-'''Ouřefr''' /ˈəʊr̝ɛfə/ (''Ouřefŕnie cijtnŕ'' /əʊr̝ɛfəɲeː tsijʔtnɐː/) is an [[Idavic]] language belonging to the Nabŋaic branch. It is inspired by Czech, Dutch, Cantonese, and Japanese (but mainly by the first two). It is the second most widely spoken Nabŋaic language after [[Nabbrzé]], which is the Mandarin/Russian counterpart.
+'''Řeuŋnie''' is an a priori conlang inspired by Czech, Dutch, and Cantonese.
-Unlike Nabbrzé, Ouřefr has more loans from the clasiscal language [[Netagin]], a fellow Idavic language.

-Realizing /c ɟ ɳ/ as [tʲ dʲ nʲ] is a feature of sung Ouřefr.

 ====Notes on consonant diachronics====

+Proto-Idavic *ť ď has shifted to '''*č dž''' > '''c z'''.
 ===Vowels===
-Ouřefr vowel orthography is more conservative, and reflects a shift similar to the Great Vowel Shift (cf. Common Czech and Dutch), which also affects loanwords before the shift.

 ====Notes on vowel diachronics====
-Ouřefr has lost Proto-Nabŋaic vowel length. Pre-Proto-Nabŋaic i u e a ī ū ē ā become e o e a i y ě o when not lengthened. Unlike in Nabbrzé, some vowel devoicing has occurred (cf. Japanese), which gave Ouřefr more consonant clusters.
+Řeuŋnie has lost Proto-Nabŋaic vowel length. Pre-Proto-Nabŋaic i u e a ī ū ē ā become e o e a i y ě o when not lengthened. Some vowel devoicing has occurred (cf. Japanese), which gave Řeuŋnie more consonant clusters.
 Long vowels result from open-syllable lengthening (OSL): **čettijn > *četijn; **četijn > *čétijn. OSL occurred before the devoicing, making the Ourefr distribution of long vowels somewhat similar to Czech.
-Modern '''ie ý/í oe ú''' result from older 'ää ý/í ó ú. Old Ouřefr u, ú has shifted to i, ij after soft consonants ''j č ž š ň *ľ ř''.
+Modern '''ie ý/í oe ú''' result from older 'ää ý/í ó ú. Old Řeuŋnie u, ú has shifted to i, ij after soft consonants ''j č ž š ň *ľ ř''.
 Palatalizing '''eu''' /œː/ is common in native words. Common sources are:
-*Old Ouřefr /æː/ before velars or /l/: for example, ''řeuŋ'' /r̝œːŋ/ 'wind' comes from Old Ouřefr ''řa̋ŋ'' < PNab ''*rěŋu'' < PId ''*rēŋu''.
+*Old Řeuŋnie /æː/ before velars or /l/: for example, ''řeuŋ'' /rœːŋ/ 'wind' comes from Old Řeuŋnie ''řa̋ŋ'' < PNab ''*rěŋu'' < PId ''*renwi''.
-*Old Ouřefr long /juː/, coming from PId /ew/ or /iw/.
+*Old Řeuŋnie long /juː/, coming from PId /ew/ or /iw/.
 Non-palatalizing '''ui''' /œː/ comes mostly from historical ''*ujV'' or loanwords.
 Most speakers today are in the process of merging /ɜː/ into '''á''' /aː/.
-As suggested by the spelling, '''r''' /ɜː/ comes from syllabic ''r''; they are cognate to Nabbrzé ''-arz/-árz''.
+As suggested by the spelling, '''ŕ''' /ɜː/ comes from syllabic ''r''.
-===Pitch accent===
-Long vowels take two morae; downstep as in Japanese
-*''bác'' (''baàc'') /baꜜ.ats/ 'basil'
-*''bác'' (''bàac'') /ba.atsꜜ/ 'feather'
-*''bác'' (''baac'') /ba.ats/ 'stump'
-Accent is not distinguished in the native orthography except in dictionaries; hence all three words above will be transliterated ''bác'', unless disambiguation is needed.
