The Pyuwan or Puan language /ˈpju.(w)ən/ (Pyuwan: فیشِنَ Fīṡina, Kyawcenni: Bêde Pyuwane) is a Mary-Moldovan language spoken in eastern Archipelagia in the Kyawcenni territory of Kyawcenni Pua.

Not much is known about the language and it is still being researched. The most active researcher of the Puan language is Marcy Sheikah.

Etymology

The name Puan was used because nobody else had used that name, so Kyawcenni Puans just kinda stole it, lmao. Nowadays though, the Kyawcenni term Pyuwan is more commonly used due to Puan being associated with the region east of the Antsunmwasha River.
