Compared to real-world Chinese, Standard Chinese (中出語 ''Türiŋit ŋää'' /ˈtyriŋit ˈŋæː/) has taken a dramatically different course in the alternate history of [[User:IlL/Lõis]] (地, L-Standard Chinese for 'Earth'). Türiŋit is a co-creation of [[User:IlL]] and [[User:Praimhín]], inspired by Estonian and Turkish.
