Asvasiran (Clofabosin: asvasiraserotin, Asvasiran: asvasirâl seroçn) is a closely related language to Clofabosin. It is somewhat mutually intelligible with Standard Clofabosin.

Sound changes

The gemination distinction in Middle Clofabosin turns into spirantization rather than vowel length: savaer "he writes" vs nibuir "he learns".

Asvasiran has diachronic vowel harmony manifesting in words like spwesîr "to feed", borrowed into Clofabosin as spesivir.

Grammar

Asvasiran does not have the timeless/aorist tense, using the future tense -cciet instead: Asvasirae nibuma huçicciet "Asvasiran is easy to learn".
