'''Whetmer''' (English: /ˈʍɛtmər/ ''WHET-mer''; natively: ''in wékar whetmer'' /in wiəkəɭ ʍɛtmɛɭ/, from [[Naquian]] ''in huēyacaz uehmiz'') is the most divergent present day Naquic language spoken in the country of Whetmer. It's somewhat Faroese inspired.
'''Whetmer''' (English: /ˈʍɛtməɹ/ ''WHET-mer''; natively: ''in whâyacar whetmer'' /in ʍaˈjəkəɻ ˈʍɛʔmɛɻ/, from [[Naquian]] ''in huēyacaz huehmiz'') is the most divergent present day Naquic language, a minority language in Hetom. It's somewhat Faroese-, Sardinian- and Malagasy-inspired.
 
==External history==
Whetmer used to be an English giblang with clicks. I decided to use the name for a divergent Naquic language that has the /ʍ/ sound.

'''i í u ú e é o ó æ ǽ a á''' /i i: u u: e iə ə o uə æ æj ə ɑ:/
'''i î u û e ê o ô ai a â''' /i ui u iu e iə ə o uə ai ə a/; '''w y''' is used for devoiced /u i/.
 
After a stressed syllable, as at the end of most words and in the final two syllables of some, /u, i/ are reduced to [ʷ, ʲ]. Final /a/, and sometimes final syllables, are devoiced at the end of an utterance.


==Grammar==
==Grammar==
Unlike other Naquic languages, Whehmer preserves much of Naquic declension. The syntax is also more head-initial.
