'''{{PAGENAME}}''' /ɛ̄/ is a tonal Wiobic language.
{{List subpages}}


==Introduction==
'''{{SUBPAGENAME}}''' (natively ''jạrq Æ'' [jɑ̈˨˩˨ˀ ʔe˧˧], lit. 'Æ sound'; in English /ɛ/ ''eh'') is a [[Verse:Tricin|Trician]] monosyllabic tonal analytic language inspired by Danish and Vietnamese. It belongs to the Rieng-Chrâtt language family. It is spoken in the country of ''Ta{{cdb}}j Vŭ{{tilde}}r'' (lit. the northern land).
Æ is the tonal language which I always wanted in Tricin - one evolved from a nontonal, vaguely Germanic language. It has several obvious nods to Danish, such as the spelling, stød as part of a register tone system, and pharyngealized vowels.


==Phonology==
{{SUBPAGENAME}} used to be written in a native logography, but today it uses an initial-and-rime orthography developed from a fanqie system; the newer orthography is natively named after Lád Ăr Tå{{acute}}vq, who published a large volume of poetry using the system.
===Vowels===
Vowels: '''a e i o u ø æ å æ̊ ů''' /a e i o ɨ ø ɛ ɔ œ~ɶ u/ + pharyngealized versions, written '''ar er ir or ur ør ær år æ̊r ůr''' /aˤ eˤ iˤ oˤ ɨˤ øˤ ɛˤ ɔˤ œˤ~ɶˤ uˤ/


Use Tíogall-ish aesthetic with pharyngealized vowels

===Tones===
Morph into Æ
Æ has four tones:
<poem>
*Unmarked = modal, mid
Chè mè trìa khuất phóng lươm,
*ƨ = '''s'''tød
Áng về xoắt huận trừ đườm đẽo ganh.
*з = '''B'''reathy
Thẫm hường ngơ nghẻ dổi nành,
*ч = '''ch'''ecked
Nghiểu bêm liệp lặn tỷ thanh dói rừ.
 
Gib with lots of từ láy: chè mè (m-), đườm đẽo (-eoC), ngơ nghẻ (-eC), liệp lặn (-ănB)
</poem>
 
''Ýr můj můj (můj mæ̉m)! Mæ̣rq dræ̊̀ blỏv blúq!'' 'Don't be so greedy! You have enough!'
 
== Diachronics sketch ==
Old Æ -ång/k -ong/k -ůng/k -> Modern Æ -æ̊m/vq -øm/vq -ym/vq
 
== Broad phonology ==
=== Initials ===
'''b d bl gl gj g f s fl sl t hj h m n nj ng l lj r v j 0''' /p t pl tɬ c k f s fl ɬ ts ç h m n {{ñ}} ŋ l ʎ ʁ v j~z ʔ/
 
=== Vowels ===
Æ has 13 nuclei: i y ŭ u ů e ø o æ æ̊ ă a å /i y ɨ ɨ{{long}} u e ø o ɛ œ æ æ{{long}} ɔ/
 
=== Finals ===
-0 -j -v -d -r -n -m -q -jq -vq -dq -rq -nq -mq /-0 -j -w -ð -ɐ̯ -ŋ -wŋ͡m -ʔ -jʔ -wʔ -ðʔ -ɐ̯ʔ -ŋʔ -wŋ͡mʔ/
==== Origins of finals ====
* -0 comes from older -0 (tone A), -ʔ (tone B), -h (tone C), -k (tone D)
* -v comes from older -w (tone A), -wʔ (tone B), -f (tone C), -p -wə(final stop) (tone D)
* -j comes from older -j (tone A), -jʔ (tone B), -ç (tone C), -c -jə(final stop) (tone D)
* -d comes from older -ð -l (tone A), -ðʔ -lʔ (tone B), -þ (tone C), -t -ðə(final stop) -lə(final stop) (tone D)
* -r comes from older -r (tone A), -rʔ (tone B), -s (tone C), -q -rə(final stop) (tone D)
* -n from -n -ɲ sometimes -ŋ (add ʔ or final fric as necessary for tones B or C), -nə(final stop) -ɲə(final stop) -ŋə(final stop) (tone D)
* -m from -m sometimes -ŋ (add ʔ or final fric as necessary for tones B or C), -mə(final stop) -ŋə(final stop) (tone D)
 
(Posttonic syllables after nonresonants are lost without a trace)
 
=== Tones ===
8 tones, 2 of which have stød
==== Tone box ====
{| class="wikitable"
!
!A (null/voiced coda)
!B (glottal stop coda)
!C (fricative coda)
!D (voiceless stop coda)
|-
!Modal initial
|a (Hanoi ''ngang'')
|á (Hanoi nonentering ''sắc'')

!Breathy initial

== Narrow phonology ==
Steal from Danish narrow phonology as much as possible
=== Initials ===
Initials are close to their broad transcriptions in Standard Æ.
 
One major dialect has r- = (true pharyngeal) [ħ], Cr = [Cʰ]
 
=== Rimes with no -r- medial ===
