'''Tsan''' (''kándini tsúyi'' or ''tsani tsúyi'') is a language spoken by the Tsan people in south-western Kazakshtan. It belongs to the Tanisi language family and is thus distantly related to the [[Ris]] language. Tsani 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. Phonologically it exhibits [[w:ejective consonants|ejective consonants]] also realised as voiced stops in some dialects. | '''Tsan''' (''kándini tsúyi'' or ''tsani tsúyi'') is a language spoken by the Tsan people in south-western Kazakshtan.
