'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a language in the [[Tie-Dye languages|Tie-Dye]] family. It's inspired by my older draft of [[Ancient Wiebian]], titled "Wiobian".

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' (''wee-OH-bee-ən''; ''Wiobem-Nkahn'' or colloquially ''Wiob-Nkahn'') is a conlang loosely inspired by Old High German, Old English and Khmer.


''ßan, eir, buhz, jåhnß, ßengeŕ, zühnt, ntöü, nuot, ngiet, sråht'' [san, eir, ɓuːc, jɔːⁿs, ˈseŋəɹ, cyːⁿt, ⁿdøy, nuət, ŋiət, çrɔːt]
Numbers: ßoz, klie, skah, moj, fah, ies, nteht, nuot, ngaht, ziu


''dei'' = 'land' (< ''kataay''?)
''ma'' = negative


y-, r- > s?
''nkelei Piontels je Bojels.'' = I speak of love and hate.


ly, ny > j
''Plünkßne'' = feather
==Idea==
A "Sinospheric Finnish", or "Chinese with cases"


rn, rt, rnt, rl > ń, z, ńz, ŕ
==Phonology==
 
===Orthography===
ʟ > g
Wiobian is written in an orthography created by King Kait Niumer (modern Wiobian: ''Houger Niumer Kait''; ''Kait'' is the family name).


tj, ntj > ß, nß
in wiobian Orthography, only Nouns are capitalized; first Words in Sentences are not capitalized unless they are Nouns.


rr > r
q > q /ʔ/
nq > ng
ʀ > h

Most of the time, the stress falls on the first syllable. Exceptions are sesquisyllables that result from epenthesis of initial consonant clusters.

Plurals are formed with ''nto'', so: ''nto Nßäht'' (trees), ''nto Nßähtem'' (of trees), ...
Old {{PAGENAME}} used ''-er'' as an accusative and ''-el'' for both the illative and inessive.
===Article===
The equivalent of the definite article in {{PAGENAME}} is a classifier (as in Hmong), but it's placed after the noun and carries the case marker. The noun before a classifier is prescriptively in the genitive case, but it's often dropped.
* ''Nßäht kothem'' (presc. and in older {{PAGENAME}} ''Nßähtem kothem'') 'of the tree'
* ''Nßähtem'' 'of a tree'

Case suffixes attach to ''si-, tah-, mei-,'' and ''wäh-'' respectively:
''sim Mpahng'' = my hand;
''sils'' = from me; about me
===Verbs===
Verbs don't inflect.
Action nouns are formed with the suffix ''-(e)me'', from the genitive clitic followed by an eroded form of ''ion'' (to do). For example: ''Leime'' = speaking
===Ideophones===
Like Japanese and Korean, Wiobian uses ideophones. Ideophones may be used both informally and formally.
*''nungnung'' 'enormous'
*''behdgehd'' 'of slow and reluctant action'
*''ntåkpdåk'' 'hustle and bustle; of hurrying'
*''ngolmol'' 'of boiling liquid'
*''quorquär'' 'of anxiety'
*''klah'' 'ta-da!'
*''jaz'' 'of tightness and security; of exactness'
**e.g. ''jaz skahb'' 'exactly three; just three'
*''nquäh'' 'vaguely, without much effort; approximately'
*''djring'' 'zoom, of an engine noise'
*''ziekziok'' 'in small steps'
Ideophones are often used as adjectives or adverbs. Example:
:''Mpeid tei quorquär.''
:this COP ~ANXIETY
:This makes me feel uneasy.
===Derivational morphology===
*''-ed'' = agentive
*''be-'' = applicative
*''en-'' = passive/reflexive
*''deß-'' = causative
==Syntax==
The unmarked word order in {{PAGENAME}} is SVO. Due to the influence of [[Tsjoen]], Modern {{PAGENAME}} is quite strict about it (though objects could be fronted for emphasis).
Serial verbs are also common in {{PAGENAME}}; all verbs but the last in a serial verb chain are in the ablative.


====Object affixes====
''mpa fiuntens lei.'' = He came and spoke.
