Enchanta is a fictional language that was devised for the Philippine fantasy television show (telefantasya) Encantadia, which aired on GMA Network from May 2 to December 9, 2005. A sequel series, Etheria, started airing on December 12, 2005, and uses the same language.
Enchanta was devised by Suzette Doctolero, head writer of the said series. Enchanta is not as comprehensive as J.R.R. Tolkien's Quenya, Sindarin and other languages of Middle-earth, or Star Trek's Klingon, though.
"Etheria" is derived from the word ethereal, itself coming from ether. As an aside, the 1980s cartoon series She-Ra featured a planet of the same name (She-Ra is the brother of He-Man).
Encantadia is a fantasy soap opera television series (locally known as telefantasya) shown every weekdays in the Philippines. It was hailed by Philippine critics as the grandest, most ambitious, and most expensive production made for television and was voted among Filipinos as the favorite TV show in K-Zone Philippines magazine. The pilot episode was aired on May 2, 2005 on GMA Network. Its last episode was aired on December 9 of the same year to give way to its sequel, Etheria, which aired its pilot episode on the following Monday, December 12.
