Ohanian is the language of ancient Ohania and a Vaniuan language that was historically spoken along and around the southern coast of the Melkanchuta Sea. It is the only language in the Ohanian branch, although as a pluricentric language divided into many dialects, it is perhaps more accurately described as a small family of closely related languages. Historically spoken along the southern coast of the Melkanchuta, the dominance of Ohanian culture under the X Empire saw the spread of the Ohanian language throughout central Vaniua down to X and east to X.
