===Dialects=== | ===Dialects=== | ||
There are two main dialects: Vef and Lop. They were created after the Siryn Split, when the people who favored a strong, absolute dictatorship moved to present-day Sævíùs, /'sævjəs/, (literally means "powerful land") and the people who favored a limited monarchy moved to present-day Pęrsirùs, /pɛʁ'siʁəs/ (literally means "land of family"). Immediately after the separation, there were many wars between the new nations. However, after a horrible defeat, Sævíùs isolated themselves from all outside influence. As a result, a new dialect of Níevzi was born. | There are two main dialects: Vef and Lop.

:*'''Vef''' /' | :*'''Vef''' /'vɛf/ - Vef literally translates to "old", since this dialect was the original second-generation. A Níevzi class will be teaching this dialect as it is the one most accepted to be regular "Níevzi". Vef is spoken by a majority of the people in Pęrsirús. | ||
:*'''Lod''' /' | :*'''Lod''' /'lod/ - Lod literally translates to "new", since this dialect is newer than the original second-generation. This is spoken in Sæviús. The pronunciations of some letters are slightly different and there is an irregular group of verbs that have a different ending from the regular "ë". | ||
