'''Qazhrian''' (/kɑːʒriən/ ''KAHZH-ree-uhn''; natively: ''Qazhrem'' /ˈqaʒrem/ or  ''he Lazhrem'' /he ˈʟaʒrem/) 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 not too gibby. Get more palatal consonants.
*/ts, dz/ from Thensarian /θ ð/
**or > /š ž/?
**d and dz both lenite to z
*/q/ lenites intervocallically to /ʟ/
*/m/ does NOT lenite.
*i ī u ū e ē o ō a ā ae ao ei eo iu oe ui
*''nō'' = I
*''gwēzh'' = you (sg)
*''tezh'' = child
*''rond'' = man
*''yenal'' = water
*''gwelh'' [gʷec] = name
*get initial zh from mutations

'''p, f''' are found in loanwords (e.g. from Clofabic and Windermere).
 
Auslautverhärtung operates for plosives and is reflected in the orthography.
 
===Vowels===
Vietnamese/Ivris Modernis/Classical Netagin vowels?
 
'''i, ou, e, eu, o, ē, a, ō''' /i u e ö o ɛ a ɔ/
 
'''ae ao''' /əe əo/
 
'''u ia ua oua''' /ü ia üa ua/ from loans
 
==Morphology==
===Nouns===
Qazhrian lost grammatical gender and all nominal inflections except number and construct state.
 
Article mutation example:
*''tezh'' 'a child'; ''he dezh'' 'the child'
*''rond'' 'a man'; ''he zhond'' 'the man'
 
Construct state example:
*''tezhet he zhond'' 'the man's child'
 
===Verbs===
There are finite verbs, but auxiliaries are also important
 
==Syntax==
