Nurian is the official language of the island country of [[Verse:Tricin/Nūrei|Nūrei]] in Txapoalli (spoken near [[Shalian]] and the modern Naquic languages). Standard Nurian is extremely conservative, and contains few loanwords. It used to have less conservative sisters whose words were absorbed into Eevo during the Old Eevo period, and modern Nurian, especially basilectal Nurian, is also a source of loans for Modern Eevo. | ||

Nurian forbids all consonant clusters other than those of the form homorganic nasal + consonant. Word-medially, every consonant can be geminated except /j/ and /h/. Word-finally, usually only /n/, /l/, /ʔ/ (as an allophone of /r/), /h/, /s/, /t/, and vowels are allowed. | Nurian forbids all consonant clusters other than those of the form homorganic nasal + consonant.
