I was unable to achieve a realistic linguistic relationship (very similar to Romance languages deriving from Latin and slightly to the history of Finnish and Sami languages), and hence coined up the facts that both languages were mere compilations of different dialects (inspired by the birth of standard Finnish here as well). And Rinapri probably never would have been truly consistent as a spoken language as it was spread to a vast region.
