| '''Amphirese''' (''amphirim'' /amphirim/) is a major Talmic language descended from [[Tigol]], inspired by Welsh, Korean, Etruscan, Romani, and the Slavic languages. Compared to [[Eevo]], it has a relatively conservative verb system. On the planet of [[Verse:Tricin|Tricin]] ({{SUBPAGENAME}}: ''i Smaoukh'' /i smaukh/), it is an analogue of German in terms of influence and grammar. {{SUBPAGENAME}} is the official language of the Talman nation [[Verse:Tricin/Amphir|Amphir]] and of former colonies in Cualuav and Txapoalli; after [[Eevo]], it is the second-largest Talmic language in terms of number of speakers, though most modern speakers know Eevo. Like most modern Talmic languages, {{SUBPAGENAME}} is a descendant of [[Thensarian]]. Like with German, there is a Standard Anvirese and various regiolects.

| Thanks in large part to the printing press, Modern {{SUBPAGENAME}} rapidly gained prominence over a larger area in Northern Talma and came to serve as a lingua franca for northern mainland Talma. Today, {{SUBPAGENAME}} still enjoys status as a "cultured" language and is one of the most widely taught foreign languages.

| This language began as ''Tíogall'', which was a thought experiment posing the question "What would Irish look like with umlaut instead of palatalization?". For a while it developed as an Irish-German hybrid. At one point I decided to remove all "giblangs" from modern Tricin, or languages with the aesthetics of one natlang (unless the premise was funny, like [[Bhlaoighne]] or [[Clofabosin]]). Since Tíogall was basically an Irish with German characteristics, it was abandoned. I still felt that Talmic languages needed somewhat more internal diversity (in particular, a "German" analogue to Eevo's "English"), so I decided to revive this project as "Anvyrese" or "Anvirese". One thing that was still nagging me was that the grammar was still too German for a country with a Germany-like history, so I decided to swap a minority Tigolic language "Tumaka" with "Anvirese", and this is the result.

| ==Morphology==
| | Maybe tjeolli or tjeollu for pl construct |
| ===Mutations===
| |
| Tumaka has no mutation; instead, former feminine nouns often begin in an aspirated consonant, as a result of lenition after the definite article. (cf. [[Eevo]], where former feminine nouns begin in different consonants than former masculine nouns.)
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Nouns===
| | Possessive suffixes should be easy to get, fortunately |
| Nouns only have two states (absolute and construct) and two numbers (singular and plural). The usual affixes are:
| |
| *plural absolute: ''-r''
| |
| *singular construct: ''-(y)th''
| |
| *plural construct: ''-(y)ph''
| |
|
| |
|
| e.g. ''cuthr'' 'flower', ''cuthryr'' 'flowers'; ''chufn'' 'woman', ''chufnyr'' 'women'.
| | Though they might induce final changes like tjeoll becoming tjeol |
|
| |
|
| The definite article is always ''i'', or ''in'' before a V.
| | stjanng /ɕâk̚ŋ̊/ 'color', sjeong-stjangen /ɧʌ̂ŋɕáŋèn/ 'sky blue' |
|

|
| ===Verbs=== | | ==Phonology== |
| Tumaka verbs have two tenses (nonpast and past) and two aspects (imperfective and perfective). The imperfective-perfective distinction is characterized by the absolute-conjunct allomorphy inherited from [[Tigol]]. As in Slavic languages, the perfective form is often derived by adding a prefix, which causes the verb to take the conjunct form. Most Tumaka verbs thus have two principal parts: imperfective and perfective.
| | ===Consonants=== |
| | *'''k g ng''' /k{{h}} k ŋ/ |
| | *'''tj dj nj''' /tɕ{{h}} tɕ ɲ/ |
| | *'''t d þ n''' /t{{h}} t θ n/ |
| | *'''p b f v m''' /p{{h}} p f v~w m/ |
| | *'''s sj stj h''' /s ɧ ɕ h/ |
| | *'''r l -d j''' /ɾ l ð j/ |
|
| |
|
| An example of the aspect allomorphy:
| | [w] is an allophone of hard /v/ after consonants. |
|
| |
|
| *'to tell': imperfective ''boŋi'', perfective ''simŋi''
| | /t d tʰ s z n/ are dental(ized). |
| *'to eat': imperfective ''dzecai'', perfective ''iŋcu''
| |
|
| |
|
| Unlike Eevo verbs, Amphirese verbs inflect by person.
| | ===Vowels=== |
| | Anbirese has 7 vowel phonemes. ''ni ti thi ki di gi'' are read as ''nji tji thji kji dji gji''. |
