'''Zarḍenlaṇḍs''' /ˈzaʀɖəlaɳʈs/ (Thedish: ''Sardenlandsk'') is a Thedic language spoken in Lõis's Sardinia and Corsica. It is closely related to [[Thedish]].
'''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 largely based on Dutch and Afrikaans but it has retroflexes, from the following sound changes:
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.
*Old Thedish þ > d and Old Thedish d > ɖ
*Old Thedish ft, cht > ṭṭ
**aṭ "eight" < OTh achta
**stiṭṭing "foundation" < *stift-ъnga
*Old Thedish hn-, hl- > ṇ-, ḷ-
**ṇauw "narrow" < OTh hnawwъ
**ḷachen "laugh" < OTh hlahhjьnъ
ZeelaNDs is also much more purist than Dutch, and some loans are also slightly different:
*muisik = music (OTh mūsike)
*amaḍel = almond
*wed, wedden = year; weḍḍen = to bet

Like Afrikaans, Zeelaṇḍs uses the invariable definite article ''die'' and indefinite article ''een''.
Zardenlands has two grammatical genders like Dutch and Swedish: common and neuter.
 
Pluralization normally uses ''-s'' or ''-en'', but some plurals use different affixes: ''die kiṇḍ'' = the child, ''die kiṇḍeren'' 'the children'.


==Adjectives==

The inflected form in ''-e'' is usually used for attributive adjectives regardless of the Dutch or Old Thedish gender:
*''een kleine man, een kleine vrouw, een kleine huis, kleine mannen/vrouwen/huizen''
*''die kleine man, die kleine vrouw, die kleine huis, die kleine mannen/vrouwen/huizen''
