| ==Introduction==

| '''{{PAGENAME}}''' (''{{PAGENAME}}-Müđel''; pronounced ''Wírn-Mēung'' /wiɐn35 mɔʏŋ55/) is a relatively conservative [[Wiebian]] lect descended from [[Middle Wiebian]], and a close relative of [[Sŧrah]] (''qʷˁʼe''). It is a tonal language inspired by German, Buyang and Chinese.
