'''{{PAGENAME}}''' (ꞰꞰⳘΔ /ˈɛivɔ/; English: /ˈeɪvoʊ/; from [[Old Eevo]] ''é-'' 'common' + ''bó'' 'language') is a [[Talmic language]] belonging to the Tigolic branch. Eevo is now the most dominant modern language in [[Verse:Tricin|Tricin]]. The beginning of the modern Eevo language is often credited to the Anøvrian philosopher and poet Embisoom Grwid, who wrote his works in the new phonetic, Clofabic-based orthography of his invention (instead of the old Talmic orthography largely based on [[Old Eevo]] pronunciation). As its name suggests, it is a standardized form of a Tigolic koiné which was spoken in the Smewlan Peninsula and across northern Mainland Talma. The emergence of modern Eevo arguably helped unify not only the disparate Tigolic-speaking peoples of Northern Talma, but also the entire Northern Talman diverse ethnic and linguistic milieu.

Eevo is official in three Talman countries: [[Verse:Tricin/Smewla|Smewla]], [[Verse:Tricin/Anøvr|Anøvr]] and [[Verse:Tricin/Phormatin|Phormatin]]. It is also official in [[Verse:Tricin/Fyxáni]] in the continent [[Verse:Tricin/Cualuav|Cualuav]].

*''er-'' is a negating suffix of Talmic origin; it is most commonly used with Talmic adjectives.

*''-flen'' /-fʟɛn/ is an adjectival suffix with the same meaning as Korean ''-tapta'' and Japanese ''-rashii'': it means 'like an X is supposed to be' or 'like a typical X'. The suffix comes from Old Eevo compound adjectives of the form ''X-fheileán'' (from ''feil'' 'name' + ''-án'' adjectivizer; i.e. 'like the name X' or 'worthy of the name X'). Some words with the suffix have undergone semantic shifts, e.g. carflen /ˈkʰarfʟɛn/ 'humane, moral, ethical' (from Old Eevo car "human" + -flen).

*''-ol'' /-ɔ̃/ is an adjectival suffix of Clofabic origin; it is cognate with Clofabosin ''-ol''. It is used mainly in loanwords from [[~~Tamil~~]] or [[Phormatolidin]], or to derive adjectives from Clofabic loanwords; however, it is sometimes used with other words as well.

*''-ol'' /-ɔ̃/ is an adjectival suffix of Clofabic origin; it is cognate with Clofabosin ''-ol''. It is used mainly in loanwords from [[Proto-Clofabic]] or [[Phormatolidin]], or to derive adjectives from Clofabic loanwords; however, it is sometimes used with other words as well.

*''-on'' is a Talmic adjectival suffix, from Old Eevo -án (itself from Proto-Talmic ''*-aʁnəm''.)

*''-u'' (collective) is a common native affix used to form abstract nouns.

==Vocabulary==

Eevo's basic vocabulary is largely Talmic. However, a large portion of Eevo vocabulary (comparable to English) is borrowed, for example from [[Netagin]], [[Clofabic languages]] (including [[~~Tamil~~]]) or other Talmic languages. This gives Eevo a rich array of synonyms.
