Ciêng (KEE-əng; natively: /kīəŋ/, Windermere: Cieng) is a tonal Ashanic language spoken in Tumhan, inspired by Vietnamese and Welsh. ("What if Vietnamese were rhotic?") It is closely related to Classical Windermere but is not a direct descendant of it.
Diachronics
TODO: cluster reflexes
Waaay before Grimm's law, thus b p were still voiced and tenuis stops > p + low resp. high tone classes
Khmmerization BEFORE tone split
Numbers: thon, rhã, ziêu, chôi, mượr, tảy
whếp = light
whì = dust
Rhìa whươn mì Whền Whết = I live in Whehli (means something different with different tones)
lieb "to put" ~ lliệm
dưan tlẹ = to thank in Ciêng?
tlẹ could be cognate to tănlea "to refuse", dưan is cognate to Windermere şän
chổi = reflexive pronoun
thỏi = learn (~ snoach)
rêng = net
truồng = long
