'''{{PAGENAME}}''' [ʃɛj˨˩ ʔɑː˩˩ mɪː˧˥], or the '''Ami language''', is a divergent [[Thean|Theic]] language (in the [[Trans-Sarnathian languages|Trans-Sarnathian family]]). It is inspired by Navajo.

== Todo ==
'''{{SUBPAGENAME}}''' (/ˈθiːən/, natively ''shre̬n Thídh'') is inspired by Northern Athabaskan languages. It is head-initial and SVO.
yaazh⁵⁵ /jɑːɻ˥˥/ = treble harp, which can be used to communicate in a musical form of this language over long distances


== Phonology ==
''Thean'' is derived from ''Zzea'' /θīə/, the Qua pronunciation of the place name ''Thídh''.
 
Thean is natively written in a deep orthography reflecting Classical Thean pronunciation.
 
== Phonology of Alliance Neo-Thean ==
Alliance Neo-Thean is one of the more conservative varieties of Modern Thean. Other Thean lects have lost some or all finals.

-p -t -k -m -n -dh -l -y -r /-p̚ -t̚ -k̚ -m -n -ŋ -ð̠˕ -l -j -ɻ/ (null is allowed)


/-N/ is realized as nasalization of the preceding vowel
-p and -m finals are only found in words that don't go back to Proto-Theic.


Nuclei are lengthened before the zero coda or /-N/; hence short and long vowel + these codas are phonetically long and overlong vowels respectively
=== Tone ===
Alliance Neo-Thean has 9 phonemic tones (shamelessly stolen from Kam):
