''' | '''Tseer''' (''cher''; natively ''doløt Tseer'' <small>Classical:</small> /doløt tʃẽr̝/ <small>Modern:</small> /dowət tʃẽʃ/; [[Skellan]]: ''brits Txeñz'') is a [[Lakovic languages|Lakovic]] language spoken in Talma. It is inspired mainly by Hmong and Somali, with touches of Burmese (especially for Modern Tseer), Vietnamese and Satem IE languages like Polish. | ||
Tseer was a prominent classical language of Talma, second to [[Windermere]]; it left a significant influence on [[Windermere]] and [[Skellan]]. | |||

==Morphology== | ==Morphology== | ||
Tseer grammar and morphology are rather conservative (unlike [[Windermere]]). For example it has retained the Proto-Lakovic reduplicated plural, pluractionality and gender in verbs and the grammatical function of Proto-Lakovic applicatives or triggers. | |||
