'''{{SUBPAGENAME}}''' (''n gaz Anbirjeong'' /ən gaz anbirjəŋ/) is a major [[Talmic]] language descended from [[Tigol]], inspired by Sino-Korean, Swedish, and Welsh. It is noted for its split-ergativity, like its close relative [[Ciètian]].
{{SUBPAGENAME}} is the official language of the Talman countries [[Verse:Tricin/Anbir|Anbir]] and [[Verse:Tricin/Musun|Musun]] and of former colonies in Cualuav including Andaegor (from [[Tigol]] ''Aunḋ-Áeċur'' /ăŭnd aeguɾ/ 'sun's perch', a legendary landmass beyond the western Talman Ocean), a large country to the south of Fyxoom, and Txapoalli; it is the second-largest Talmic language, after [[Eevo]], in terms of number of speakers. Like with German, there is a Standard {{SUBPAGENAME}} and various regiolects.
 
Thanks in large part to the printing press, Modern {{SUBPAGENAME}} rapidly gained prominence over a larger area in Northern Talma and came to serve as a lingua franca for northern mainland Talma and parts of Etalocin. Today, {{SUBPAGENAME}} still enjoys a certain status as a "cultured" language and is one of the most widely taught foreign languages in the Bitaletan world. Anbirese is somewhat mutually intelligible with [[Ciètian]] (like German and Dutch).
 
==External history==
The idea of {{SUBPAGENAME}} began as "Tsjoen", before I decided to make it a Tigolic language. The grammar is heavily based on my first Tiogall draft and Irish.
 
==Todo==
* Tigol ct /kʰtʰ/ (from PTal xt/xθ) should become tt /tʰ:/ > /t/ because Norse
* Turkish style evidentiality?
** past participle is unmarked, preterite is hearsay
* Inalienable v. alienable possession (genitive/prefixes for inalienable, an equivalent of "shel" for alienable)
*ot, od > at, ad
*Numbers: kjam, tjeodeor, nask, tyb, solj, stam, rvaz, laz, paerp, ngjor, jachim, knae
*scaimh 'mountain' > skeγ
*obey < TELIC + 'listen' (like in Þiús'k)
*Conjunctions that take pronominal suffixes, like Arabic ''ʔinna'' and ''ʔanna''
*Swadesh list
*Tigol > {{SUBPAGENAME}} sound changes
*a verbalizer like ''-ować''
* urjeon = to do much
** Used as an auxiliary (like Hebrew hirba): ''Urjeoni u ṡavri'' /üɾʲəni ü avɾi/ = he forgives often
 
*Verb prefixes:
**''ar-'': on, at > ''ar-''
**''(deut.) as-'': telic > ''ys-''
**''(prot.) de-, (deut.) do-'': in, at > ''dze-'', ''do-''
**''é-'': with, co- > ''e-''
**''fin-''/''sin-'' = well, thoroughly > ''fin-''
**''for-'': causative, through > ''for-''
**''(prot.) ful-, (deut.) fol-'': around, back > ''fl-''
**''imm-'': immediately > ''im-, m-, n-, ŋ-''
**''(prot.) gel-, (deut.) gol-'': up, out > ''gol-''
**''ro-'': down > ''ro-''
**''sol-'': a causative > ''sol-''
**''(prot.) su-, (deut.) so-'': towards > ''su-''
**''(prot.) sur-, (deut.) sor-'': back > ''sor-''
**''(prot.) u(cc)-, (deut.) oc-'': from > ''oc-''
 
Vowel reflexes:
*a e i o u > eo jeo je u eu
*ai ei oi ui > ae ji oe i
*á éa í(o) ó ú > a je ji o u
*ái éi ói úi éu > ai je oi ui jo
*eá eó eói iú iúi > ja jo joi ju jui
*ae ao aoi > e eu eui
*ia ua uai > ja veo vae
 
==Phonology==
Old Anbirese and Old Ciètian both underwent the so-called Anbirese spirantization of [[Tigol]] aspirated stops: ''p ṗ t ṫ c ċ'' /pʰ bʰ tʰ dʰ kʰ gʰ/ > OAnb /f v θ ð x ɣ/. Modern Anbirese subsequently shifted /θ/ to unaspirated ''t'' /t/, /t/ (from Tigol ''d'') to ''θ'' /tʰ/, /ð/ to ''z'' /z/, and deleted /ɣ/.
===Consonants===
Anbirese has about 33 consonants:
*/k g x ŋ/
*/tɕ d͡ʑ tɕʰ ɲ/
*/t d tʰ z (ʑ) n/
*/p b f v m/
*/pʲ bʲ fʲ vʲ mʲ/
*/s ɕ ɧ h/
*/ɾ ɾʲ ɹ j ɴ̆/ [w]
 
Anbirese has phonetic palatalization, indicated by writing ''Cj''. Anbirese makes a distinction between palatalized consonants (written ''Cj'') and iotated consonants (written ''Clj''):
* ''mjeg'' /mʲeg/ = to cover (cognate to Eevo ''mee'' 'to hide'); ''mljeg'' /mʲjeg/ = to sell (cognate to Eevo ''mleend'' 'shop')
* ''sjeong'' 'sky', ''sljeong'' 'blossom, bloom'
 
[w] is an allophone of hard /v/ after consonants.
 
/t d tʰ s z n/ are dental(ized).
 
===Notation===
====Radical consonants====
*k χ ng /k x ŋ/
*kj χj ngj /tɕ ɕ ɲ/
*t θ n /t tʰ n/
*tj θj nj /tɕ tɕʰ ɲ/
*c cj /ts tɕ/
*p f m /p f m/
*pj fj mj /pʲ fʲ mʲ/
*s sj/stj/skj h /s ɧ h/
*r l lj j /r ɴ̆ l j/
 
At word-final position, the voicing distinction in unaspirated plosives is lost, and unaspirated plosives are unreleased.
 
====Lenited consonants====
*g γ /g Ø/
*gj γj /d͡ʑ j/
*d z /d z/
*dj zj /d͡ʑ ɹ/
*dz dzj /dz d͡ʑ/
*b v /b v/
*bj vj /bʲ vʲ/
 
====Eclipsed consonants====
*ng ngh /ŋ ŋʰ/
*nj nhj /ɲ ɲʰ/
*n nh /n nʰ/
*m mh mj mhj /m mʰ mʲ mʲʰ/
 
===Mutations===
Anbirese has 3 types of mutations: lenition, eclipsis, and h-prothesis.

Null-initial words may get h-prothesis after certain words.
 
<sup>*</sup>The clusters written ''sp'', ''st'', ''sk'' do not mutate.
 
===Vowels===
Anbirese has 7 vowel phonemes. ''eu'' /ɨ/ may be treated as a hard counterpart of ''i'' /i/: ''mi ni pi ti ci ki bi di gi fi vi'' are read as ''mji nji pji tji cji kji bji dji gji fji vji''. ''si zi li'' are an exception: they're pronounced [ɕi ʑi ɲi].

===Stress===
Stress is weak to nonexistent in Modern Anbirese.
 
===Intonation===
Standard Anbirese is not tonal; it has an intonation like Seoul Korean.
 
==Dialectology==
Anbirese is primarily spoken in Anbir, Musun and in overseas Anbirese-speaking countries.
===Anbir===
Anbir has more dialectal diversity. Some dialects still use the preterite conjugation inherited from [[Tigol]] instead of the participle form
 
===Musun===
 
==Orthography==
Like other Talmic languages, Anbirese is written in the Talmic alphabet.
 
==Vocabulary==
Anbirese is about as purist as German, though it has a fair helping of [[Swuntsim]] loanwords. Many [[Tseer]] and [[Windermere]] loans are considered archaic today.
 
==Morphology==
===Mutations===
Like Ciètian, Anbirese has lenition and nasal mutation.
 
===Nouns===
Like its close relative [[Ciètian]], Anbirese has three genders for nouns (masculine, feminine, and neuter). Standard Anbirese has nominative and genitive cases, but many Anbirese dialects have lost all inflection.
====Definite article====
Regardless of gender and number, the definite article is
*''eo'' before nasals and resonants (except /j/): ''eo mar'' [ə̀ mǎɾ] 'the tree'
*''n'' before other consonants (where it is pronounced /ɨn/) and before vowels (where it is pronounced /n/): ''n cheozir'' [ɨn xə̀ʑîɾ] 'the flower'; ''n abeoz'' [n‿àbə̂z] 'the book'
 
The above rule operates after the word is mutated for number/gender marking.

|}
 
====Plural nouns====
A common way to pluralize nouns is by tone change. This is the default paradigm for loans.
 
*''mar'' /mǎɾ/ [mǎɾ] = a tree
*''már'' /máɾ/ [mâɾ] = trees
 
However, many plurals use suffixes or other changes:
*''íms'' /íms/ [îms] = a loved one
*''imseot'' /ǐmsət/ [ìmsə̂t] = loved ones (some dialects use ''ímseot'')
 
Musunese Anbirese always uses ''-eot'' for the plural.
<!--
Nouns only have two states (absolute and construct) and two numbers (singular and plural).  The usual affixes are:
*plural absolute: ''-r''
*singular construct: ''-(y)th''
*plural construct: ''-(y)ph''
 
e.g. ''cythr'' 'flower', ''cythryr'' 'flowers'; ''chyvn'' 'woman', ''chyvnyr'' 'women'.
 
The definite article is always ''i'', or ''in'' before a V or after a preposition.
 
Possessive suffixes: mar-na, mar-s, mar-ou, mar-i, mar-yth, mar-ym, mar-fe, mar-yc, mar-ur (or mar-thur)
 
Plural: mar-ph-yna, mar-ph-s, mar-ph-ou, mar-ph-i, ...
 
''i marna'' = my tree
 
''i cythr suvn-yna'' = my beautiful flower
-->
 
===Adjectives===
Predicate adjectives are uninflected. Attributive adjectives agree with nouns in gender and number by mutations.
 
Adverbs derived from adjectives are unchanged (as in German).

|}
 
*Comparative: ''tjangeoban'''teo''''' = more interesting
*Superlative: ''tjangeoban'''eob''''' = most interesting
 
===Verbs===
Verbs are conservative and similar to [[Ciètian]], with synthetic forms instead of analytic constructions as in [[Skellan]].
====Finite verb inflection====
All forms of an Anbirese verb are formed from four principal parts:
 
#the present absolute stem
#the imperative stem
#the past stem
#the bare infinitive stem
 
The forms of an Anbirese verb are the following:
*Present tense: PRESENT + ''-i'', negative ''θri'' + IMPERATIVE
*Subjunctive (after preverbs): also IMPERATIVE
*Future tense: ''aeb'' + IMPERATIVE
*Past tense: PAST + ''-i''; induces split-ergativity
*Imperative: IMPERATIVE
*''-eod'' infinitive: PRESENT + -eod
*bare infinitive: INFINITIVE
 
There is no aspect distinction.
 
====Non-finite forms====
*The ''-eod'' infinitive is used with some modal verbs.
**with ''djeobjeol'', indicates purpose: "in order to VERB"
**with ''ok'' 'from', indicates stopping, avoiding, or preventing from VERBing
**with ''ast'' 'without', indicates "without VERBing" [Dialects may use the ''-a'' infinitive]
*The bare infinitive is mainly used to construct various deranked clauses, like the Biblical Hebrew infinite construct:
**with ''djeo'' 'in', indicates "while the action is taking place" or, when possessed, "while POSSESSOR is VERBing"
**with ''eor'' 'on', indicates "upon/as soon as the action is taking place" or, when possessed,  "upon the POSSESSOR's VERBing"
**with ''nae'' 'by', indicates that the verb's action serves a reason or purpose clause: "by VERBing" or "because of VERBing"
**with ''ok'' 'from', indicates being "beyond VERBing, or preventing from VERBing", or when possessed, "beyond the POSSESSOR's VERBing"
***''Lae mi kai ok neo soela djeo doreuk χjang.'' (be.PRES this much from my do.VN in try one) = This is too much for me to do all at once.
**with the accusative marker ''ljeo'', indicates a complement clause. There are two possible syntaxes for the ''ljeo''-complement clause:
***''ljeo'' + SUBJECT + ''a'' + VERB-''a''
***''ljeo'' + VERB + SUBJECT (possessed verbal noun)
**It is also used to form the [[Anbirese/Syntax#Infinitive_absolute|infinitive absolute]].
 
====Split-ergativity====
Anbirese has split-ergativity: past tense verbs display ergative alignment, and non-past tense verbs have accusative alignment.
 
That is, the subject is marked with the preposition ''u'' for transitive verbs, and is unmarked for intransitive verbs. In the case of transitive verbs, the ergative marking occurs regardless of whether or not there is a direct object. When a direct object is present, the word order becomes VOS.
 
Examples:
{{col-begin}}
{{col-break}}
'''Transitive verbs'''
:''Chabin '''una'''.''
:eat.PRET from-1SG
:'I have eaten.'
 
:''Chabin lagar '''una'''.''
:eat.PRET from-1SG DEF soup
:'I have eaten the soup'
 
:''A tjéobrjeong n keolsjang '''una ''' cha.''
:but leave.PRET ERG 1SG DEF glh_schanng there
:'But I left the ''glh schanng'' (kefir-soaked Bjeheondian salad) there.'
{{col-break}}
'''Intransitive verbs'''
:''Eoseong eo maran.''
:die.PRET DEF tree/PL
:'The trees died.'
 
:''Farjeogin meo noγeol chaltan.''
:return.PRET 1PL.EXC.POSS dog/PL at_last
:'Our dogs finally returned.'
{{col-end}}
 
====Strong verbs====
As in Germanic, some Anbirese verbs form the past tense and the ''-eod'' infinitive by using ablaut.
 
===Copula===
Something complicated like Irish
 
===Pronouns===
na, skid, ang, i, jeo, pe, tid, skid, tar = I, you, he, she, it, we (exc), we (inc), you, they
 
There is also an archaic 2nd person singular pronoun ''fjeor'' 'thou'.
 
===Prepositions===
Prepositions inflect for person as in most Talmic languages.
*''ljeo'' = accusative (ljeo + eo/n > ljeon) (only used with definite nouns in modern {{SUBPAGENAME}}: ''Aeli na ljeon skuir/lje/ljeo Heojad'')
**''ljeona, ljeok, ljang, lje, ljeoz, ljab, ljeof, ljeok, ljur''
*''djeo'' = in (djeo + eo/n > djeon)
**''djeona, djeok, djang, di, djeoz, djab, djeof, djeok, djur''
*''rjeo'' = of
** (possessed forms are used for emaphsis)
*''nae'' = with (inst.)
**''naemna, naebeok, naebang, naepi, naebeoz, naeb, naebeof, naebeok, naebur''
*ae = to, for (ae + eo/n > aen)
**''aemna, aebeok, aebang, aepi, aebeoz, aeb, aebeof, aebeok, aebur''
*''ljang'' = around, about
**''ljangna, ljangeok, ljang, ljanki, ljangeoz, ljangab, ljangeof, ljangeok, ljangur''
*''eor'' = at
**''eorna, eoreok, orang, eri, eoreoz, eorab, eoreof, eoreok, eorur''
*''hjel'' = like
**''hjelna, hjeleok, hjelang, hjeli, hjeleoz, hjelab, hjeleof, hjeleok, hjerur''
*''θrjeo'' = with (comitative)
**''θrina, θrik, θrjang, θri, θriz, θrib, θrif, θrik, θrjur''
*''eor oed'' = against
*''ok'' = from (ok + eo/n > on)
**''ona, okeok, okang, eki, okeoz, okab, okeof, okeok, okur''
 
===Conjunctions===
*''eok'' = and
*''lu'' = xor
 
===Numerals===
====Cardinal====
1-10 = chjang, tjedeor, nask, tob, sol, stang, rvaz, laz, paer, ngjor
 
11, 12, ... = jagjeong, xnae, nask ljang ngjor, tob ljang ngjor, etc.

*-leon = nominalizer of adjectives
*mi- = mis-, pseudo-
