-'''{{PAGENAME}}''' (''Dîthâabh'' /ɖiː˧˩θ{{ret}}aːaβ˥˩/) is a language of [[Verse:Méich Bhaonnáiqh]] (Bech Baddochaqh?) inspired by Iau, Proto-Lakes Plain, Dinka, Formor's avian conlang C’ą̂ą́r and Semitic languages (particularly chanted Tiberian Hebrew). It's the ceremonial language of a group of uplifted parrots of the space colony Bădháchôth. (Most other uplifted passerines speak languages that sound much more exotic to humans due to the more limited number of humanlike consonant sounds they can produce.)

 == Background ==
-Assumptions about the birds' vocal tracts:
-* The birds are parrots; unlike other passerines they have internal tongue muscles, allowing them to pronounce retroflexes
-* Their tongues are pointed but can still be widened to make stops
-* They can produce tongue height
-Ditab is a ceremonial language and doesn't use all the things the avian syrinx can do. Depending on the parrot species, uplifted parrot vernaculars may use syrinx articulations, use more register and tone contrasts or even produce two pitches at once.
