'''L-Sicilian''' is a Thedic language.  
'''Zarḍenlaṇḍs''' /ˈzaʀɖəlaɳʈs/ (name to be changed;  Thedish: ''Sardenlandьsk'') is an Ingvaeonic language spoken in Lõis's Sardinia and Corsica. It's from a separate branch from English and Frisian.


It is literally just Dutch with retroflexes.
It's a member of the Sardinian sprachbund along with Thedish, Sardinian and Kyravar Mazhi, and has a dental-retroflex distinction. The main source of retroflexion in Zardenlands is from a consonant shift where Proto-Ingvaeonic þ d became d ḍ.

As in Standard Dutch, but with the addition of '''ṭ ḍ ṇ ḷ''' /ʈ ɖ ɳ ɭ/. /s z/ have allophones [ʂ ʐ] around retroflexes. [ʀ] is preferred for /r/.
