Marain
Marain is a constructed language used by the fictional Culture of Iain M. Banks . The Culture believes (or perhaps has proved) the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis that language affects society, and Marain was designed by the Culture's hyperintelligent Minds to exploit this effect. A related comment is made by the narrator in The Player of Games regarding gender-specific pronouns in English. Marain is also regarded as an aesthetically pleasing language and functionally beautiful by all those who use it.
