A language used by the Scanian culture; an unlikely hybrid language apparently descended from 22nd Century Terran Hebrew, Arabic, and Russian.

The Göheimsan language is used only during religious and state ceremonies or when discussing Scanian Philosophy. Göheimsan is spoken as a second language by almost all Scanians and is rarely heard by non-Scanians.
