The following is the Names of the days of the week in numerous imaginary languages.

Explanation

Heavenian

Modern Heavenian follows a modified form of the East Asian system. After Heavenian split into West and East Ancient Heavenian in the mid-1st millennium BC, both language families maintained a similar naming system, although some of the modern names are adapted from words that did not yet exist in either language. For example, from the Old Ancient ekuran (nature, creation) came the word for Thursday in West Ancient ekrei. The modern vodei would not enter Heavenian until around the 6th century AD. The naming scheme has remained largely the same since that time.

divei: From divinal, "divine light", related to Latin divinitas.

lonei: From lonarel, "moon", probably derived from Ancient Italic.

ferei: Ultimately from flamin, "fire", probably derived from Ancient Italic.

livei: From lival, "water", a native root of Old Ancient Heavenian.

vodei: From vodiyal, "tree", derived from Ancient High Germanic.

airei: A derivation of aromal, "gold", related to the Latin aurum.

sorei: From soral, "righteousness", derived from Japanese 空 sora, "sky".

Noranglish

Noranglish days of the week are, like the rest of the language, based on English. Unique to this list, Noranglish has two different day systems depending on which variety of the language is being used. In Norfra (Noranglish with the full English vocabulary, including French and other loanwords), the days of the week are directly borrowed from English, modified to fit Noranglish phonotactics. In contrast, the less common Norángla (Noranglish with pure Germanic vocabulary, including neulogisms from Germanic roots) uses a system more closely aligned to the names of the Norse deities:

Sundij — Sólndáj

Mondij — Mánindáj

Túsdij — Túrndáj

Vensdij — Odindáj

Thúrsdij — Thórndáj

Frijdij — Frejndáj

Satrdij — Saturndáj

Sekany

Sekany closely follows the Russian day system, modifications mostly present to reflect that Sekany is partially descended from East Ancient Heavenian (via West Sekurian).

In the real world, shortly following its creation in 2012, there was possibly an older day system attached to the language, but precisely what this system was was never recorded. These names, if they did exist, have been lost to history.

Akareilian

In Akareilian, the day-ending ак is directly borrowed from Serbian, however none of the seven days have relations to any real world system. In the Minecraft world Akareilian comes from, the only language with which it has had extensive contact is English, so though there are loanwords present in Akareilian from English, most core systems show no impact.

надкејлак nadkejlak: Ultimately from кејља kejlja, roughly meaning "The female creator"; this is typically interpreted as a reference to Lady Freedom, the ruler of the Aether and the de facto administrator of the world.

удретнак udretnak: From удрета udreta, "dawn".

мецвеинак metsvénak: From мецвеинa metsvénа, "morning".

актаљак aktaljak: From актаља aktalja, "noon".

шурељак shureljak: From шурељом shureljom, "evening".

режолак rezholak: From режола rezhola, "night".

нетвхитак netvhitak: From нетвхири netvhiri, "to sleep".

Sekanno

Sekanno numbers the days from 1-7, with the exception of Wednesday (day 4), as 4 is commonly considered an unlucky number in East Asia, where in its imaginary canon this language was most widely spoken. So, Wednesday instead uses the prefix じょん jon which means "center" or "middle", derived from Mandarin Chinese 中 zhōng. (Interestingly, the name of China in Sekanno - しんぐい shingui - does not use this prefix despite 中 being in its endonym, playing a key part in China's cultural and political history.)

With the notable exception of 2 (に ni, from Japanese), all of the numbers present in the system are derived from Mandarin.

Secret

Secret primarily follows the Japanese week system, however since Kanji are not used in Secret, most of the day descriptors use the native Japanese Kun-yomi reading, rather than the Chinese on-yomi that is present in most days of Japanese. Comparing the two systems:

Tuesday and Saturday maintain the on-yomi due to both being only one syllable; it is also notable that 火 has ひ hi as a kun-yomi, which would overlap with Sunday.

Avtoriten

Avtoriten is officially classified as a language isolate, however its week system is closely related to Heavenian. Refer to the table at the top of the article for that comparison.

Bakan

In translating the days of the week from English to Bakan, the word "day", jad, was kept separate, and the prefix flipped independently. This is a relatively new development; in the opening stages of the language's lifetime, the entire day would have been spelled backwards, e.g. Friday -> yadirf; the present representation is taken from the pronunciation rather than the spelling.

Talanan

The Talanan system dates to at least the late 17th century, when Talana was first settled by the people that would later bear that name and that language, but it is possibly much older. It is thought that at least some of the day names refer to specific tribes within the Tālanan people; for example Saturday, āvarenar, could be translated as "of the tribe of Avaren" (the -r ending denotes the genitive case in Talanan for most declensions). The Tālanan today do not distinguish between historical tribes, and with few written records present before the 19th century, it is not known how many of the days can be traced back to tribes. None of the seven days have root words that are present within the vernacular today.
