Psér(ēago ebēsri) is one of the oldest Gadaïc languages in Talkoch. It is one of the only modern Gadaïc languages that still mostly derive from Paleogadaic, as opposed to Proto-Gadaïc which all other Gadaïc languages derive from. Its alphabet, the Pséri alphabet, is one of the oldest in Radael, and modified versions of it are used in Ösrish, Arnic and Isali. Some languages like Mezco are directly descended from Psér, which can be seen in sentences like nœ yago ridyær(Mezco, "we have food") and Psér nŭ yako ildeā.
History
The Pséri people originate in the Fāsei Basin, from Paleogadaic peoples who migrated south from the Loïkar Basin. Around 2500 UH, they began expanding away from the Fāsei, settling in the Mezcof Basin and eastern Gadah. Centuries later in 283 BH, in what the Psér would eventually call the Faa Massacre due to most operations occuring in the Psér-majority city of Faa, almost all ethnic Pséris or those who spoke Psér natively or as a second language were driven out of the Mezcof Basin by Moshurian authorities, in response to the assassination of a Moshurian official in the city of Barvád by Pséri resistance. Many fled to the Psér nations/reservations of Briŭyeg and Tusgŭ, but the influx of immigrants severely damaged the local economy.
Thus, in 290 BH Moshurian occupation authorities signed the Treaty of Dilthui, where nations such as Briŭyeg deported thousands of the new Psér migrants to the relatively empty and newly conquered Tugcher Region in the Moshurian Empire. What followed was what many call the Golŭ Massacre, where Briŭyeg, Tusgŭ and Moshurian authorities all began deporting new arrivals en masse to the Tugcher Region, which was far west from their homelands in the Fāsei, and thousands died on the trek there.
Phonology
Orthography
Psér uses a modified version of one of the oldest alphabets in Radael, the Ancient Gadir alphabet. The notable differences between the original alphabet with the Pséri alphabet is that glottal stops have their own symbols, and vowels with diacritics(ŭ for example) also have their own symbols.
Some symbols, like the symbol for æ and œ, are exclusive to Mezco which also uses the Pséri alphabet, although Mezco also uses the Moshurian alphabet.

Dialects
Psérg
Psérgi is the standard dialect of Psér. It is mostly derived from various dialects spoken by deportees during the Faa Massacre. These various dialects mixed to become the singular dialect spoken in Psérg and the general Tugcher Region, which was then chosen by the SEE as the standard dialect of Standard Psér.
Tusgŭ
Tusgŭ is the dialect spoken in Tusgŭ and minority communities in Xŭthi. It is one of the oldest dialects, and the Pséri alphabet was designed with the Tusgŭ dialect in mind. It is considered, in the Minŭre religion, as the holiest of Psér dialects.
Miskŭ
Miskŭ is the dialect mainly spoken in Briŭyeg. It's name comes from the Psér name for the Mezcof Basin, and it has had some influence on Mezco.
Eastern Hyrîaow
Eastern Hyrîaow is the only dialect that is no longer spoken by any Psér speaker(L2 or native), and is named after the Hyrîaow mountain range. The notable differences between standard Psér is that /e/ was instead pronounced /æ/, and ŭ tended to be pronounced /œ/. These differences eventually mixed with Mezecki, eventually forming a creole in the Mezcof, which later became known as Mezco.
