'''Judeo-Nurian''' (placeholder ''han Yúdák lášun'' /hən judak laʃʏn/) is a Celtic language. It is an isolate within Celtic.
'''Thensarian''' (''thēṃsaraquhanquhus/-milacus'', gen. ''-quhanquhasus/-milacī'', Rencadian: ''Thengsornkhwong'') is a classical Ramanuric language and one of two superstrate languages of [[Rencadian]]. It originates from Tālsim. It is inspired by Latin, Sanskrit, and Ancient Greek, and it is a parody of fantasy languages inspired by Latin and Greek, such as High Valyrian.

== Phonology ==
=== Consonants ===
* ''qu quh'' /k{{w}} k{{w}}{{h}}/
* ''g c/k ch'' /g k k{{h}}/
* ''d t th n'' /d t t{{h}} n/
* ''b p ph m'' /b p p{{asp}} m/
* ''j r rh l v s h'' /j r r{{v-}} l w s{{ret}} h/
* ''x'' = /ks{{ret}}/
 
=== Vowels ===
''a ā i y u ū ē ō ae ao ṛ ṝ ṃ'' /ɐ a{{long}} ɪ i{{long}} ʊ u{{long}} e{{long}} o{{long}} ae ao r{{syll}} r{{syll}}ː (nasalization + length)/
 
== Orthography ==
Thensarian uses a variant of the Brahmi script.
 
Brahmi breathy letters are used for ph th ch quh; qu quh written as kv ghv; x uses the kS ligature; t th d n l s uses T DH D N L S.
 
== Morphology ==
IE clone; I'm not gonna work too hard on making Thensarian grammar original, as the purpose of Thensarian is just to be a loan source for Rencadian.
 
Todo: research PIE ablaut
=== Nouns ===
Usually, the nominative singular case markers are -us/-is/-us/-ys masc, -ā/-y/-ū fem, -uṃ/-iṃ/-uṃ/-yṃ neuter, -r/-ō collective. ''-rys'' is a suffix deriving names from ''-r'' nouns, reserved for the Thensarian nobility (sometimes ''-ry'' is used as a feminine counterpart of ''-rys'').
 
''Jabṛvaciṃ vam{{cdb}}vṝpāx.'' = 'We shall slay the Jabberwocky.'
 
=== Adjectives ===
''-ao'' forms adverbs
=== Verbs ===
* Infinitive -lum: -alum, -ālum, -ylum, -ūlum, -y{{mac}}lum
* Personal endings: 1sg -r, 2sg -t, 3sg -m, 1pl.ex, -ivy, 1pl.in -x, 2pl -phas, 3pl -phiam
 
Verb stems mainly use reduplication and Sanskrit-style ablaut to mark tense.
 
=== Reduplication sandbox ===
(Grassmann's law operates on reduplicants.)
==== Inflectional ====
* Ca- reduplicant for the progressive aspect
:: ''quhanix'' 'we speak'; ''quaquhanix'' 'we are speaking'
* CalaC- reduplicant for the past tense
:: ''qualaquhanix'' 'we spoke'
* CanC- reduplicant for the irrealis
:: ''quanquhānix'' 'we shall speak; let us speak'
 
==== Derivational ====
* ''quhan-alum'' = to speak -> ''quhan<quh>us'' (s-stem neuter) = speech
