| '''Aevehāne''' (''we Aevehāne'' /we aeveha:ne/ < Proto-Aevehāne *ąiweθwānē < PQ *φan-gwetwaʀne 'self-language') is a [[Quame languages|Quame language]] inspired by Polynesian languages, Japanese, Irish, Greek and Elu Prakrit. It is spoken by the Aeharo people, originally native to the north Etalocian archipelago Ualāho we Sāvea /uala:ho we sa:vea/ (Proto-Aevehāne uhalāxo xwe sāṁēh < PQ uslāko φin- stāme) 'Home of the Six' and is an official language in parts of Eastern Talma and Northern Etalocin.

| == Diachronics ==
| |
| single j/s/intervocalic w loss; séimhiú single consonants like crazy (but syncope doesn't happen!) (Irish/Hebrew style séimhiú doesn't occur as a 1-step systematic sound change anywhere else in Tricin)
| |
| | |
| vowels are very conservative relative to Proto-Eta-Talmic; unless subject to CL, denasalized or part of an inflectional ending both quality and length stay the same | |
| | |
| It also treats all 3 stop series differently (when not initial)
| |
| | |
| Loosely, "what if Irish didn't syncope"
| |
| * Intervocalically, the single consonants become:
| |
| ** p t T k q Kw b d ḍ g ɢ Gw p' t' !t' k' q' Kw' s w j l r m n → ø h/ø r h h w b d ḍ g ʻ w p t ṭ k ʻ w ø ø ø l r v n
| |
| ** Greekification: VCj > ViC' where C' is depalatalized
| |
| * Clusters simplify:
| |
| ** sφ st sT sk > s s x x
| |
| ** s + voiced stop > z
| |
| ** φs ts ks > s s s
| |
| ** rC > C, lC > C
| |
| ** some ClV, CrV > CVlV, CVrV; but other Cl Cr simplify to l r
| |
| ** an en in on un > ae ea ī oa ou
| |
| ** stop + nasal > ʔ + nasal > vowel RTR-ization + nasal
| |
| * All final consonants disappear, but sometimes they leave a trace as diphthongization
| |
| | |
| How do I get all 25 VV hiatus combinations?
| |
| | |
| PCel ''wesākos'' 'raven' would become ''veāho'' (the vowel hiatus also occurs in Scottish Gaelic ''fitheach'')
| |
| | |
| gabros > gaboro
| |
| | |
| ==Phonology==
| |
| Aevehāne is predominantly CV like most languages in Northern Etalocin; however, unlike surrounding languages it lacks clicks.
| |
| ===Phonotactics===
| |
| Only glottal stops are allowed syllable- and word-finally.
| |
| | |
| ===Consonants===
| |
| *n ṇ /n ɳ/
| |
| *p t ṭ k ' /p t ʈ k ʔ/
| |
| *b d ḍ g /b~(implosive b)~m d ɖ g/
| |
| *f s x h /f s x h/
| |
| *v w /v w/
| |
| *r l /r l/
| |
| | |
| w is pronounced /ʍ/ by older speakers.
| |
| | |
| ===Vowels===
| |
| a e i o u ā ē ī ō ū /a e i o u a: e: i: o: u:/
| |
| | |
| nasal vowels?
| |
| | |
| ===Stress===
| |
| Stress is always penultimate.
| |
| | |
| ==Grammar==
| |
| Aewehāne grammar is SOV with prepositions.
| |
| ===Nouns===
| |
| Plurals are formed by reduplication, as in [[Roshterian]].
| |
| | |
| *nāwi 'heavenly body' > nāwi-nāwi 'heavenly bodies'
| |
| *we Nāwi = Tricin
| |
| | |
| ei = direct object marker
| |
| | |
| === Adjectives ===
| |
| | |
| ===Verbs===
| |
| Verbs do not inflect at all. Preverbal particles are used, as in Windermere.
