''' | '''Whetmer''' (English: /ˈʍɛtməɹ/ ''WHET-mer''; natively: ''in whâyacar whetmer'' /in ʍaˈjəkəɻ ˈʍɛʔmɛɻ/, from [[Naquian]] ''in huēyacaz huehmiz'') is the most divergent present day Naquic language, a minority language in Hetom. It's somewhat Faroese-, Sardinian- and Malagasy-inspired. | ||

After a stressed syllable, as at the end of most words and in the final two syllables of some, /u, i/ are reduced to [ʷ, ʲ]. Final /a/, and sometimes final syllables, are devoiced at the end of an utterance. | |||

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