The Ascian language is a fictional language invented by Gene Wolfe for his science fiction series The Book of the New Sun.^[1]

The language is spoken by the inhabitants of the “northern continents” of the future earth, the Ascians, who are enslaved by their masters (the Group of Seventeen) in a way much like the people of Oceania in George Orwell's book 1984.
