Two Bjeheondian languages have official status: Tergetian, a language in the Lakovic family. The two main countries are the Republic of Bjeheond, a former colony of the Tergetian Empire, and Tumhan, the homeland of the Netagin people. Tergetian, which was originally spoken on the continent Talma to the north, and Netagin, a language isolate, are both widely spoken. The two languages are thought to have influenced each other pre-historically, before Proto-Tergetians settled in Talma. | ||
Bjeheondian music is mainly based on Netagin music, which is based on two main scales: (1) the equi-heptatonic scale, or (2) ''hanier''s, which are scales similar to the semiquartal scale, the nine-note scale 221212121 which is an extension of the familiar pentatonic scale. This section mainly deals with the use of the semiquartal scale in Netagin music. Netagin music is usually taught to foreigners based on [[14edo]], and modern produced Netagin music use this tuning, as well as other semiquartal edos. | Bjeheondian music is mainly based on Netagin music, which is based on two main scales: (1) the equi-heptatonic scale, or (2) ''hanier''s, which are scales similar to the semiquartal scale, the nine-note scale 221212121 which is an extension of the familiar pentatonic scale.

A Netagin ''hanier'' /hɐ'nɪɾ/ (literally 'stepping') consists of a nine-note scale plus a choice of which subsets to emphasize, either a set of two ''pezům'' /pɛ'zuəm/ (pentachords, lit. 'set of five') or a framework based on a ''buri'' /by'ɾi/ (lit. 'sprint'), a pentatonic subset where 1\19 is not used as a step. Different styles encourage different subset use. | A Netagin ''hanier'' /hɐ'nɪɾ/ (literally 'stepping') consists of a nine-note scale plus a choice of which subsets to emphasize, either a set of two ''pezům'' /pɛ'zuəm/ (pentachords, lit.
