Gwapyeo (Gwapyeo pinghyeo: 과펴), also sometimes designated by the exonym Gwapyuran is a Toiran language spoken by about 10 million people, mostly in Gwacho (Gwapyeo pinghyeo: 과초). Gwapyeo has had a lot of influence on neighbouring languages, primarly thanks to its liturgical nature, being the language in which the sacred texts of the Monghwa (Gwapyeo pinghyeo: 몽화) religion were written in, more than 600 years ago. Similarly, modern Gwapyeo has also loaned some words from neighbouring languages, mostly from Daichan (Gwapyeo: 댜챃 (Dyachā)), the most spoken language on the Ramija (Gwapyeo: 라미작 (Ramijak)) continent.
Modern Gwapyeo is written using the pinghyeo (Gwapyeo pinghyeo: 핑혀) alphabet, which is a derivative of the modern Hangul system used for Korean. A romanization system is sometimes used along pinghyeo, especially in learning material, but also in old texts, when pinghyeo wasn't as developped as now.
