'''{{SUBPAGENAME}}''' (''n gaz Anbirjeong'' /ən gǎz ànbirjəŋ/ [ànbírjəŋ]) is a major [[Talmic]] language descended from [[Tigol]], inspired by Sino-Korean, Swedish, and Welsh. compared to its relatives [[Skellan]] and [[Ciètian]], it has a relatively conservative verb system. On the planet of [[Verse:Tricin|Tricin]] ({{SUBPAGENAME}}: ''n Smo'' /ən smo/), it is an analogue of German in terms of influence. {{SUBPAGENAME}} is the official language of the Talman countries [[Verse:Tricin/Anbir|Anbir]] and [[Verse:Tricin/Musun|Musun]] and of former colonies in Cualuav and Txapoalli; it is the second-largest Talmic language in terms of number of speakers. Like most modern Talmic languages, {{SUBPAGENAME}} is a descendant of [[Thensarian]]. Like with German, there is a Standard {{SUBPAGENAME}} and various regiolects.

Thanks in large part to the printing press, Modern {{SUBPAGENAME}} rapidly gained prominence over a larger area in Northern Talma and came to serve as a lingua franca for northern mainland Talma. Today, {{SUBPAGENAME}} still enjoys status as a "cultured" language and is one of the most widely taught foreign languages in the Bitaletan world.

==External history==
The idea of {{SUBPAGENAME}} began as "Tsjoen", before I decided to make it a Tigolic language. The grammar is heavily based on my first Tiogall draft.


==Todo==
Mjeolnir 'big hammer' -- hammer that periodically destroys the world (Sino-Korean myeol 'to wipe out') in Anbirese mythology?
*ot, od > vat, vada
*Numbers: kjam, tjeodeor, nask, tyb, solj, stam, rvaz, laz, paerp, ngjor, jachim, knae
*scaimh 'mountain' > skeγ
*obey < TELIC + 'listen' (like in Þiús'k)
*Conjunctions that take pronominal suffixes, like Arabic ''ʔinna'' and ''ʔanna'' (or maybe Bhlaoighne)
*Swadesh list
*Tigol > {{SUBPAGENAME}} sound changes

plus, {{SUBPAGENAME}} has "accusativus in infinitivo"!
le could be omitted before indefinite nouns in modern {{SUBPAGENAME}}
but Maith Sivy always used it
that's one way of distinguishing archaic from modern {{SUBPAGENAME}}
another could be the use of the pronoun 'fiar'
which in modern {{SUBPAGENAME}} was completely replaced with 'scid'
ca-ephyth = of that
ca-leth = that (acc.)
ca-dzeth = in that; there
ma-, ca-, ta-, m-compounds: this, that, what, which
in that house = ca-dzen souar
or "dze cin souar"
both are valid
the first being more archaic

Anbirese has phonetic palatalization, indicated by writing ''Cj''. Anbirese makes a distinction between palatalized consonants (written ''Cj'') and iotated consonants (written ''Clj''): e.g. ''mjeg'' /m'eg/ = to cover; ''mljeg'' /mjeg/ = to sell.
[w] is an allophone of hard /v/ after consonants.


===Notation===
/t d tʰ s z n/ are dental(ized).
====Radical consonants====
*k χ ng /k x ŋ/
*kj χj ngj /tɕ ɕ ɲ/
*t θ n /t tʰ n/
*tj θj nj /tɕ tɕʰ ɲ/
*c cj /ts tɕ/

*s sj/stj/skj h /s ɧ h/
*r l lj j /r ɴ̆ j j/
 
At word-final position, the voicing distinction in unaspirated plosives is lost, and unaspirated plosives are unreleased.
 
sj = sje, etc.
 
====Lenited consonants====
*g γ /g Ø/
*gj γj /d͡ʑ j/
*d z /d z/
*dj zj /d͡ʑ ɹ/
*dz dzj /dz d͡ʑ/
*b v /b v/
*bj vj /bj vj/
 
====Eclipsed consonants====
*ng ngh /ŋ ŋʰ/
*nj nhj /ɲ ɲʰ/
*n nh /n nʰ/
*m mh /m mʰ/
 
===Mutations===
Anbirese has 3 types of mutations: lenition, eclipsis, and h-prothesis.

Null-initial words may get h-prothesis after certain words.
 
<sup>*</sup>The clusters written ''sp'', ''st'', ''sk'' do not mutate.


===Vowels===
===Vowels===
'''i eu u e eo a o ae oe''' /i ɨ ü e ʌ~ɔ a o~u ɛ~e ø/
Anbirese has 7 vowel phonemes. ''eu'' /ɨ/ may be treated as a hard counterpart of ''i'' /i/: ''mi ni pi ti ki bi di gi fi vi'' are read as ''mji nji pji tji kji bji dji gji fji vji''. ''si zi li'' are an exception: they're pronounced [ɕi ʑi li].
 
''eo'' is /ə/ when unstressed.
 
===Stress===
Stress is weak to nonexistent in Modern Anbirese.
 
===Pitch accent===
Pitch accent is phonemic in Standard Anbirese, and often distinguishes different grammatical forms of the same word.


Each word has one of two possible pitch accents:
{| border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"
#Rising (or low, or peaking): starts low and rises, peaks at the second syllable; unmarked
#High: high and level, falls off word-finally, transcribed with an acute accent
 
For example:
*''skaen'' /skên/ (falling tone) = 'a friend (sg)'; ''n skaen'' /ən skên/ = 'the friend'
*''skáen'' /skěn/ (rising tone) = 'friends (pl)'; ''n skáen'' /ən skěn/ = 'the friends'
*''ael'' (rising tone) = 'loves (present tense)'
*''áel'' (high tone) = 'loved (past tense)'
A handful of dialects lack pitch accent.
 
===Intonation===
*General fall: declarative clauses
*General rise: dependent clauses
*Interrogative: interrogative clauses
 
==Dialectology==
Anbirese is primarily spoken in Anbir, Musun and in overseas Anbirese colonies such as Euldondjama.
===Anbir===
Anbir has more dialectal diversity.
===Musun===
Musunese Anbir is similar to Standard Anbirese Anbirese, but has no pitch accent and uses more analytic constructions.
 
==Orthography==
Like other Talmic languages, Anbirese is written in the Talmic alphabet.
 
==Vocabulary==
Anbirese is about as purist as German, though it has a fair helping of [[Swuntsim]] loanwords. Like in other Talman languages, academic vocabulary has more [[Tseer]] and [[Windermere]] loans.
 
==Morphology==
===Mutations===
Like Qenian, Anbirese has lenition and nasal mutation.
 
===Nouns===
Like its relative [[Ciètian]], Anbirese has three genders for nouns (masculine, feminine, and neuter).
====Definite article====
Regardless of gender and number, the definite article is
*''eo'' before nasals and resonants: ''eo mar'' [ə̀ mǎɾ] 'the tree'
*''n'' before other consonants and before vowels: ''n χeozir'' [ə̀n xə̀ʑîɾ] 'the flower'; ''n abeot'' [nàbə̂t] 'the book'

| '''i''' /i/
|}

====Plural nouns====
| '''o''' /o~u/
A common way to pluralize nouns is by tone change. This is the default paradigm for loans.
 
*''mar'' /mǎɾ/ [mǎɾ] = a tree
*''már'' /máɾ/ [mâɾ] = trees
 
However, many plurals use suffixes or other changes:
*''íms'' /íms/ [îms] = a loved one
*''imseot'' /ǐmsət/ [ìmsə̂t] = loved ones (some dialects use ''ímseot'')
 
Musunese Anbirese always uses ''-eot'' for the plural.
<!--
Nouns only have two states (absolute and construct) and two numbers (singular and plural).  The usual affixes are:
*plural absolute: ''-r''
*singular construct: ''-(y)th''
*plural construct: ''-(y)ph''
 
e.g. ''cythr'' 'flower', ''cythryr'' 'flowers'; ''chyvn'' 'woman', ''chyvnyr'' 'women'.
 
The definite article is always ''i'', or ''in'' before a V or after a preposition.
 
Possessive suffixes: mar-na, mar-s, mar-ou, mar-i, mar-yth, mar-ym, mar-fe, mar-yc, mar-ur (or mar-thur)
 
Plural: mar-ph-yna, mar-ph-s, mar-ph-ou, mar-ph-i, ...
 
''i marna'' = my tree
 
''i cythr suvn-yna'' = my beautiful flower
-->
 
===Adjectives===
Predicate adjectives are uninflected. Attributive adjectives agree with nouns in gender and number by mutations.
 
Adverbs derived from adjectives are unchanged (as in German).

|  
|  
| '''a''' /ɐ/
|  
|}
|}
*Comparative: ''θjangeoban'''teo''''' = more interesting
*Superlative: ''θjangeoban'''eos''''' = most interesting
===Verbs===
Verbs are conservative and similar to [[Ciètian]], with synthetic forms instead of analytic constructions as in [[Skellan]].
====Finite verb inflection====
All forms of an Anbirese verb are formed from four principal parts:
#the present absolute stem
#the imperative stem
#the past stem
#the bare infinitive stem
The forms of an Anbirese verb are the following:
*Present tense: PRESENT + ''-ig'', negative ''θri'' + IMPERATIVE
*Subjunctive (after preverbs): also IMPERATIVE
*Future tense: ''aeb'' + IMPERATIVE
*Past tense: PAST + ''-in''; induces split-ergativity
*Imperative: IMPERATIVE
*''-eod'' infinitive: PRESENT + -eod
*bare infinitive: INFINITIVE
There is no aspect distinction.
====Non-finite forms====
*The ''-eod'' infinitive is used with some modal verbs.
**with ''djeobjeol'', indicates purpose: "in order to VERB"
**with ''ok'' 'from', indicates stopping, avoiding, or preventing from VERBing
**with ''ast'' 'without', indicates "without VERBing" [Dialects may use the ''-a'' infinitive]
*The bare infinitive is mainly used to construct deranked time clauses (like the Biblical Hebrew bi- + infinite construct), and also
**with ''djeo'' 'in', indicates "while the action is taking place" or, when possessed, "while POSSESSOR is VERBing"
**with ''eor'' 'on', indicates "upon/as soon as the action is taking place" or, when possessed,  "upon the POSSESSOR's VERBing"
**with ''nae'' 'by', indicates that the verb's action serves a reason or purpose clause: "by VERBing" or "because of VERBing"
**with ''ok'' 'from', indicates being "beyond VERBing, or preventing from VERBing", or when possessed, "beyond the POSSESSOR's VERBing"
***''Lae mi kai ok neo soela djeo bno.'' = This is too much for me to do all at once. (lit. more than my doing all at once)
**with the accusative marker ''ljeo'', indicates a complement clause. There are two possible syntaxes for the ''ljeo''-complement clause:
***''ljeo'' + SUBJECT + ''seo/s'' + VERB-''a''
***''ljeo'' + VERB + SUBJECT (possessed verbal noun)
**It is also used to form the [[Anbirese/Syntax#Infinitive_absolute|infinitive absolute]].
====Split-ergativity====
Anbirese has split-ergativity: past tense verbs display ergative alignment, and non-past tense verbs have accusative alignment.
That is, the subject is marked with the preposition ''u'' for transitive verbs, and is unmarked for intransitive verbs. In the case of transitive verbs, the ergative marking occurs regardless of whether or not there is a direct object.
Examples:
{{col-begin}}
{{col-break}}
'''Transitive verbs'''
:''Xabin '''u''' na.''
:eat.PRET ERG 1SG
:'I have eaten.'
:''Xabin '''u''' na n sáeng.''
:eat.PRET ERG 1SG DEF bread
:'I have eaten the bread.'
:''A tjéobrjeong '''u''' na n kéolsjang χa.''
:but leave.PRET ERG 1SG DEF glh_schanng there
:'But I left the kefir-soaked Bjeheondian salad there.'
{{col-break}}
'''Intransitive verbs'''
:''Eoseong eo már.''
:die.PRET DEF tree/PL
:'The trees died.'
:''Farjeogin meo nóγeol χaltan.''
:return.PRET 1PL.EXC.POSS dog/PL at_last
:'Our dogs finally returned.'
{{col-end}}
====Strong verbs====
As in Germanic, some Anbirese verbs form the past tense and the ''-eod'' infinitive by using ablaut.
===Copula===
{{SUBPAGENAME}} is zero copula in the present tense; ''ngu'', ''si'', ''jeo'' and ''tar'' can be used as present tense copulas.
The past tense copula is ''lazeon'' and the infinitive is ''faz''.
===Pronouns===
na, skid, ngu, si, jeo, me, tid, skid, tar = I, you, he, she, it, we (exc), we (inc), you, they
There is also an archaic 2nd person singular pronoun ''fjeor'' 'thou'.
===Prepositions===
*''ljeo'' = accusative (ljeo + eo/n > ljeon) (only used with definite nouns in modern {{SUBPAGENAME}})
**''ljeo-na, (ljeo-s,) lj-u, l-i, lj-eoz, lj-am, ljeof, ljeok, ljur''
*''djeo'' = in (djeo + eo/n > djeon)
**''djeo-na, (djeo-s,) dj-u, d-i, dj-eoz, dj-am, djeof, djeok, djur''
