'''Moshurian'''(''uthilikh''; <small>Moshurian:</small> [[IPA for Moshurian|<nowiki>[ | '''Moshurian'''(''uthilikh''; <small>Moshurian:</small> [[IPA for Moshurian|<nowiki>[ˈuð.ilix]</nowiki>]]) is a Tulooric language spoken mostly in Talkoch. It is the most spoken language in Talkoch, and also has significant minority communities on [[Etzeá|Etzeán]] Island, the Iśatúr Confederacy and the Eastern Gegfen Alliance, also called the ''Dmuriékh''(lit. "far away east"). It is the sole official language of the Moshurian Empire, and is widely used administratively and academically in the Moshurian Empire. | ||
Moshurian is a mostly agglutinative language, with fusional features like particles. It is an OSV language with a free noun-adjective order and a paroxytonic stress pattern. | Moshurian is a mostly agglutinative language, with fusional features like particles.

====Romanisation==== | |||
Modern Moshurian romanisation was unstandardised before 400 BH. Before this, various systems were used, most influenced by other Latin scripts or romanisations, though the Turkic-inspired Ügna system began to take prominence shortly before standardisation. | |||
After 400 BH, the newly created Ministry of Linguistic Regulation was tasked in finding or creating a new standard. Ügna, as well as linguist Čohmečo(known for his work on the Lakota and Albanian-inspired Čhehiyapi system) were scouted to work together on a new standard, though they struggled to work together and both quit the project early on. Wişáskoŋ, an amateur neoscript enthusiast, then combined the two systems into the modern Moshurian Romanisation System(''Uthilikh Romàdeşk Goşigë'', <small>Moshurian:</small> [[Help:IPA|[ˈuð.ilix ɽomˈə̃d.ɛʃk goˈʃi.gɪ]]]). | |||
Though Ügna's system was used as the primary template, various features characteristic of Ügna were switched to their Čhehiyapi counterpart such as the glyph for /ɪ/ changing from the [[w:Kazakh language|Kazakh]] [[w:Dotless I|dotless I]], ⟨ı⟩, from Ügna to the Albanian [[w:Ë|e-diaeresis]], ⟨ë⟩ from Čhehiyapi. | |||
Čhehiyapi's signature use of ⟨ŋ⟩ to represent the phoneme of the same symbol was also swapped in from Ügna's use of ⟨ñ⟩, a feature again taken from Kazakh. | |||

The Loïha dialect is the dialect of Moshurian speakers who reside in the Golden Plain. Loïha is possibly the most distinct but still intelligible dialect of Moshurian. This is because there are very few morphological differences, but quite large sound changes. | The Loïha dialect is the dialect of Moshurian speakers who reside in the Golden Plain. Loïha is possibly the most distinct but still intelligible dialect of Moshurian. This is because there are very few morphological differences, but quite large sound changes. | ||
A major feature of Loïha vernacular that distinguishes it from the standard is that the phonemes /e/ and /i/ are pronounced the same, usually either one or the other. In IPA this is often written as [e~i]. | |||
The Loïha dialect is also often split into two groups of dialects: Eastern and Western Loïha. Eastern tends to conform more with the standard, and Western tends to diverge more. | |||
