The Tarijan word for son is khin. Khin is a classical membranophone used in Newar music of Nepal. Khin is a name that can be Burmese.

International locations:

About this blog

TARIJAN CONLANG features words in an unreal language. Are you confused yet?

Nobody speaks this language, not even me. Tarijan is a language of few words. You could say Tarijan is a secret language.

At this time I'm not sure how these Tarijan words should be pronounced. There are some inconsistancies in Tarijan that still need ironing out.

Complete sentences are way beyond the current capabilities of this conlang language.

Words can be changed or redone after they are posted. This blog shows the current Tarijan words.

Even though posts are not made frequently, this conlang blog is alive.

About Tarijan conlang

Tarijan is a contructed language inspired by Russian and Mongolian. Russian is a Slavic language. Mongolian is an Altaic language. Both languages are written in the Cyrillic alphabet.

Each Tarijan word is intended to be a mixture of the transliterated translations of the words in Russian and Mongolian. I do not know either of these languages, and there seem to be various ways words are transliterated into the Latin alphabet. I'm much more confident that I'm finding reasonable words from Russian than Mongolian. Although I try to find the proper words, there's no guarantee that the words I use are correct.
