Forms of '''{{PAGENAME}}''' (English: ''soo-WAHZH''; High Sj. ''Sjowaázh éñ·sheg'' /stsʊwɑ̌ːʐ̊ ɛ́ⁿʂˑɛk/, lit. 'Sjowaázh its-language') are the dominant languages in [[Verse:Tricin/Sjowaázh eñZóol|Sjowaázh eñZóol]] in [[Verse:Tricin/Txapoalli]]. Sjowaázh is a polysynthetic, fusional language with a complex verbal morphology. It is primarily inspired by Navajo, Polish, and Ancient Greek.

{{PAGENAME}} ~~belongs to~~ a single dialect continuum and is otherwise an isolate, though some speculate that {{PAGENAME}} is related to the [[Quame languages]].

{{PAGENAME}} is a single dialect continuum and is otherwise an isolate, though some speculate that {{PAGENAME}} is related to the [[Quame languages]].

Until recently Sjowaázh was highly diglossic, and still is to some extent. Sjowaázh varieties differ mainly in vocabulary and morphology (much of it is the usage and choice of affixes) and secondarily in accent. High Sjowaázh, which is heavily influenced by Classical Sjowaázh, is regarded as the "proper language" and is often used in literature, public announcements and by the upper classes, while the lower orders speak less conservative varieties and sociolects which are sometimes mutually unintelligible. The diglossia is also influenced by gender: women, particularly in urban areas, are more likely than other groups to use some forms and accents closer to High Sjowaázh and are less likely to use strongly marked forms. Since the 1340s (fT), a greater permissiveness towards regional and "nonstandard" varieties of Sjowaázh has taken hold in education; however, due to greater travel and the mass media, marked features in Sjowaázh varieties have also begun to disappear.
