| '''Feiden''' is a [[Wiobic languages|Wiobic language]] inspired by Indo-Iranian languages and English. It turns the palatal series of Proto-Wiobic into a sibilant series.

| Modern Feiden is an official language of the Bjeheondian country of [[Verse:Tricin/Tumhan|Tumhan]], and of the [[Verse:Tricin/USB|USB]] states of Plüeng Dăfngathney and Plüeng Srăchiem Tsărir.

| ==Phonology==
| |
| | |
| Umlaut in Feiden works like Welsh; there is both i- and a- umlaut but no u-umlaut. It's no longer productive in the modern language.
| |
| | |
| Because the oldest stage of Feiden underwent a vowel shift where Proto-Wiobic *e ee o oo became a aa a aa respectively, Feiden has a small vowel inventory by Wiobic standards (roughly the size of English or Rhythoed).

| | |
| ==Morphology==
| |
| | |
| Feiden is analytic like Tsjoen, and has developed head-initial tendencies due to contact with Hlou-Shum languages (read: "Hlou-Shum people learning an older stage badly")
| |
| | |
| ==Lexicon==
| |
| | |
| The Feiden lexicon has been heavily influenced by the neighboring Hlou-Shum languages, especially Shumian. Shumian words are often used in advanced vocabulary in Feiden as they are easy to compound (c.f. Sino-Korean).
