The Caseyan Language (Caseyan: Кăзèйски езыкэнзy, [k​ɐˈz​ɛjski j​ɛzɨ​​ək​ənzu], English transcription: Kazeysky yezykenzu, scientific transliteration: Kăzèjski jezyk​ənzu) is a constructed language spoken in eastern Antarctica — most notably Casey where it was also first observed in. It is one of the first known indigenous Antarctican languages and has official status in Casey. It's a mostly religious and poetic language. The language's vocabulary is largely derived from a plethora of languages such as Russian, Icelandic, German, Toki Pona, Ukrainian and Italian. It is written in the Caseyan alphabet.
