Rhythoed (brits Răthoyd or brits Dămea) is the most dominant modern descendant of Windermere, spoken all over Bjeheond and Wen Dămea and in parts of Fyxám.
After the Mărotłian-Gariadian War, Windermere lost much of its importance in Talma, but still had a strong presence in Bjeheond.

Diachronics
Diglossia
Spoken Rhythoed is pretty much the same in all three continents, except for accent and a few vocabulary differences.
Wen Dămea is heavily diglossic: literature and newscasts use a language much closer to Classical Windermere. Written Rhythoed in Fyxám and Bjeheond are very close to the spoken language, but they use different alphabets: Fyxám uses the Clofabic alphabet, while Bjeheond uses the Wiobian alphabet.
Phonological history
- ə > 0 after aspirated consonants and fricatives. This makes the voicing alternation in the Classical Wdm. spirants f and th phonemic.
- r > ɹ in the Bjeheond dialect (Talma has an Icelandic/Philly accent and Bjeheond has a British RP-ish accent)
- l > ʟ in the Wen Dămea dialect
- ł > ś, ş > ṣ
Grammatical history
- Aspect largely becomes a derivational device, cf. the development of PIE aspects
- Grammaticalization of conjugated auxiliaries, leading to a tense system.
