Verdurian (soa Sfahe, "the Speech") is a constructed language created by Mark Rosenfelder, first published in 1995[1][2] and hosted at his website, Zompist.com.
Verdurian is a fictional language, which in Rosenfelder's constructed world is spoken in the nation of Verduria, on the planet Almea.[3]
Verdurian is the most-developed and best-known of the languages of Almea.[4]
The years given [in the book's list of conlangs, in which Verdurian is given a date of 1995] for most of the languages I list from 1990 on represent (approximately) the first posting about the language on the Web, in a newsgroup, or on a site dedicated to the language.
I accumulated a miscellaneous heap of Almean stuff during college [including a] hefty Verdurian grammar and a vocabulary of several thousand words, plus various short documents in Verdurian. . . . After college, in 1984, . . . I typed in the dictionary and rewrote the grammar. . . .
