Zanchulese (natively: Zánṣyl Óẓ [ˈzɑːn.t͡ʂɨɫ oːd͡ʐ]) is a Sesjan language closely related to Xadwg. It was once spoken on both coasts of the Amujan Sea, but is now only spoken on its southern coast. It is a co-official language of the CMCic territory of Duzhauzech. Along with that, it was the official language of the People's Free City of Amuj before its dissolution in the conclusion of the Amujxplosion.
