'''Standard Chinese''' (中出語 ''Türiŋit ŋää'' /ˈtyriŋit ŋæː/) has taken a dramatically different course on the alternate history of [[Lõis]] (L-Standard Chinese for 'Earth'). It is the co-creation of [[User:IlL]] and [[User:Praimhín]], inspired by Estonian and Turkish.
'''Tyrith''' (''Tyrith jæ̂'' /ˈtyriθ ˈjæː/, from older *Türiŋit) is a divergent descendent of Old Chinese with vowel harmony. It also has loans from [[Siészal]]. Türiit is a co-creation of [[User:IlL]] and [[User:Praimhín]], inspired by [[Medh Chêl]].
