+'''Riphean''' (''rivška'') is an Indo-European language of [[Verse:Tdūrzů|Tdūrzů]], spoken in our Poland, Prussia, Latvia and Lithuania. It is inspired by Czech and Dutch and contains vocabulary we think of as Balto-Slavic and non-English Germanic.

 == Phonology ==
+Riphean has consistent initial stress.
+Vowel-initial words get a glottal stop initial, at least in formal speech
+Voiceless stops are not aspirated
+w and v as in Dutch
+c č ď dz dž ň ř s z š ž h ch as in Czech, ľ as in Slovak, ř devoices word-finally
+h devoices to [x]
+''đ'' = [ð], devoices to [θ]
+Stressed ''a e i o u'' = [a ɛ ɪ ɔ u]
+''á é í ó ů'' = [a{{long}} e{{lowered}}{{long}} i{{long}} o{{lowered}}{{long}} u{{long}}]
+''ej ui ou'' = [ɛj œɥ ɔw]
+''l'' is velarized, ''r'' is usually an approximant. Both can be syllabic: ''wlch'' 'wolf', ''crn'' 'grain'.
+Auslautverhärtung
+Unstressed a = [ɐ] (like Portuguese)
