Flewtish is | Flewtish is a polysynthetic language, something uncommon for the Siberian or the European languages, hinting a distant [[w:Urheimat|Urheimat]] far away from today's Russia (Usually placed near the Mongolian border). The language is split into 4 periods: [[Proto-Flewtish]], Old Flewtish, Flutvas Ewett and Modern Flewtish, each one signified by the historical events accompanying them. It is a biscriptal language, using both the Latin and Cyrillic scripts to be written. An important aspect of the language is differentiating between labialized and non-labialized consonants (Referred in Flewtish as "rounded" and "unrounded") see eg. [kʷáɣ.ok] "Warmth" and [káɣ.ok] "Deer". | ||
While standardized, the language spans over a massive geographical area and as a result, forms a dialect continuum with the most extreme corners (from east Finland to [[w:Ukhta]] being completely unintelligible to each other. One example could be the simple sentence "My favorite pets are cats". Following are the two examples in the dialects spoken in Ukhta and Arkhangelsk respectively: | While standardized, the language spans over a massive geographical area and as a result, forms a dialect continuum with the most extreme corners (from east Finland to [[w:Ukhta]] being completely unintelligible to each other.

Flewtish, from it's early years, was influenced by Mongolic, Turkic and later Indo-European and Uralic languages. The most obvious example would be the large amount of Finnic loanwords into Flewtish (eg. Кӣлъиту "to converse") but even titles from the Flewtish Kingdom such as "Gǎngÿán /ʔgâŋʸán/" (Leader, possibly related to Khagan), "Tãngṽrǐ /ʔtæ̃ŋʷɾiː/" (Same origin as Tengri) and "Tãěrṽágn /ʔtæ̃ɾ.wáŋ/" (Local ruler, related to Tarkhan). On the Indo-European side, the word "цӧѡўӻўг /ˈt͡sø.wy.ɣyg/" (Sheep) is probably borrowed from the Proto-Indo-European word '''*h₂ówis''' and the word "гамнегъ" (milking, from PIE ''*h₂melǵ-''). | Flewtish, from it's early years, was influenced by Mongolic, Turkic and later Indo-European and Uralic languages.

Flewtish can be categorized in four major ''historical periods'', shown below. Flewtish writings first emerged in ~100 CE in syllabaries, and the first consistent writing down of the language begun with the Latin alphabet and christianization of the population through wars and conquering, as well as contact and trading: | |||
# '''Proto-Flewtish''' | |||
## An entirely reconstructed language, with its era set from ~4000 BCE to 100 CE. Through internal reconstruction, there is pretty accurate information about it. | |||
# '''Old Flewtish''' | |||
The oldest written form of the language, primarily using syllabaries. | |||
# '''Flutvas Ewett''' | |||
## Literally meaning "Greater Flewtish", this is the stage of the language (Between 650 to 1600) which saw the rise of the Flewtish Kingdom and the christianization of the population. This is also when the Latin script was first adopted. A lot of formal texts are still codified in a late form of this stage. | |||
# '''Modern Flewtish''' | |||
The modern form of the language. | |||
