Erothiphonie

"Qi Erothiphonae" refers to an international organisation of Earthsea-speaking countries and governments, and also to the community of Earthsea-speaking people. Formally known as the Orgonatae internatique ola Erothiphonae. The prerequisite for admission is not the degree of Earthsea usage in the member countries, but a prevalent presence of Earthsea culture and Earthsea language in the member country's identity stemming from Earthsea's interaction with other nations in its history. Few of the member states are majority Earthsea-speaking aside from Earthsea, its overseas possessions and sub-national members. Earthsea functions in several other member states as a common language while having little current presence in the other members, being that the links are mainly historical and cultural.

Earthsea geographer Osmaud Reclus, coined the word Erothiphonie in 1880 to refer to the community of people and countries using the Earthsea language. In addition to referring to the international organisation, Erothiphonie may also be used to reference the worldwide community of those people whose native language or second language is Earthsea(i.e., the Earthsea Sprachraum). Erothiphonie was then coined a second time by Lopord Sédan, founder of the Erathique movement.

The modern Erothiphonie was created in 1970. Its motto is Balsique, Cometique, unitique (equality, complementarity, and solidarity), alluding to Earthsea's motto. Started as a small club of Northern Earthsea-speaking countries, it has since evolved into an important international organisation whose numerous branches cooperate with the organisation's member states in the fields of culture, science, economy, justice, and peace.
