'''Ehomanian''' (''Ëhomanyš'' [[IPA for Ehomanian|[ | '''Ehomanian''' (''Ëhomanyš'' [[IPA for Ehomanian|[əˈhoma.nyʃ]]]) is an [[Ehomanic languages|Ehomanic]] language spoken by several Ehomanic peoples, primarily by the Ehomanian people in the country of Ehomania and, to a lesser extent, in surrounding areas. It is the most widely spoken, by both number of [[w:First_language|native]] and overall speakers, and most standardised member of the Ehomanic languages, which together form a [[w:dialect_continuum|dialect continuum]]. Standard Ehomanian is based on the prestigious Artarda (''Artërdë'') dialect. Although Standard Ehomanian is closely related to neighboring [[w:Vernaculars|vernaculars]], it is regarded as the formal and [[w:Standard_language|official form]] of the language family. | ||
Depending on [[w:_Sociolinguistics|sociolinguistic]] factors, spoken Ehomanian may be partly mutually intelligible with other Ehomanic languages such as [[Artiutan]], [[Furtaian]], [[Kunstetian]], amongst other minor Ehomanic languages. Linguists often categorize the Ehomanic languages into [[Western Ehomanic languages|Western]], [[Central Ehomanic languages|Central]], and [[Eastern Ehomanic languages|Eastern]] branches, with Ehomanian forming the core of the Central Ehomanic languages. It is also considered the reference point for comparative [[Proto-Ehomanic]] reconstruction, of which Ehomanian is theorised to have descended from. | Depending on [[w:_Sociolinguistics|sociolinguistic]] factors, spoken Ehomanian may be partly mutually intelligible with other Ehomanic languages such as [[Artiutan]], [[Furtaian]], [[Kunstetian]], amongst other minor Ehomanic languages.
