Whetmer (English: /ˈʍɛtmər/ WHET-mer; natively: in wékər whetmer /in wiəkəɭ ʍɛtmɛɭ/, from Naquian in huēyacaz uehmiz) is the most divergent present day Naquic language spoken in the country of Whetmer. It's somewhat Icelandic inspired.
Grand Master Plan
- Stress shifts to initial.
- hu- > w-, u- > wh-
- Vz > Vr
- ī > i; i > e before r; i otherwise
- How do I get retroflexes?
