Loxian is an artistic language and alphabet created by writer and lyricist Roma Ryan for Enya’s 2005 album Amarantine. The language is featured in three songs on the album (Less than a Pearl The River Sings and Water Shows the Hidden Heart). The term apparently derives from the Greek Loxos meaning oblique.Ryan created the language when she found herself unable to create satisfactory lyrics in English Irish or Latin for some of Enya’s songs.
