'''Tsrovesh''' (''croveš'' /tsɣoˈveʃ/) is a [[Lakovic]] language spoken in Txapoalli, inspired by Modern Hebrew and Georgian.
 
<!--
 
This is a short reminder of the language format policy.
 
I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).
II. Write a short introduction to your language. (Who speaks it? When was it created? By whom? or what? are some example questions that can be answered here)
III. Once done, try making sure everything is properly spelt so as to avoid unnecessary reader fatigue.

====Intonation====
 
===Phonotactics===
Tsrovesh phonology is slightly less restrictive than Israeli Hebrew but much more so than Georgian. As in both languages, initial consonant clusters appear frequently in Tsrovesh. Initial clusters of the form ''l/r'' + consonant are allowed. For example:
 
* ''croveš'' (the name of the language)
* ''ldag'' (door)
* ''šmer'' (man)
* ''cnaxat'' (dream)
* ''gzin'' (to shine)
* ''vlo'' (to live)
* ''lvar'' (to play)
* ''tkešet'' (regardless)
* ''švili'' (for)
 
Medial consonant clusters are also common:
 
* ''ertma'' (spider)
* ''detkvisi'' (limestone)
* ''opxram'' (reed)
 
Clusters must obey a sonority hierarchy, i.e. a resonant (one of ''m, n, l, r'') cannot come between two non-resonants. For example, /tkv/ is allowed but /kmv/ is not.
 
All final clusters are prohibited.
 
===Stress===
Stress is always penultimate.
 
==Morphology==
 
==Syntax==
===Constituent order===
 
Tsrovesh sentence structure is VSO and head-final, except for complementizer phrases and prepositional phrases. Tsrovesh is not zero-copula; the word for 'to live' is used as a copula. Word order is strict, and topicalization occurs with the suffix ''-eti''.
 
===Noun phrase===
 
The adjective comes before the noun in Tsrovesh:
 
''ha-udvanit ertma'' = the happy spider
 
(udvanit = happy, ertma = spider)
 
But relative clauses are placed after the noun:
 
''ertma, li-ves ha-šmer kixaven'' = spider who the man killed
 
===Verb phrase===
 
===Sentence phrase===
====Conjunctions====
''et'' = and
 
''-eb'' = and (used like Latin ''-que'')
 
===Dependent clauses===
<!-- etc. etc. -->
==Numbers==
Windermere 1-5: doan, rath, stiw, smech, müets
 
?, ?, ?, ?, ?, mevti, uškni, voherbi, adorgi, ktela, ktela azareb, ktela kineb, ktela tvagib, ktela lucmib, ...
