'''Etzeá'''(''etzeá''; [[Help:IPA|[ed͡zeɑ]]]) is the secondary language spoken on the island of Etzeán within the Moshurian Empire. Due to its early geographic isolation from mainland Yeldhic languages, Etzeá became the closest modern living relative to [[Proto-Yeldhic]] in the Yeldhic language family, making the language a key contributor in modern reconstructions of Early Proto-Yeldhic. Since the arrival of the Taskaric [[Néekh]] people in the Tûznam Basin around 1350 UH, various Néekh loanwords and Taskaric language loanwords in general have seeped into the Etzeá lexicon, such as ''ungesku'' [uŋesku] "long spear", from Néekh ''unghêsgu'' [uŋɣejsgu] "Izhkut spear", from Izhkut ''khungëskue'' [xuŋˈɛskuɨ̯] "spear with twisted blade". | '''Etzeá'''(''etzeá''; [[Help:IPA|[ed͡zeɑ]]]) is the secondary language spoken on the island of Etzeán within the Moshurian Empire.
