Introduction

Siluila is spoken by just over half a million people on the island of Iloraino and its minor outlying isles. Siluila is not spoken anywhere else, and is not in contact with speakers of any other language, except for the rare Thanyar trader from the southwest.

The Noleira are generally a shepherding and fishing people, with some cultivation along the coast. Their ancient stories tell of a migration to the islands from across the sea, but disagree as to where they originally came from. They have no knowledge of other lands apart from the ancient tales.
