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 ildær(Mezco, "we have food") and Psér nŭ yako ildeā.

The Pséri people originate in the Fāsei Basin, from Paleogadaic peoples who migrated south from the Loïkar Basin. Around 2500 UH, they began expanding away from the Fāsei, settling in the Mezcof Basin and eastern Gadah.

Dialects

Psérg

Psérgi is the standard dialect of Psér. It is mostly derived from various dialects spoken by deportees during the Faa Massacre. These various dialects mixed to become the singular dialect spoken in Psérg and Toghchen, which was then chosen by the SEE as the standard dialect of Standard Psér.

Miskŭ

Eastern Hyrîaow

Eastern Hyrîaow is the only dialect that is no longer spoken by any Psér speaker(L2 or native). The notable differences between standard Psér is that /e/ was instead pronounced /æ/, and ŭ tended to be pronounced /ø/. These differences eventually mixed with Mezecki, eventually forming a creole in the Mezcof, which later became known as Mezco.
