'''Tsrovesh''' (''croveš'' /tsʁoˈveʃ/) is a [[Lakovic]] language spoken in Txapoalli, inspired by Modern Hebrew, Georgian and Armenian.
 
<!--
 
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 (Are those really syllabic resonants?). 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 me)
 
Medial consonant clusters are also common:
 
* ''ertma'' (spider)
* ''detkvis'' (limestone)
* ''opxram'' (reed)
 
All final clusters are prohibited.
 
===Stress===
Stress is always penultimate.
 
==Morphology==
===Nouns===
Plurals by redup: ''crov'' 'a language' > ''circrov'' 'languages'
 
Definite suffix ''-i'': ''lakov'' 'a person' > ''lakovi'' 'the person'
 
Somewhat agglutinating; no grammatical gender
 
Honorifics?
 
===Verbs===
be-, ki-, sa- from fossilized verbs?
 
===Pronominal suffixes===
 
-i, -eč, -ek, -eš, -eb?
 
==Syntax==
===Constituent order===
 
Tsrovesh sentence structure is SVO and head-final, except for complementizer phrases and prepositional phrases (think Chinese). 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, ža-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
 
azar, kin, šelvi, sṃči, mevti, cohi, avci, lucebi, azorbi, kteva?
 
?, ?, ?, ?, čorti, uškni, voherbi, adorgi, ktela, ktela azareb, ktela kineb, ktela tvagib, ktela lucmib, ...
 
20 = ktela mekin
