-'''Atsáni tsúyi''', or simply '''Tsani''' /t͡sáni/ is a language spoken in the eastern [[w:United States of America|United States of America]]. It is not known to be related to any extant language and is thus a language isolate. The name, '''Atsáni tsúyi''' /at͡saːni t͡suːji/ means "crafty speech".
+'''Tsani''', or ᏊᏮ  Ꮧ:Ꮂ (''Tsani tsúyi''), pronounced /t͡sʌ̃ʔɪ t͡suwʝɪ/, is a Tanisi language spoken in the [http://antiquity.nationstates.net/nation=tsandi Sultanate of Tsandi]. The Sultanate is located in the eastern region of [http://liberal.nationstates.net/region=sapirica Sapirica]. The language belongs to the Tanisi language family and is thus distantly related to the [[Ris]] language.
-Atsani is a heavily [[w:agglutinative language|agglutinating]] with a complex verbal morphology. The language has repeatedly been analysed as lacking [[w:nouns|nouns]] and [[w:adjectives|adjectives]] altogether, in favour of [[w:verb|verb]]s. Asaari is a [[w:tonal|tonal]] language with a limited vowel inventory, and an extensive array of consonants.

The language has repeatedly been analysed as lacking [[w:nouns|nouns]] and [[w:adjectives|adjectives]] altogether, in favour of [[w:verb|verb]]s. Phonologically it exhibits [[w:prenasalised consonants|prenasalised consonants]], realised as nasal clusters or voiced consonants in different dialects.
 ==Phonology==
 The Tsani inventory has been documented and assessed repeatedly since the 19<sup>th</sup> century, the foremost people in the field being the Belgian linguist Émile d'Ivoire and the Scottish linguist John Glenn Crossing, an expert on Jivan languages.
 ===Consonants===
-The following is a Tsani inventory of consonants, according to Émile d'Ivoire, a model nowadays serving as standard when analysing the language. It mostly differs from others models in terms of orthography, but also in analysing the sequence {{sc|plosive}} + {{sc|labio-velar approximant}} as phonemic ejectives.
