Tenibvreth is one of three modern dialects of '''[[Braereth]]''', spoken primarily by the vampire clans.

The phonology is similar to [[Braereth|Classical Braereth]], but is marked by vowel raising, vowel deletion, the establishment of a pure palatal series, and fricativization of the traditional palatal lateral.

Tenibvreth is also characterised by extensive borrowing of terms from Germanic, Slavic, Gothic, and other Romance sources; conversely, certain Classical Latin terms are preserved which were lost in most or all other Romance languages.

===Notable Changes from Braereth to Tenibvreth===
Word-initially, ⟨ui⟩ is realized as [vi] or [ʋi].

Word-internally, there is very little change from the classical language aside from some minor changes:
* ⟨bv⟩: β → v
* ⟨cj⟩: cç → ʨ
* ⟨ctj⟩: kʨ → kɕ
* ⟨dj⟩: ʤ → ʥ
* ⟨ei⟩: ei̯ → i
* ⟨gj⟩: ɟʝ → ʥ
* ⟨l⟩: l → ɮ after a voiced obstruent (i.e. /bl, ɡl/ = [bɮ, ɡɮ])
* ⟨l⟩: l → ɬ after an unvoiced obstruent (i.e. /pl, kl, fl/ = [pɬ, kɬ, fɬ])
* ⟨lj⟩: ʎ → ɮ
* ⟨ou⟩: ou̯ → u
* ⟨qu⟩: kw → kʋ
* ⟨sj⟩: ʃ → ɕ
* ⟨tj⟩: ʧ → ʨ
* ⟨zj⟩: ʒ → ʑ

However, word-final vowels are often elided, and the newly-exposed final consonants take on a wide variety of new forms. Final unstressed ⟨u⟩ is deleted word-finally in nouns and adjectives.
* ⟨u⟩: u → ∅ (when unstressed at the end of a word except in diphthongs)
* ⟨c⟩: k → χ
* ⟨d⟩: ð → θ
* ⟨lj⟩: ʎ → ʎ (This remains palatalized while all word-internal instances of [ʎ] become [ɮ].)
* ⟨r⟩: r → ʀ
* ⟨t⟩: ð → θ

Final unstressed ⟨e⟩ is deleted word-finally, but triggers palatalization to the previous consonant.
* ⟨e⟩: e → ∅ (when unstressed at the end of a word)
* ⟨de⟩: de → ʥ
* ⟨le⟩: le → ʎ
* ⟨ne⟩: ne → ɲ
* ⟨re⟩: re → ʐ
* ⟨te⟩: te → ʨ

Final unstressed ⟨a⟩ is often reduced to [ə], but rarely elided in speech.

==Tenibvreth “Argot” Spelling==

While, officially, Tenibvreth uses the same orthography as [[Braereth|Classical Braereth]], the spelling is often modified to more closely reflect the spoken language. While non-standard spellings by definition do not have official rules, there are some tendancies to be aware of.

NB: Where Tenibvreth spellings are used in the text of this wiki, they are enclosed in double angle brackets (e.g. ⟪''patr''⟫).

* Final ⟨-u⟩ is dropped completely except in a diphthong (e.g. ⟨au⟩, ⟨eu⟩, or ⟨ou⟩).
** '''''[[Contionary: patru#Braereth|patru]]''''' → '''''[[Contionary: patr#Tenibvreth|patr]]''''' ‘father’
** '''''[[Contionary: montu#Braereth|montu]]''''' → '''''[[Contionary: mont#Tenibvreth|mont]]''''' ‘mountain’
** Where ⟨-u⟩ is dropped after ⟨j⟩, the ⟨j⟩ is deleted as well and replaced by an apostrophe to indicate palatalization.
*** '''''[[Contionary: reictju#Braereth|reictju]]''''' → '''''[[Contionary: reict’#Tenibvreth|reict’]]''''' ‘right’
*** '''''[[Contionary: ignju#Braereth|ignju]]''''' → '''''[[Contionary: ign’#Tenibvreth|ign’]]''''' ‘fire’
** Where ⟨-u⟩ is dropped after ⟨t⟩, ⟨t⟩ becomes ⟨th⟩. (This does not occur when ⟨t⟩ appears in a cluster such as ⟨nt⟩.)
*** '''''[[Contionary: natu#Braereth|natu]]''''' → '''''[[Contionary: nath#Tenibvreth|nath]]''''' ‘born’
*** '''''[[Contionary: crutu#Braereth|crutu]]''''' → '''''[[Contionary: cruth#Tenibvreth|cruth]]''''' ‘short’
** Where ⟨-u⟩ is dropped after ⟨d⟩, ⟨d⟩ becomes ⟨th⟩. (This does not occur when ⟨d⟩ appears in a cluster such as ⟨nd⟩ or ⟨ct⟩.)
*** '''''[[Contionary: cjaudu#Braereth|cjaudu]]''''' → '''''[[Contionary: cjauth#Tenibvreth|cjauth]]''''' ‘hot’
*** '''''[[Contionary: vridu#Braereth|vridu]]''''' → '''''[[Contionary: vrith#Tenibvreth|vrith]]''''' ‘green’
** Where ⟨-u⟩ is dropped after voiced ⟨s⟩, ⟨s⟩ is written as ⟨z⟩.
*** '''''[[Contionary: espousu#Braereth|espousu]]''''' → '''''[[Contionary: espouz#Tenibvreth|espouz]]''''' ‘husband’
*** '''''[[Contionary: drosu#Braereth|drosu]]''''' → '''''[[Contionary: droz#Tenibvreth|droz]]''''' ‘back’
* Final ⟨-e⟩ is dropped and an apostrophe is added (indicating palatalization).
** A deleted final ⟨e⟩ after the letters ⟨d, t, l, n, r⟩ causes palatalization:
*** '''''[[Contionary: pide#Braereth|pide]]''''' → '''''[[Contionary: pid’#Tenibvreth|pid’]]''''' ‘foot’
*** '''''[[Contionary: mare#Braereth|mare]]''''' → '''''[[Contionary: mar’#Tenibvreth|mar’]]''''' ‘sea’
** The apostrophe is usually omitted after infinitives, but the final ⟨-r⟩ is still realized as [ʐ].
*** '''''[[Contionary: mengjare#Braereth|mengjare]]''''' → '''''[[Contionary: mengjar#Tenibvreth|mengjar]]''''' ‘to eat’
*** '''''[[Contionary: ire#Braereth|ire]]''''' → '''''[[Contionary: ir#Tenibvreth|ir]]''''' ‘to go’
** Where final ⟨-e⟩ follows a ⟨j⟩, both letters may be deleted (as the apostrophe is ostensibly doing the same job as the ⟨j⟩).
*** '''''[[Contionary: setje#Braereth|setje]]''''' → '''''[[Contionary: set’#Tenibvreth|set’]]''''' ‘seven’
*** '''''[[Contionary: milje#Braereth|milje]]''''' → '''''[[Contionary: mil’#Tenibvreth|mil’]]''''' ‘thousand’
** The apostrophe is also used where there is no palatalization:
*** '''''[[Contionary: denouve#Braereth|denouve]]''''' → '''''[[Contionary: denouv’#Tenibvreth|denouv’]]''''' ‘again’
*** '''''[[Contionary: procime#Braereth|procime]]''''' → '''''[[Contionary: procim’#Tenibvreth|procim’]]''''' ‘near’
* ⟨qu⟩ is often written as ⟨qv⟩.
** '''''[[Contionary: quei#Braereth|quei]]''''' → '''''[[Contionary: qvei#Tenibvreth|qvei]]''''' ‘what’
** '''''[[Contionary: ecquilju#Braereth|ecquilju]]''''' → '''''[[Contionary: ecqvil’#Tenibvreth|ecqvil’]]''''' ‘that’
* ⟨ui⟩ is written as ⟨vi⟩ when word-initial.
** '''''[[Contionary: uictjou#Braereth|uictjou]]''''' → '''''[[Contionary: victjou#Tenibvreth|victjou]]''''' ‘eight’
** '''''[[Contionary: uictoce#Braereth|uictoce]]''''' → '''''[[Contionary: victoc’#Tenibvreth|victoc’]]''''' ‘eighteen’
