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 (vernacular varieties of) Netagin are both widely spoken. | Modern Bjeheond (''bay-HUND'') is a small subtropical continent (about the size of Australia).
