'''Tizian''' is an Elvish language in Tsayfuan's fantasy setting. I was inspired by Burmese and Welsh.

===Alliterative poetry===
Tizian poems traditionally use rhythmic alliteration:
# the beginning syllables of sub-lines, e.g. in the pattern a ... | a ...
# syllables within lines or sub-lines, e.g. a _ a _ ‖ b _ b _ ‖ c _ c _ ‖ d _ d _
# the above two may be combined, e.g. a _ a ... | b _ b ... ‖ b _ b ... | c _ c ... ‖ c _ c ... | d _ d ...


Non-traditional alliteration schemes are used in modern poetry and in whimsical, quasi-Hofstadterian "riddle poems".
