Thurish (THER-ish; Thurish: Thýratha) is spoken in Thýrpath, a Remonitionist country in Irta's Norway and Sweden, as well as in Irta's Orkney and Shetland islands. It's a separate language from Hivantish though it's in the Hivantic family. Its inspirations are Old Norse and Warlpiri.

It has lots of loanwords from Riphean, Finnic and Indo-Iranian.

  • Yúl = Christmas, Yule
    • Thur hizi 20 yúlo. - He is 20 years old

Phonology

Grammar

Thurish has suffixed definite articles and an animacy system in nouns, remodeled from Proto-Hivantic but coincidentally resembling early PIE animacy. This is believed to be the result of Thurish being reshaped by speakers of a Riphic language.

The article paradigm is as follows: animate

  • nom. -in, -na
  • acc. -in, -na
  • gen. -és, -no
  • dat. -í, -nav

inanimate

  • nom. -itt, -in
  • acc. -itt, -in
  • gen. -és, -no
  • dat. -í, -nav
