+'''Whetmer''' (English: /ˈʍɛtməɹ/ ''WHET-mer''; natively: ''in whâyacar whetmer'' /in ʍaˈjəkəɻ ˈʍɛʔmɛɻ/, from [[Naquian]] ''in huēyacaz huehmiz'') is the most divergent present day Naquic language, a minority language in Hetom. It's somewhat Faroese-, Sardinian- and Malagasy-inspired.
+==External history==
+Whetmer used to be an English giblang with clicks. I decided to use the name for a divergent Naquic language that has the /ʍ/ sound.
+==Grand Master Plan==
+*hu- > w-, u- > wh-
+*Vz > Vr
+*ī > i; i > e before r; i otherwise
+*Get retroflexes from geminates (thus no initial retros)
+*''Câzrâ'' /kaʂa/ = Qazhra
+==Phonology==
+Add some Malagasy touch
+===Consonants===

+===Vowels===
+'''i î u û e ê o ô ai a â''' /i ui u iu e iə ə o uə ai ə a/; '''w y''' is used for devoiced /u i/.
+After a stressed syllable, as at the end of most words and in the final two syllables of some, /u, i/ are reduced to [ʷ, ʲ]. Final /a/, and sometimes final syllables, are devoiced at the end of an utterance.
+==Grammar==
+Unlike other Naquic languages, Whehmer preserves much of Naquic declension. The syntax is also more head-initial.
+===Nouns and adjectives===
+*''-i, -ia'' nouns: ''cadd'' /kəɖ/ 'song (nom sg)'; ''c'''e'''dda'' /kɛɖ/ 'song (gen sg)'; ''cadder'' /kəɖɛɻ/ 'song (nom pl)'; ''cadden'' /kəɖɛn/ 'song (gen pl)', ''cadditl'' 'song of', ''caddéh'' 'songs of'
+*w-stem nouns: ''ztûr, ztûir, ztûn, ztûn, ztûtl, ztûweh'' 'fire'
