'''Qazhrian''' (/kɑːʒriən/ ''KAHZH-ree-uhn''; natively: ''brits Qazhrem'' /brits ˈqaʒrɘm/) is a [[Talmic]] language spoken in Qazhra (from Thensarian ''Ȝactrasē''), a [[Verse:Tricin/Etalocin|Talman]] country. It is descended from [[Thensarian]].

==External history==
Talman Lakovic or isolate with mutations, inspired loosely by Welsh
This language was originally called Benocian and was Romance- and Ashkenazi Hebrew-inspired, and it had a strong Portuguese flavor. Recently I decided to rework it, basing the aesthetic more on Breton.


==Ideas==
q > l soft mutation
*Breton-ish but no grammatical mutations. If stuck between Welshy and Breton-ish err towards Breton-ish.
*/ts, dz/ from Thensarian /θ ð/
**d and dz both lenite to z
*/q/ lenites intervocallically to /ʟ/
*/m/ does NOT lenite.
*i ī u ū e ē o ó a ā ae ao ei eo iu oe ui
*''yenal'' = water
