'''Classical Windermere''' ('''CWdm''', native name: ''băyrits Dămee'' /bəjrits dəˈmeʱ/; Modern Wdm.: ''fi cduay Dămea Ăfur'' [fi kduəj dəmeə ʔəvur]; [[Skellan]]: ''a brits Dymée Yfẃr'' /ə prits təˈmɛi əˈfur/ or /ə prits təˈme əˈfur/ 'Noble Windermere') was a standardized variety of Windermere spoken in the [[Verse:Tricin/Wen Dămea|Imperial Windermere]] territories (''Wen Dămee''), based on the language of Windermere texts from ca. fT 0-500. A classical language of Talma, it lent many words to other Talman languages. A related language [[Tseer]] was used in other parts of the Windermere Empire, and as a result Windermere borrowed many Classical Tseer words. | '''Classical Windermere''' ('''CWdm''', native name: ''băyrits Dămee'' /bəjrits dəˈmeʱ/; Modern Wdm.: ''fi cduay Dămea Ăfur'' [fi kduəj dəmeə ʔəvur]; [[Skellan]]: ''a brits Dymée Yfẃr'' /ə prits təˈmɛi əˈfur/ or /ə prits təˈme əˈfur/ 'Noble Windermere') was a standardized variety of Windermere spoken in the [[Verse:Tricin/Wen Dămea|Imperial Windermere]] territories (''Wen Dămee''), based on the language of Windermere texts from ca. fT 0-500.

Classical Windermere had more vowel contrasts in preinitial syllables: it had two reduced vowels, '''ă''' /ə/ and '''i''' /ɪ/, which merged to '''ă''' in Modern Windermere. This contrast is retained in [[Pradiul]] as palatalization. | Classical Windermere had more vowel contrasts in preinitial syllables: it had two reduced vowels, '''ă''' /ə/ and '''i''' /ɪ/, which merged to '''ă''' in Modern Windermere.
