In ŋorld: Oge is a language isolate which migrated into the ŋorld from the far weast in April of 2025. Little is known about its origins, and the recent migration of its speaking population means there is little in terms of written documentation in Oge from prior to April of 2025. It is spoken as the primary official language in Wänade.



Out of ŋorld: Oge's creation predates that of the original Nguhcraft server by several months, the first recorded instance of Proto-Oge (Kogwi Kmoyo ˈkɔgʷiˈkʔ̬mɔjɔ) being a vocabulary list (sans IPA) and a sticky note reading: "agglutinative?" dated May 17, 2020. It was originally created to be used as a (mostly relexed English) secret-lang with fancy grammar to provide extra security in journaling in a mono-linguistic substrate culture. Since 2020, it has shifted into a *slightly* more naturalistic artlang for personal use.


Unfortunately, due to it being created by a linguistics noob, very little exists in terms of documentation detailing the grammar and morphology of the Oge language; tho it can usually be interpreted as loosely SVO, mildly polysynthetic, and heavily pro-drop. It gets a lot done with context and topic marking alone. Its adjectives are more verby than nouny but most of them can be used as pronouns. From 2021-2023, about half of Proto-Oge's nouns were just bouba-ed and kiki-ed into existence while the other half were loaned from whatever language google said that thing was first talked about in. However, these systems have since been completely abandoned, in favor of artificially generating tri-consonantal and bi-consonantal roots from older Oge (and sometimes Proto-Oge) root nouns.
