In Verse:Angai, Dylathian is an extremely conservative Trans-Sarnathian language (branch of the Akya-Woms family including Zzean) with a Welsh-like grammar and aesthetic. Dylathian is spoken in the Sarnathian mountain range in the borderlands of Aem-Zmaə, which contains Mt. ___, the highest mountain in Angai. Like its neighboring relatives, Dylathian is considered vital for reconstructing the early history of the Trans-Sarnathian branch.

Phonology
Generally Welshy phonology but with ejectives and affricates; penultimate stress with vowel alternations attesting to earlier ultimate stress
Grammar
"Colloquial Welsh with classifiers"
Nouns
Most nouns have an unmarked form and a marked form that is only used for indefinite singular nouns. For the definite article, the appropriate classifier is used; the number is marked on the classifier.
Numerals
There is no isolated word for "one". When counting you use a word that was formerly "once/an occurrence" (cf. Slavic raz dva tri...). Otherwise, the singular indefinite form of the noun in question is used, when necessary emphasized with __ 'only'.
TAM auxiliaries
Inflected for person and number (inherited from Proto-Trans-Sarnathian)
Verbs
The word order is "T1 S T2 V O".
