'''{{PAGENAME}}''' (''Wieber-Müđel'' (''jidd moon'') or ''Reber-Müđel'' (''lidd moon'')) is a Wiebian dialect continuum that includes varieties of Modern Standard [[Wiebian]]. It is often simply called "Wiebian" in-universe. {{PAGENAME}} is intended to be "12-tone Chinese gibberish".

==Morphology==

===Verbs===
 
===Accents and dialects===
*Standard
*Advanced HRJ
*Jüngerriems
*Lerzkorren
*Frintermien
*Keime
<poem>
Jüngerriems accent of Reber: retroflex ->alveolar
so ʈʂ, ʈʂʰ, ʂ pronounced as ts, tsʰ, s
 
Lerzkorren accent: like the Jüngerriems accent but click free
clicks -> uvulars as in bruusing
 
Frintermien: retro and click merge
into click
/ʂ/ -> sje
 
tone mergers: Jüngerriems and Lerzkorren have something funny going on with tones (retroflexes cause a tone change)
 
the Keimian accent would be the weirdest
vowel + ng -> nasalized vowel
unaspirated stops are voiced
(and sometimes become fricatives)
vowel + m -> nasalized vowel + w
or maybe no w
clicks become semitic style emphatics
it's perhaps the hardest accent to pull off for someone from HRJ
sorry, vowel + m,n,ng -> nasal vowel + m,n,(optional ng)
vowels get uniformly tensed
ɛ, œ -> e,ø
/i/ can sound like an apical vowel
(think mandarin)
then vocab differences (Etz vs Jeng ...)
keimian tone mergers:
1 2 3 4 5 6-> high falling, mid level, mid falling, mid falling, low level, low level
