'''Wibian''' is a descendant of [[Old Wibian]], inspired by German and Burmese. It is currently the Pfiunic language with the most speakers, and is the official language of Wibermîn and a couple of Wibian-speaking nations in Cualuav.
{{speedy}}
 
==Phrasebook==
*''Hô.'' /ho/ = Yes.
*''Nu miud laz querde fo hling./Nu bimiud querde fo hling.'' = (''informal'') You speak of love and hate.
==Phonology==
Curiously, Wibian phonology is quite similar to [[Eevo]] phonology, similar to the relationship between Mandarin and English phonology.

*/h/ may be written as either {{angbr|''h''}} or {{angbr|''ch''}}; it is pronounced [x] after consonants.
 
===Vowels===
vowels: /a ə i u ɔ~aʊ ɛ~aɪ e~eɪ o~oʊ/, ~ denotes alternation.
 
The Wibian alternation is conditioned by the following rule:
 
*diphthongs before /ʔ, s, ŋ/ OR before nasals
*monophthongs otherwise?
 
The alternants are marginally phonemic, e.g. before consonants that don't alternate like /l, h/.
 
It originally came from the rule "diphthongs in closed syllables, monophthongs in open syllables" (plus diphthongization before /n, s/). This alternation operates after r, -nj > j and attendant vowel coloring.

====Stress====
====Intonation====
 
===Phonotactics===
Wibian phonotactics are simple; the maximal syllable is C(j/w)VC.
 
===Morphophonology===
====Liaison====
====Sandhi====
After a word-final orthographic ''s'', /b d g/ turn into their tense counterparts /p˭ t˭ k˭/.
 
====Alternations upon suffixation====
 
==Morphology==
===Nouns===
The definite article is ''ez'' /ʔɛs/.
 
===Pronouns===
Words derived from the inherited honorific system has replaced pronouns almost completely. Pronouns are an open class as in Japanese. The Quihum first-person pronoun *nax̌ (~ [[Sjowaazheñ]] ''nyaa'', [[Thensarian]] ''nā'', [[Eevo]] ''naw''), though, still survives in modern Wibian as ''nu'' /nu/ - which is a ''second''-person pronoun!
