Asvasiran (Clofabosin: asvasiraserotin, Asvasiran: asvasiraal seroçn) is a closely related language to Clofabosin. It is somewhat mutually intelligible with Standard Clofabosin. It's a minority language of the city of Asvasiran in Nifedipin.

Sound changes

The gemination distinction in Middle Clofabosin turns into spirantization rather than vowel length: savaer "he writes" vs nibuir "he learns".

f -> h, and v disappears.

Asvasiran has diachronic vowel harmony manifesting in words like spwesiir "to feed", borrowed into Clofabosin as spesivir.

Grammar

Asvasiran does not have the timeless/aorist tense, using the future tense -cciet instead: Asvasirase nibuimo huçicciet "Asvasiran is easy to learn".

"what, which" is gil- (Middle Clofabosin gili-, Standard Clofabosin gli-)
