Modern Bjeheond (''bay-HUND'') is a small subtropical continent (about the size of Australia). Two Bjeheondian languages function as working languages: Tergetian, a language in the Lakovic family which was originally spoken in the continent Talma to the north, and Literary Netagin, a language isolate based on triconsonantal roots. The two languages are thought to have influenced each other pre-historically, before Proto-Tergetians settled in Talma. 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 and Netagin are both widely spoken.

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.

Liturgical chanting is not fixed to a particular tuning and may use traditional microtonal inflections or fine-tuned intervals.

In practice, usually only the first five are used. The two ''pezům''s may be disjunct (separated by a major second), or conjunct (either spanning a minor seventh above the root or the major second above the root).
