| ==Introduction==
| |
| '''{{PAGENAME}}''' (''Ġweh-Mēung'' /qʷˁʼeː35 mɔʏŋ55/) is a relatively conservative [[Wiebian]] lect descended from [[Middle Wiebian]], and a close relative of [[Wirne]]. It is a tonal language inspired by German, Buyang, Chinese, and of course the Archi word ''qʷˁʼe'' ('two').
