Wymgani is the language of Indigenous Ariddians, a people inhabiting the Ariddian Isles in the South Pacific. It is one of the three official languages in Ariddia, along with French and English.
Indigenous Ariddians
Wymgani people are a distinct ethnic group of the South Pacific, notable for their fairly pale brown skin, and hair ranging from brown to black.
Traditional Wymgani culture places a high emphasis on respect for nature. One of the most surprising aspects of Wymgani culture is their utter lack of spirituality. Before the colonisation of the Ariddian Isles by Europeans, Wymganis had never conceived of spirituality. Their concern is with living in harmony with the world around them, and viewing mankind as a part of nature, designed to live in respectful symbiosis with it rather than pitted against it. This may explain why many Wymganis have been active members of the ecologically-orientated Democratic Communist Party.

Lwellsl Wymgani
The inhabitants of the small island of Lwellsl are thought to be descendants of Wymgani explorers who settled there almost two millenia ago. They have evolved their own language (Lwellsl Wymgani), but it shares common roots with modern Wymgani as it is spoken in the Ariddian Isles.
For an example of Lwellsl Wymgani, see the article on the ulek.
Ariddian Arctic Wymgani
A small number of people in the Ariddian Arctic Islands speak Ariddian Arctic Wymgani, a language which origated when Wymgani settlers reached the islands in the fifteenth century. It has evolved seperately from Wymgani since then, but is now considered an endangered language, as very few Islanders still speak it.
Famous Wymgani
- Prime Secretary Aj Ud, head of State of Ariddia
- Secretary Nuriyah Khadhim, acting head of State of Ariddia
- Ue Alt, captain of the Ariddian national football team; other Wymgani on the team are Ta I, Eot Ja, Wol Eosh and Ul U. Player Aush Song is of Ariddian Arctic Wymgani descent.
- Ea L'lew, West Ariddian politician
It should be noted that Princess Serena Eu of San Adriano is of Wymgani descent, but that, since many Sanadrianese are of mixed ethnicity, few identity as Wymgani.
