'''Whehmer''' (English: /ˈʍɛtmər/ ''WHET-mer''; natively: ''in wháyatzar whehmer'' /in ʍajətsəɻ ʍɛʔmɛɻ/, from [[Naquian]] ''in huēyacaz huehmiz'') is the most divergent present day Naquic language spoken in the country of [[Verse:Tricin/Whehli]]. It's somewhat Faroese- and Malagasy-inspired.

Whehmer (English: /ˈʍɛtmər/ WHET-mer; natively: in whâyatzar whehmer /in ʍajətsəɻ ʍɛʔmɛɻ/, from Naquian in huēyacaz huehmiz) is the most divergent present day Naquic language spoken in the country of Verse:Tricin/Whehli. It's somewhat Faroese- and Malagasy-inspired.

External history

Whehmer was originally an English giblang with clicks. I decided to use the name for a divergent Naquic language that has the /ʍ/ sound.

Grand Master Plan

  • hu- > w-, u- > wh-
  • Vz > Vr
  • ī > i; i > e before r; i otherwise
  • Get retroflexes from geminates (thus no initial retros)
  • trap-bath split: Naquian a > á before /m n ɳ s ʂ ɻ/ in closed syllables

Phonology

Add some Malagasy touch

Grammar

Unlike other Naquic languages, Whehmer preserves much of Naquic declension. The syntax is also more head-initial.

Nouns and adjectives

  • -i, -ia nouns: calli /kəli/ 'song (nom sg)'; cella /kɛla/ 'song (gen sg)'; caller /kəlɛɻ/ 'song (nom pl)'; callen /kəlɛn/ 'song (gen pl)'
