	Stress in Ludovian mostly follows the same stress patterns typical of Western Romance languages. If the final syllable is open (ending on a vowel), stress is paroxytonic (on the second-to-last syllable); otherwise, it is oxytonic (on the final syllable). If a word strays from this pattern, the stressed vowel is marked with a [[w:Grave accent\|grave accent]]: ⟨à è ì ò ù⟩. Additionally, verb endings are always stressed.

	'''Ludovian''' (''ludovin'', ''lingùa ludovina'' [[~~Help:~~IPA\|[ludoˈvin]]]), historically also called '''Ludovin''' or '''Ludovic''', is a [[w:Western Romance languages\|Western Romance]] language spoken by the Ludovians native to the Kingdom of Ludovia (Ludovian: ''Rià Ludovina''). Ludovian developed as a distinct language from [[w:Old Gallo-Romance language\|Old Gallo-Romance]] after the establishment of the Kingdom of Ludovia by King Ludovic I, where it developed into Old Ludovic and eventually modern Ludovian.
