The Eshen creole language is a creole language that originated in Eshein around 1673, when the Ingrans occupide Eshein's land from Mergany. In the new Ingran colony, "New Colsex", The Mergan speakers, Kalmish Speakers and Ingerish speakers lived together, what made them develop one language that everybody would understand. Its is mostly based on Ingerish and Kalmish. In 1690 this language got a name: "New Colsexish", and it was it's name untill 1806, when Eshein was founded, then it's name became "Eshen", as it is today.

Dialects

There are two main dialects for the Eshen language; Hauptland and Yll. The differences between the two in visible in the sound of some letters, grammar and even sometimes having different words for the same thing. For example, The word "Kingdom". In Hauptland it's spelled "Kunigæn" and in Yll it's spelled "Kunigryk", therefore there are two official names to the Kingdom of Eshane.
