Mierznykovy is the language of the Ungstiri. In the wake of the Daltanov Expedition, the original inhabitants of Youngster were a mix of Eastern European, Middle Eastern and Asian decent. The language in the Millennium Era is a mix of these three heritages.

Owing to this varied decent, the language can be written in three ways, even if they all sound the same when spoken:

  • Roman script - Often used in computer applications due to the rareness of Ungstiri produced computer hardware and software.
  • Cryllic - Used in standard handwritten Mierznykovy.
  • Arabic script - Often used for Mierznykovy shorthand/cursive writing, and popular amongst Ungstiri without high degrees of computer literacy.

Most Ungstiri hubs speak Mierznykovy as a primary language. It has also gained some popularity as an 'underworld' language, and in some less than legal locales competes with Terran Standard for popularity.
