	Dyrel is spoken in [[Verse:Dyrellion\|Dyrellion]], a primarily human city-state situated on a plateau on top of a mountain on the northern half of the ~~contient~~, overlooking the ocean to the west. Dyrellion is a constitutional monarchy with relatively laissez-faire policies. To the east is a forest, part of which is within the domain of Dyrellion, where the Gurim live, though some Gurim live inside Dyrellion proper. To the north is §aı̊yunq̄, where elves live and speak nátr̀ȳ (Natarye). The northern mountains are Tharvast, where dwarves speak both Thurin and Aɣfalen (Angfalen). Dragons reside to the east of these mountains, in tısum iqqol, where they speak Nasraqqor. To the east of the forest, near the center of the continent, is another human kingdom, Xictor. The eastern coast is where the Nokppoddarra live. The southern half of the continent is the Goromic region where the various descendants of Goromul are spoken. Somewhat off the coast of Dyrellion is an island where Odreli, a descendant of Dyrel, is spoken.

			As indicated above, the singular unmarked personal pronouns are equivalent to the verbal person marking, and their plural and case marking is the same as with nouns. These are the personal pronouns:

			1st person: ve/ive <br>
