'''{{PAGENAME}}''' (natively ''an dûaigh Cùm'' /ʔan dˠûəj kʰūːm/, written ''Kurm'' in the Wiebian alphabet) is a lect of [[Wiebian]] and the official language of the [[Verse:Kurm Republic]]. It's inspired by Irish and Chinese: it's a monosyllabic tonal language with palatalized consonants and initial consonant mutations. Unlike other Wiebian lects, Kurmian retains the [[Ancient Wiebian]] declension system.

From Schnueher page:
 
Tone from French style weakening of finals? (-d, -t > high (short V)/rising (long V); -s > low (short V)/falling (long V); -de/-te > -t)
 
final stops > high tone; final -Ce > final -C; final -l > ŋ
 
nasal vowels > vowel + w
 
-s would still serve as a tone marker
 
Some AW sources for finals:
*-p < -fe, -ffe, -pf(e), -be
*-t < -de, -te
*-k < -cke
*-m < -me, -mpfe
*-n < -ne, -nde, -nze
*-ŋ < -nge, -nke, -l, -le
*-w < -m, -n, -nd, -ng, -nk, -b, -f
*-ː < -ge
*-j < -tz, -tze, -sche, -st, -ste, -che (ich-laut), -se
*-h < -re, -che
 
Uncategorized: -mpf, -mpfe, -nd, -nde, -nz, -nze, -nk, -nke > -m(h), -n(ʔ), -n(h), -ŋ(ʔ)?
