-'''Wibian''' is a descendant of [[Old Wibian]], inspired by [[Allemañisch]].
+'''Modern Aquitanian''' (''mw'Akiteenuvèlw'' /mɨʔakitɛ̃nu'velɨ/ or ''mw'Akitee aipo'' /mɨʔaki'tɛ̃ ai'po/) is spoken in western France in [[Lõis]], and despite the name, it's a language isolate unrelated to Basque. Its phonology and grammar shaped the evolution of Modern Standard French.
-*''Nu miuden laz querde fon hling./Nu bimiuden querde fon hling.'' = (''informal'') You speak of love and hate.
+==History==
-==Phonology==
-Curiously, Wibian phonology is quite similar to [[Eevo]] phonology, similar to the relationship between Mandarin and English phonology.
-===Orthography===
-===Consonants===
+The origins of Modern Aquitanian are shrouded in mystery; it's a common belief among non-linguists that Modern Aquitanian is a remnant of the earliest languages spoken in Europe, before the Indo-European invasion.

+Most of Aquitanian vocabulary has unknown origins though some words are believed to be loans from extinct Indo-European languages. There is evidence that Aquitanian may be related to the pre-Germanic and pre-Greek substrate languages, mostly in the form of shared vocabulary and affixes (for example, the word for "legume", ''eduvee'', bears considerable resemblance to the Greek word ''erebinthos'' for "pea", believed to be of non-Indo-European origin). Modern French loanwords are common in formal registers of Aquitanian.

-*/h/ may be written as either {{angbr|''h''}} or {{angbr|''ch''}}; it is pronounced [x] after consonants.
-===Vowels===
+==Todo==
-vowels: /a ə i u ɔ~aʊ ɛ~aɪ e~eɪ o~oʊ/, ~ denotes alternation.
-The Wibian alternation is conditioned by the following rule:
+Relex and (slightly) exaggerate polysynthetic analyses of French
-*diphthongs before /ʔ, s, ŋ/ OR before nasals
+''plee'': brick
-*monophthongs otherwise?
-The alternants are marginally phonemic, e.g. before consonants that don't alternate like /l, h/.
+''paxìlyw'': monarch
-It originally came from the rule "diphthongs in closed syllables, monophthongs in open syllables" (plus diphthongization before /n, s/). This alternation operates after r, -nj > j and attendant vowel coloring.
+''uakee'': hyacinth
-===Prosody===
+''thazaa'': arena (Proto-Aquitanian *tʰažānā, borrowed into Greek as θρόνος and into Etruscan as hasēna)
-====Stress====
-====Intonation====
-===Phonotactics===
+''eetemixyoo'': intermission (from French)
-Wibian phonotactics are simple; the maximal syllable is C(j)VC.
-===Morphophonology===
+==Syntax==
-====Liaison====
-====Sandhi====
+Modern Aquitanian is agglutinating and head-initial, and features an Austronesian-style alignment system which is atypical of European languages.
-After a word-final orthographic ''s'', /b d g/ turn into their tense counterparts /p˭ t˭ k˭/.
+Cases:
+*direct: honorific ''ta-'', non-honorific unmarked
+*indirect: honorific ''khu-'', non-honorific ''vi-''
+*genitive: honorific ''xa-'', non-honorific ''mw-''
+*oblique: ''la-''
+*lative: ''va-''
+*locative: ''the-''
+*ablative: ''xee-''
+*comitative: ''zau-''
+*abessive: ''voo-''
-====Alternations upon suffixation====
+==Numerals==
-==Morphology==
+# (xoo)ve /sɔ̃'ve/
-Words derived from the inherited honorific system replaces pronouns almost completely. Pronouns are an open class as in Japanese. The pronoun ''nu'' /nu/ (~ [[Sjowaazheñ]] ''nyaa'', [[Thensarian]] ''nā'', [[Eevo]] ''naw''), though, still survives in modern Wibian - as a ''second''-person pronoun!
