Intro

Akodjo (Akodjonian: Akojomã Kãli, litterally language of the State of Akodjo, the name of the country pre-colonization and the name of the Ancient Village at where is now located Arténie-Ville) is one of the official languages of Artenia island country alongside Franquese and in some parts of the country Ingerish.

It's a conlang, inspired by RW Baoulé language (one of Akan group languages) with many made-up words, or words from Franquese and Ingerish languages.

The local population speaks de facto Akodjo, and 80% speak another language (Franquese or Ingerish).
