Laefeveshi or Laefêvëši (pronounced as /lae'fɛvəʃi/) (natively also spelled as ᛚᚨᛖᚠᛌᚬᚴᛇᛋᛁ and ꊰꅐꇴꉻꍒꉩꌂꀜꈤ) is a conlang created by Andrej Šuc. The beginnings of the conlang date back to the year 2003 and the conlang has been developing ever since. The language was inspired by Slovene and several other languages but it is essentially an a priori conlang. It has a rich phonology and it's highly polysynthetic and also agglutinative. It uses extended Latin script but alternatively also an adopted runic alphabet or adopted Yi syllabary characters used as an alphabet.
