'''Amphirese''' (''amphirim'' /amphirim/) is a major Talmic language descended from [[Tigol]], inspired by Welsh, Korean, Etruscan and Romani. Relative to [[Eevo]], it has a relatively conservative verb system. | '''Amphirese''' (''amphirim'' /amphirim/) is a major Talmic language descended from [[Tigol]], inspired by Welsh, Korean, Etruscan and Romani. Relative to [[Eevo]], it has a relatively conservative verb system. On the planet of [[Verse:Tricin|Tricin]] ({{SUBPAGENAME}}: ''i Samąx'' /i səˈmɔːx/), it is an analogue of German in terms of influence and grammar. It is inspired by Irish, Arabic, Persian, Polish, Romanian and German. {{SUBPAGENAME}} is the official language of the Talman nation [[Verse:Tricin/Anvir|Anvir]] and of former colonies in Cualuav and Txapoalli; after [[Eevo]], it is the second-largest Talmic language in terms of number of speakers, though most modern speakers know Eevo. Like most modern Talmic languages, {{SUBPAGENAME}} is a descendant of [[Thensarian]]. Like with German, there is a Standard Anvirese and various regiolects. | ||
Thanks in large part to the printing press, Modern {{SUBPAGENAME}} rapidly gained prominence over a larger area in Northern Talma and came to serve as a lingua franca for northern mainland Talma. Today, {{SUBPAGENAME}} still enjoys status as a "cultured" language and is one of the most widely taught foreign languages. | |||
This language began as ''Tíogall'', which was a thought experiment posing the question "What would Irish look like with umlaut instead of palatalization?". For a while it developed as an Irish-German hybrid. At one point I decided to remove all "giblangs" from modern Tricin, or languages with the aesthetics of one natlang (unless the premise was funny, like [[Bhlaoighne]] or [[Clofabosin]]). Since Tíogall was basically an Irish with German characteristics, it was abandoned. I still felt that Talmic languages needed somewhat more internal diversity (in particular, a "German" analogue to Eevo's "English"), so I decided to revive this project as "Anvyrese" or "Anvirese". | |||
