Story

Rin, a 17-year-old high school girl, wandered into an Isekai where the sky is always pink in color. Ruka, a 14-year-old girl who speaks a little Japanese, and a couple of other girls teach her *Juliamo*, the lingua franca of the world. Will Rin be able to exchange *KOTONOHA* with them with a smile?
* *Juliamo* is constructed based on Esperanto, a real language in our world.

About the Isekai Rin has wandered into

[Difference between the world where Rin is from]

• While geographically similar, some buildings, facilities, and roads are completely different.
• The language is the most critical difference; the people do not speak Rin’s Japanese.

[The people called *Vizitanto*]

• Many people other than Rin have wandered into this world from other ones; they are called *Vizitantos*.

[The language *Juliamo*]

• In the past when there was a massive influx of *Vizitantos*, a certain language was common among them. *Juliamo* is constructed based on that tongue, and is used as the first language in certain regions.
• The alphabet consists of 28 characters, highly similar but pertaining some differences to the 26-character Latin alphabet.

[The sky that doesn’t change in color]

• The sky is always pink in color; are there no sunset?
• The lack of visual difference between day and night has led to a general preference towards 24-hour clocks.

A middle school girl who serves as Rin’s caretaker (?).
Though not fluent, She tries to speak with Rin in Japanese after she wandered into her world.
She seems to be living by herself while still being young, and her parents are nowhere to be seen; there seems to be more behind this.

The meaning of the title

*KOTONOHA* = language
*Lernado* = lernado (EO)
Adding the suffix *-ad-* and noun suffix *-o* to the Esperanto world *lerni* (to learn) yields *lernado* (learning).
* *-ad-* adds the meaning of continued action. “To continue learning” = “Learning”

The meaning of the brand

SukeraSparo.
A compound from Espranto words *sukera* (sugar) and *sparo* (sea bream), signifying the store “Taiyaki shop” in the novel.
