Igur is a conlang with grammar somewhat reminiscent of German, but with right-branching modifiers and postpositions. Word order is OSV. Under Korean influence, the case-class system simplified, the verb moved to the end of the sentence, and Igur absorbed a great deal of Korean vocabulary, such as administration terms.
Igur began as a language spoken by farmers near the Black Sea about 6000 years ago, as evidenced by apparent contact with Indo-European speaking peoples leaving Indo-European loan words in Igur vocabulary. In the 17th century, Igur's predecessor Tiku was split into different dialects, each one influenced by the language where its speakers resided.
