'''Psér'''(''ēago ebēsri'') is one of the oldest Gadaïc languages in Talkoch. It is one of the only modern Gadaïc languages that still mostly derive from [[Paleogadaic]], as opposed to [[Proto-Gadaïc]] which all other Gadaïc languages derive from. Its alphabet, the '''Pséri''' alphabet, is one of the oldest in Radael, and modified versions of it are used in [[Ösrish]], [[Arnic]] and [[Isali]]. Some languages like [[Mezco]] are directly descended from Psér, which can be seen in sentences like ''nœ yago ridyær''(Mezco, "we have food") and Psér ''nŭ yako ildeā''. | '''Psér'''(''ēago ebēsri'', <small>Psér:</small> [[Help:IPA|[ˈeː.ago ˈebeː.ʂɹi]]]) is one of the oldest Gadaïc languages in Talkoch.

Psér uses a modified version of one of the oldest alphabets in Radael, the Ancient Gadir alphabet. The notable differences between the original alphabet with the Pséri alphabet is that [[w:Glottal stop|glottal stops]] have their own symbols, and vowels with diacritics([[w:U breve|ŭ]] for example) also have their own symbols. | Psér uses a modified version of one of the oldest alphabets in Radael, the Ancient Gadir alphabet.

Psér, like its ancestor [[Paleogadaic]], is [[w:Stress (linguistics)|prototonic]], meaning that stress is placed on the first syllable of a word. This means that some [[Moshurian]] loanwords, a language where stress is placed on the penultimate syllable, change significantly in Psér due to the rare prototonic rule, e.g. Moshurian ''chirit'' becomes Psér ''shtiyr''. | Psér, like its ancestor [[Paleogadaic]], is [[w:Stress (linguistics)|prototonic]], meaning that stress is placed on the first syllable of a word.

'''Miskŭ''' is the dialect mainly spoken in Briŭyeg.

The notable differences between standard Psér is that /e/ was instead pronounced [æ], and ŭ tended to be pronounced [ɶ], as well as stress being placed on the penultimate syllable instead of the first. These differences eventually mixed with [[Mezecki]], eventually forming a creole in the Mezcof, which later became known as [[Mezco]]. | ||
