'''{{SUBPAGENAME}}''' (''n gaz Anbirjeong'' /ən gǎz ànbirjəm/ [ànbírjəm]) is a major [[Talmic]] language descended from [[Tigol]], inspired by Sino-Korean, Swedish, and Welsh. compared to its relatives [[Skellan]] and [[Ciètian]], it has a relatively conservative verb system. On the planet of [[Verse:Tricin|Tricin]] ({{SUBPAGENAME}}: ''n Smau'' /ən smau/), it is an analogue of German in terms of influence. {{SUBPAGENAME}} is the official language of the Talman countries [[Verse:Tricin/Anbir|Anbir]] and [[Verse:Tricin/Musun|Musun]] and of former colonies in Cualuav and Txapoalli; it is the second-largest Talmic language in terms of number of speakers. Like most modern Talmic languages, {{SUBPAGENAME}} is a descendant of [[Thensarian]]. Like with German, there is a Standard {{SUBPAGENAME}} and various regiolects.
Anglo-Swedo-Icelando-Sino-Korean jokelang; include a xenic layer from a Pama-Nyungan-like language Dårle


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 in the Bitaletan world.
milveol1 'bear'
==External history==
{{SUBPAGENAME}} began as "Tsjoen", a Swedish and Sino Korean hybrid. The grammar is heavily based on my first Tiogall draft.


==Todo==
þik1 ’to exist; (with subject) to have’
*ot, od > vat, vad
*Numbers: kjam, tjeodeor, nask, dyv, solj, stam, rvað, lað, berb, ngjor, jachim, kne
*scaimh 'mountain' > skeγ
*obey < TELIC + 'listen' (like in Þiús'k)
*Conjunctions that take pronominal suffixes, like Arabic ''ʔinna'' and ''ʔanna'' (or maybe Bhlaoighne)
*Swadesh list
*Tigol > {{SUBPAGENAME}} sound changes
<poem>
plus, {{SUBPAGENAME}} has "accusativus in infinitivo"!
le could be omitted before indefinite nouns in modern {{SUBPAGENAME}}
but Maith Sivy always used it
that's one way of distinguishing archaic from modern {{SUBPAGENAME}}
another could be the use of the pronoun 'fiar'
which in modern {{SUBPAGENAME}} was completely replaced with 'scid'
ca-ephyth = of that
ca-leth = that (acc.)
ca-dzeth = in that; there
ma-, ca-, ta-, m-compounds: this, that, what, which
in that house = ca-dzen souar
or "dze cin souar"
both are valid
the first being more archaic

<sup>*</sup>The clusters written ''sp'', ''st'', ''sc'' do not mutate.
Final stops have a distinction between nasally released vs. unreleased (-mm -nn -nng vs. -p -t -k)


===Vowels===
stje /ɕé/ 'money'
'''i eu u e eo a o ae oe''' /i ɨ ü e ʌ~ɔ a o~u ɛ~e ø/
skjö /skjœ̂/ 'rope'


''eo'' is /ə/ when unstressed.
'll need some Swedish/English-y forms like e.g. tjeolla (my), tjeolls (3sg's), tjeollen (sg. construct), tjeollar (thy), tjeollths (3pl's)


===Stress===
Maybe tjeolli or tjeollu for pl construct
Stress is weak to nonexistent in Modern Anbirese.


===Pitch accent===
Possessive suffixes should be easy to get, fortunately
Pitch accent is phonemic in Standard Anbirese, and often distinguishes different grammatical forms of the same word.


Each word has one of two possible pitch accents:
Though they might induce final changes like tjeoll becoming tjeol
#Rising (or low, or peaking): starts low and rises, peaks at the second syllable; unmarked
#High: high and level, falls off word-finally, transcribed with an acute accent


For example:
stjanng /ɕâk̚ŋ̊/ 'color', sjeong-stjangen /ɧʌ̂ŋɕáŋèn/ 'sky blue'
*''skaen'' /skěn/ (rising tone) = 'a friend (sg)'; ''n skaen'' /ən skěn/ = 'the friend'
*''skáen'' /skén/ (high tone) = 'friends (pl)'; ''n skáen'' /ən skén/ = 'the friends'
*''ael'' (rising tone) = 'loves (present tense)'
*''áel'' (high tone) = 'loved (past tense)'
A handful of dialects lack pitch accent.


===Intonation===
== Proto-Anbiric ==
*General fall: declarative clauses
Have vowel length
*General rise: dependent clauses
*Interrogative: interrogative clauses


==Dialectology==
-ŭs suffix (''-ur'' in [[Twetho]]; final fortition in Anbirese)
Anbirese is primarily spoken in Anbir, Musun and in overseas Anbirese colonies such as Euldondjama.
===Anbir===
Anbir has more dialectal diversity.
===Musun===
Musunese Anbir is similar to Standard Anbirese Anbirese, but has no pitch accent and uses more analytic constructions.


==Orthography==
==Phonology==
Like other Talmic languages, Anbirese is written in the Talmic alphabet.
===Initials===
Simple initials:
*'''k g''' /k{{h}} k/
*'''tj/þj 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 j''' /ɾ l j/


==Vocabulary==
[w] is an allophone of hard /v/ after consonants.
Anbirese is about as purist as German, though it has a fair helping of [[Swuntsim]] loanwords. Anbirese vocabulary often uses compounding to disambiguate words that were made similar by dueum beopchik. Like in other Talman languages, academic vocabulary has more [[Tseer]] and [[Windermere]] loans.


==Morphology==
/t d tʰ s n/ are dental(ized).
===Mutations===
Like Qenian, Anbirese has lenition and nasal mutation.


===Nouns===
Initial clusters: '''(s)kj gj (s)pj bj fj (s)mj rj (s)lj snj hj (s)kr gr kl gl kn hn hnj hl hlj hr hrj fr fl br bl (s)tr dr krj grj klj glj frj flj brj blj (s)trj drj knj'''
Like its relative [[Ciètian]], Anbirese has three genders for nouns (masculine, feminine, and neuter).
====Definite article====
Regardless of gender and number, the definite article is
*''eo'' before nasals and resonants: ''eo mar'' [ə̀ mǎɾ] 'the tree'
*''n'' before other consonants and before vowels: ''n χeozir'' [ə̀n xə̀ʑîɾ] 'the flower'; ''n abeot'' [nàbə̂t] 'the book'


TODO: definite article mutations by gender
===Nuclei===
Anbirese has 7 vowel phonemes. ''ni ti thi ki di gi'' are read as ''nji tji thji kji dji gji''.

| '''i''' /i/
|}
| '''u''' /ü/
 
| '''eu''' [ɨ]
====Plural nouns====
| '''o''' /o~u/
A common way to pluralize nouns is by tone change. This is the default paradigm for loans.
 
*''mar'' /mǎɾ/ [mǎɾ] = a tree
*''már'' /máɾ/ [mâɾ] = trees
 
However, many plurals use suffixes or other changes:
*''íms'' /íms/ [îms] = a loved one
*''imseot'' /ǐmsət/ [ìmsə̂t] = loved ones (some dialects use ''ímseot'')
 
Musunese Anbirese always uses ''-eot'' for the plural.
<!--
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. ''cythr'' 'flower', ''cythryr'' 'flowers'; ''chyvn'' 'woman', ''chyvnyr'' 'women'.
 
The definite article is always ''i'', or ''in'' before a V or after a preposition.
 
Possessive suffixes: mar-na, mar-s, mar-ou, mar-i, mar-yth, mar-ym, mar-fe, mar-yc, mar-ur (or mar-thur)
 
Plural: mar-ph-yna, mar-ph-s, mar-ph-ou, mar-ph-i, ...
 
''i marna'' = my tree
 
''i cythr suvn-yna'' = my beautiful flower
-->
 
===Adjectives===
Predicate adjectives are uninflected. Attributive adjectives agree with nouns in gender and number by mutations.
 
Adverbs derived from adjectives are unchanged (as in German).

===Verbs===
=== Tone ===
Verbs are conservative and similar to [[Ciètian]], with synthetic forms instead of analytic constructions as in [[Skellan]].
Like Swedish, Anbirese has two tones/pitch accents. In monosyllables, tone 2 is realized as glottalization; in polysyllabic words, the two tones are realized as Swedish tones 1 and 2.
====Finite verb inflection====
Anbirese has 3 tenses:
*Present tense: ''-ig'', negative ''θri'' + IMPERATIVE
*Future tense: ''aeb'' + IMPERATIVE
*Past tense: regularly ''-in''; induces split-ergativity
 
There is no aspect distinction.
 
===="Non-finite" forms====
*The ''-eod'' infinitive is used with some modal verbs.
**with ''djeobjeol'', indicates purpose: "in order to VERB"
**with ''ok'' 'from', indicates stopping, avoiding, or preventing from VERBing
**with ''ast'' 'without', indicates "without VERBing" [Dialects may use the ''-a'' infinitive]
*The ''-a'' infinitive is mainly used to construct deranked time clauses (like the Biblical Hebrew bi- + infinite construct), and also
**with ''djeo'' 'in', indicates "while the action is taking place" or, when possessed, "while POSSESSOR is VERBing"
**with ''eor'' 'on', indicates "upon/as soon as the action is taking place" or, when possessed,  "upon the POSSESSOR's VERBing"
**with ''nae'' 'by', indicates that the verb's action serves a purpose: "by VERBing"
**with ''ok'' 'from', indicates a reason clause
**with the accusative marker ''ljeo'', indicates a complement clause. There are two possible syntaxes for the ''ljeo''-complement clause:
***''ljeo'' + SUBJECT + ''seo/s'' + VERB-''a''
***''ljeo'' + VERB + SUBJECT (possessed verbal noun)
 
====Split-ergativity====
Anbirese has split-ergativity: past tense verbs display ergative alignment, and non-past tense verbs have accusative alignment.
 
That is, the subject is marked with the preposition ''u'' for transitive verbs, and is unmarked for intransitive verbs. In the case of transitive verbs, the ergative marking occurs regardless of whether or not there is a direct object.
 
Examples:
{{col-begin}}
{{col-break}}
'''Transitive verbs'''
:''Xabin '''u''' na.''
:eat.PRET ERG 1SG
:'I have eaten.'
 
:''Xabin '''u''' na n sáeng.''
:eat.PRET ERG 1SG DEF bread
:'I have eaten the bread.'
 
:''A tjéobrjeong '''u''' na n kéolsjang χa.''
:but leave.PRET ERG 1SG DEF glh_schanng there
:'But I left the kefir-soaked Bjeheondian salad there.'
{{col-break}}
'''Intransitive verbs'''
:''Eoseong eo már.''
:die.PRET DEF tree/PL
:'The trees died.'
 
:''Farjeogin meo nóγeol χaltan.''
:return.PRET 1PL.EXC.POSS dog/PL at_last
:'Our dogs finally returned.'
{{col-end}}
 
===Copula===
{{SUBPAGENAME}} is zero copula in the present tense; ''ngu'', ''si'', ''jeo'' and ''thar'' can be used as present tense copulas.
 
The past tense copula is ''latheon'' and the infinitive is ''fath''.
 
===Pronouns===
na, skid, ngu, si, jeo, me, tid, skid, thar = I, you, he, she, it, we (exc), we (inc), you, they
 
There is also an archaic 2nd person singular pronoun ''fjeor'' 'thou'.
 
===Prepositions===
*ljeo = accusative (ljeo + eo/n > ljeon) (only used with definite nouns in modern {{SUBPAGENAME}})
**''ljeo-na, (ljeo-s,) lj-u, l-i, lj-eoz, lj-eom, ljeof, ljeok, ljur''
*djeo = in, at (djeo + eo/n > djeon)
**''djeo-na, (deo-s,) dj-u, d-i, dj-eoz, dj-eom, djeof, djeok, djur''
*ae = to, for (ae + eo/n > aen)
**''aemna, (aebeos), aebu, aebi, aebeoz, aebeom, aebeof, aebeok, aebur''
