	Like Dhannuá, Finian also exhibits anaptyxis ~~(the addition of vowel sounds)~~ but in more widespread environments. Finian does not appear to allow syllable onset clusters nor consonant clusters ~~between~~ word boundaries inserting a vowel to break these up (''a'', ''i''). Finian ''v'''a'''lar'' "flower" is the typical example showing a-insertion between ~~v and l~~, cf. Dhannuán ''bhlór'' with no intruding ''a''. A similar phenomenon ~~appears~~ to occur at word boundaries~~, when~~ consonant-final words ~~encounter another~~ consonant ~~right after~~ an i-insertion occurs between them, as in the question ''ist an '''i'''sa mii'' (lit. 'is that at me?', "Do I have it?") with the ''i'' inserted before ''sa''. This does not occur in with ''sa'' but with ''mii'' in the answer: ''sa ist imii'' (lit. 'that one is at me', "I have it").

	Finian was a Lúsanic language spoken in northern Europe from the fourth century until the second century BCE when ~~remains of~~ it ~~disappear~~.

	Many of the idiosyncrasies of Finian have to do with the resulting development of these newly produced stops. Generally, these stops undergo fricativization resulting in the voiced fricatives /β/ and /ɣ/. Some speakers though, appear to have replaced /β/ with /v/ as in /'vala:r/ ('flower') attested from inscriptions (there rendered as {{smallcaps\|uualaar}}).

	While quite similar to the Dhannic languages in many aspects, there are some striking differences. One of the most noticeable is the shifting of several inherited stops from Finio-Dhannic. In Finian, this development first described by Indo-European linguist Berthold von Walden manifests in its earliest stages as a fricativization of the unvoiced stops, while the voiced stops series devoice thus taking their places. Cf. the reconstructed Proto-Lúsanic *~~pen-ja-r-ōs~~ with Finian ''finyarar'' ('that which is of the bog', 'bog-y') and its Dhannuán cognate ''penniaros'' which does not display the consonant shift (retaining ''p'').
