+}}'''Tseer''' (''chair''; natively ''døludx Tseer'' <small>Classical:</small> /døludz tʃẽr̝/ <small>Modern:</small> /dəwüts tʃẽʃ/ (the ''-x'' is a feminine marker); [[Windermere]]: ''brits Tsear''; [[Skellan]]: ''brits Txeñz'') is a major [[Lakovic languages|Lakovic]] language spoken in Talma. It is inspired mainly by Hmong and Somali, with touches of Burmese (especially for Modern Tseer), Hebrew, Vietnamese and Satem IE languages like Polish.
+Tseer was a prominent classical language of Talma, second to [[Windermere]]; it left a significant influence on [[Windermere]] and [[Skellan]].
+Like Windermere, it favored the CCVC ablaut grade of Proto-Lakovic roots, though not as strongly as Windermere.
 ==Phonology==

-*Otherwise zh = [r] in Modern Tseezh.
+**Cr clusters = /Cj/ in Modern Tseer, while it was /Cr/ in Classical Tseer.
-*dh is pronounced [ɣ] in conservative accents. Usually it disappears and causes compensatory lengthening of the previous vowel.
+**Syllable-final ''r'' = [ʃ]
+**Otherwise ''r'' = [r]
+*''ð'' is pronounced [ɣ] in conservative accents. Usually it disappears and causes compensatory lengthening of the previous vowel.
 *Unstressed nasal vowels > syllabic nasals: oozhad > nzhad
+*Modern Tseer has consistent stress on the last ''orthographic'' syllable.
+**The feminine ending ''-kh'' is usually pronounced [-əx] or even vocalized to [-ə] after a voiced consonant.
+Nasal/nonnasal vowel split
+a e i o u ø /a e i o ü ə/ + að eð ið oð uð øð (long versions)
+aa ee oo øø = /ã ẽj~ẽ õw~õ ɚ/ + aað eeð iið ooð uuð øøð long versions [These also occur for V + nasal consonant]
+''e'' /e/ is [ɛ] before ''zh''.
+''o'' /o/ is [u] after /w/.
